I've been through a few of these hybrid style bags (yes also a r/ManyBaggers problem child here) Timubk2 Scheme Convertible This is the one I've had the longest and probably the most used Macpac Quest 30L Functions better as a backpack then the other formats, but I love that the waist strap also bec
