What is your top travel backpack?

I’ve used cheaper clamshell bags like these Matein-style ones for flights and city travel and I'm happy with them so far. They're lightweight and open flat, also easily fit carry-on limits. I’ve sworn off expensive ones like Farpoint ever since one of my expensive ones went missing at the airport a

Black hole duffle as personal item while flying

That’s a huge bag for under the seat. I also can’t believe you get away with that. I use an Osprey Daylite 26 + 6 pack and that’s just about the max for some airlines. I think the Black Hole Mini MLC is the closest Patagonia option.

First one bag trip report + changes for upcoming trip

Overall, I loved one bagging it. Not rolling a bag through European streets or carrying a ridiculously large duffle bag like I have in the past was such a nice change, especially because I spent a lot of time exploring the city after I checked out of each place I was staying, so everything had to co

Looking for a backpack for short and longer travels - narrowed down to Osprey Daylite 35L and LLBean Approach Travel Pack 39L

Not what you're asking, but I wouldn't get either of those if comfort was my priority. If you're looking for most comfortable to carry, you're going to want a backpack with a hipbelt and an internal frame*. Especially* if you're concerned about your shoulders. If you have a small enough torso, there a

Cotopaxi Alpa 28L vs Patagonia MLC 30

I’m currently on my first trip with the Patagonia MLC, and I’m really enjoying using it! I’m traveling with my two kids (9 & 7), so we aren’t one bagging it (it’s my .5 in a 1.5 system that would be carry-on only in the US, but we’re checking the rollers since we’re over the 7 kg SE Asia carry-on li

If you can only have one? Travel Down Jacket

Doh. I should have read your post more carefully. Didn’t initially see the midweight part. You are right. It’s more the lightweight category. That said, I always carry a lightweight ArcTeryx fleece for the plane anyway. Paired with the MHGW, I am comfortable below freezing. For some colder climate t
