I'm 5ft7 and use a Patagonia Refugio 30L and it is extremely comfortable to carry. The latest model has bungee cords on the front that could easily be removed to make it look less casual. It's not a clamshell but has a reasonably deep opening so it doesn't feel too arduous to grab stuff from the bot

I’ve used a Patagonia Refugio 30L for a minute and I’d say it’s a better option

Thanks for taking the time to share. The previous model is the only bag I use for travel. Whilst I do miss the exterior pockets, as well as the strap width and placement my hiking pack has, I really enjoy mine. The new front pocket looks great. I feel as though this should be a consideration on almo

Patagonia Refugio 30l is close to this but it’s all mesh. Non stretchy though

I've looked at: Osprey Daylite 26+6...something about it I just don't love. I know it's highly recommended. Looks like laptop might just barely fit in the case but I'd have to open the whole bag to get to it which is kinda annoying. I love Cotopaxi bags but they won't fit the 16" laptop. For anyone

I like the Patagonia jacket and fleece jacket, but not their backpacks.

Interesting that they got rid of the removable tech sleeve, which I think has been the signature Refugio thing for a while - my coworker has a pretty old one that has it. But it appears they moved that features to the new size of Atom daypack - https://www.patagonia.com/product/atom-daypack-24-liter

I’m contemplating an Atom, but I’m looking to take a single bag for indefinite travel, and it’s such a specialised pack. Please could you share how this setup was the best you’ve tried yet? Liteway also look to be a great company, and one of their packs has a way to keep their laptop sleeve flush to

Very late to this post! I have the Patagonia Refugio 30L and have only used it for airport travel so far. No issues with it, and I think the specific airlines I used it with were Delta and American Airlines. I always used it as a carry-one, and it fits well underneath the seat. All of that to say...
