Deceptively Roomy

Tom Bihn Bixi

Made in the USA and built to last forever. The Bixi is one of those bags that somehow fits more than its 32L capacity suggests, with excellent organization and all-day comfort.

Two Bags, One System

Peak Design Travel Backpack 2-in-1

The only bag covered here that has an integrated zip-on day bag built into the bag. Large capacity on the travel bag, perfect box for packing. Excellent straps. And the day bag is damn good for a little rambler.

Protected. Comfy.

Nomatic X Peter McKinnon Camera Pack (25L + 35L)

Mission Workshop Meridian

Forever Built

A pro travel backpack that's gonna last a million years.

Eagle Creek Luggage

Reliably Excellent

Anything from Eagle Creek will last and work better than fine. Recommend.

GoRuck GR3 Backpack

Roomy. Ballistic.

Maximum carry-on size backpack with burly materials, a tight (and long) front pocket, a very protective laptop pocket and a massive main compartment. GoRuck shoulder straps are a personal favorite.

The Frenchie Co. Speed Backpack

Innovative. Fiddly.

The Speed Backpack is elegant, expandable, and features an innovative magnetic panel design for quick on-body access. Might be too innovative, tho.

Remote Equipment Alpha 31

Legend.

Easily one of my favorite bags for serious urban and outdoor daily carry. The Alpha 31 from Remote Equipment is a delight to use and will remain durable for years and years.

Mission Workshop Rhake Backpack

Burly. Organized.

At first glance it looked weird. Then I used it for a couple days. Good god does this bag do it all well. Seriously, so much organization, so well built.

GoRuck GR1 (21L + 26L)

Hardest Core™

Expensive, but it's got an amazing warranty. A simple, understated, powerful bag that will gladly see you through anything in life.
