The wildest bag someone recommended from this post is the TomToc Navigator. It's 40L, but only weighs 2.8 lb, has water bottle holders, compression straps, great laptop/iPad compartment, and one massive clamshell bucket for clothes. And it's only $80, which concerningly cheap

If they used X-Pac or a nicer material it could be even lighter and more durable, add in stowable straps, would be an absolute slam dunk

@philipp Seems kinda gimicky to me imo, but they're in my blog post!

@mikeyp My worry is mostly long term, I've had some really nice cheap bags that after 3-4 years start to disintegrate, where I haven't had that with ones that cost a bit more, so I'm quite hesitant

Sometimes I forget there was a period of television where new episodes of Community, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, and The Office all aired back to back on the same night

@arenberg I hope packed TV nights appear again!

Choosing a travel backpack is really hard, and I still haven't found one I love, so mostly for my own reference I wrote a long post with thoughts on pretty much every travel backpack out there https://christianselig.com/2024/04/choosing-a-backpack-is-hard/

If you have other recommendations gimme

@zef Dang, what a cool site, had no idea this existed! Wish they sold X-Pac material

@totzek That's a nice one, love the weight. Wish it was bigger though (35-40L) and had stowable straps

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@marcmagnin That's a slick looking bag, but on the heavier side compared to most and no stowable backpack straps :(

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@thatsthequy Dang, cool bag but that's heavier than every single bag on my list ;_;

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@knG333 That's a really cool one, didn't know it existed. Quite heavy though and width exceeds a lot of airlinesโ€™ carry-on requirements

@brandtkurowski Lemme know what you land on!

@Mike_Enos Dang there really is an XKCD for everything

@sankara If you do the every day bag right it works pretty well. I can shove a super minimal Aer Go Pack 2 in my Osprey and it takes up next to no room, but is a nice go bag at the destination with some padding for a laptop

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@jwleblan That's a pretty clever system. It's a bit too bulky/complex for what Iโ€™m looking for though, and I really like having the stowable straps

@azizbawany I mention them in the post! Looks super functional, just not my personal style

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@chasehainey 25L is a bit small for travelling for over a week unfortunately. I do mention their X-Air in the post though

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@eiiot That would be a lot of work that maybe I will do but am not really looking to committing to at the moment haha

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@NotGoret @lokan I wish there were more videos of this! Looks like a spiffy bag, just scant on details. Not a super big fan of how it opens though, wish it opened all the way like a true clamshell

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@ObsoleteGinger I just wish there was more info on it, none of their videos really even show the main compartment, strange marketing

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@NotGoret @lokan They're super cool looking bags but I just wish they did a normal opening haha. Seems you're stuck between either a roll top or a half clamshell

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@ObsoleteGinger Oh okay that makes sense. I might take you up on that as I delve deeper, thank ya!

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@ents Ooooooo

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@lokan @NotGoret Cheers, great reviews!

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@joshwayne It's mostly just easy access, I like to be able to grab the laptop quickly at the airport to watch something or get some work done, but I'm not often grabbing t-shirts or something
