Hi, my wife is doing a course in another city and I'd like to get a backpack for her - she stays over so needs clothes and supplies (she usually takes a drink and a bit of food too) but also ideally it'd have a compartment where she could store her A4 artwork and notes, as well as some of her art tools? Ideally around 30L because her current one is 21L and too small.

Something comfortable and not too heavy ideally as well because she has to talk around with it for miles each day. Probably asking a lot but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions please? Thanks :)

Edit: I'm in the UK, budget would ideally be no more than £50, but happy to spend extra if it's worth it (up to £100)

I usually fly budget airlines where the personal item is the only bag included for free, so having a bag designed to fit under the seat sounds better than trying to squeeze down a 35L pack. Matador’s 18L Personal Item Travel Pack is built for that, with the 30L Carry-On Travel Pack as the next size up. For week-long trips, can you realistically get by with the 18L, or is it better to pay the carry-on fee and go with the 30L?

I am looking for a good EDC backpack that will last a long time, is available in black and that i can buy in Singapore. I carry a laptop, gym shorts, t-shirt and barefoot gym shoes, a small pouch with tech accessories, a large metal water bottle and a small umbrella (that i would like to keep on the outside of the backpack). My friend has an Able Carry Max EDC 26L and has recommended it, although I don't like the way it looks. I like the design of Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC but it's not very comfortable on my back or shoulders.

What are some other backpacks I should try?

I’m looking for recommendations for an ultralight backpack that can hold a laptop, a water bottle, and a few small items. I want to use it as a secondary backpack for travel. I currently use a 25L EDC backpack for traveling, but it’s a bit heavy for when I want to venture out to a café to work or just go sightseeing. I’m looking for something ultralight and thin that won’t take up much space in my luggage. Don’t need much protection. Any one have any recommendations?

Requirements:
15L higher is fine if light weight
Around 1lb ish
Water bottle holder
Laptop sleeve or strap
Semi flex material to squish in suit case

Planning on doing some traveling soon and need something that's durable, strong with lots of space. I like how the front and side pockets are detached. The front pouch can be used for a durable fanny pack/shoulder bag!

Looking for a LARGE school bag that will also be used for weekend trips. I carry a big lunchpail, clothes, etc to school so I need a big backpack, no I can’t slim down don’t ask. 

I’m realizing my old Roots backpack is probably close to 40L and I’m used to it so when I say large I mean NO LESS than 30L and that ~35L is probably better honestly.

I want multiple compartments not a black hole or one of the “travel” bags that need packing cubes cause its one giant clamshell square. Also do not care for/need clamshell opening, I want a backpack not a suitcase backpack. 

Requirements:   

• Laptop slot (most have this I know)
• Multiple compartments: main, secondary main, and a few smaller ones
• At LEAST 30L, ~35L+ probably better
• Stands up on its own/on bottom
• Good quality. I know everyone says Jansport for bigger school bags but they FEEL so cheap and the zippers get stuck
• Under $200 canadian
• Waterproofish
• Not ugly
  • Not super hiking looking
  • I would rather depth than super tall
  • Preferably in a green or brown colour scheme
• Sunglasses/small shallow pocket? (Not a dealbreaker)

Does anyone know anything about L L Bean bags recently? Are they good quality? I’m looking at this one but can’t really find reviews: comfort carry laptop pack 32L

Just got a 14” laptop and it doesn’t quite fit in my fave EDC (Greenroom metromonger). Wonder if anyone has a suggestion for me…. Here’s what I’m after:

volume: 12-13L ? Current bag is 10, but I figure I need to step it up slightly if I want to fit the laptop and still have space to force the occasional hoodie in there. But still really trying to keep it minimal.

shape/style: over the shoulder. Not a fan of true messenger bags though — prefer something more square and structured, with a full zip closure.

aesthetic: dark colors. technical without being overly complex. A lot of tech/tactical stuff just has way too many straps and pockets, which all leads to bulk. I want something that will collapse into a carry on suitcase for travel. But I do want to access pockets from the outside, and some other D-rings or webbing will get used if they’re there.

I also just think that travel style bags are unnecessarily bland. Tom bihn always comes up because they have some well designed smaller bags, but again the aesthetic is a bit plain. No shade, but my mom has Tom bihn.

Other feature requirements:

• a handle, so I can carry it like a briefcase.
• sleeve for 14” laptop. Should be well padded on the bottom edge, but otherwise not too bulky
• (bonus points for luggage passthrough)

trying to identify, might be the wrong group butttt worth a shot!

With Mission Workshop (MW) and Tumi as my workhorse gear and MW, Ornot + Lululemon as clothes horses, just finished One Year, One Bag and starting another year with a smaller bag... MW Control EPX in first pic (Year One), brand new (early, August, edition) MW Rhake LS Ultra in second...

I have been using PinqPonq's backpacks for years, but lately I need a more compartmentalized option that accommodates a 15-inch laptop for daily use. I appreciate the sleek design of the Kubik and Kross, so any comparable suggestions would be welcome.

Rucksack für petit Girls

Hey, dieser Post richtet sich vor allem an kleine Frauen. Ich fang jetzt ein Studium an und bin auf der Suche nach einem Rucksack, der zu meinem Körper passt. Ich bin nur 1,50 m groß und die meisten Rucksäcke erschlagen mich einfach! Manche sehen auf meinem Rücken aus wie ein Schildkrötenpanzer. 💀

Ich hab schon den Bergen Pro ausprobiert, weil er von den Maßen her eigentlich ideal war. Durch seine sehr kantige Form sieht er auf meinem Rücken aber trotzdem extrem klobig aus. Ich hab echt schon stundenlang recherchiert und bin langsam lost. Was kann ich denn bitte kaufen?

Folgendes werde ich mitnehmen: mein MacBook Air mit 13 Zoll, eine Trinkflasche, Snacks, vielleicht eine Powerbank und Kleinkram wie Schlüssel, Kopfhörer, Taschentücher und Make-up, also alles, was man halt so braucht. Vielleicht auch mal einen Ordner und Ladekabel.

Hat jemand von euch einen Tipp für einen Rucksack, der nicht komplett over the top aussieht, wenn man so klein ist? Ich bin für jeden Vorschlag dankbar!

Hola!, llevo un tiempo buscando una mochila para llevar a la universidad que no sea estilo militar, enrollable o 180°

Tengo un portátil de 16" (ese es el mayor problema buscando mochilas) y llevo 2 termos (un portabotellas a cada lado)

Un ipad 11" y suelo llevar una carpeta fina con un par de folios y el estuche y calculadora

Suelo llevar cargadores para el movil, el portátil y el ratón

También necesito unos bolsillos para el ID, llaves, snacks, neceser, paraguas y demás

Busco una mochila que reparta bien el peso y mínimo sea resistente al agua para que no se moje todo si llueve, también que no tenga bolsillos de botellas con malla porque suele romperse muy fácil con el uso

Estoy entre North Face Router o Osprey Quasar Driftshade

El Router no me convence la unión de las tiras, las tiras se ven muy resistentes pero sólo están unidas por un elástico

El Quasar Driftshade la IA me ha dicho que puede que no entre para las dimensiones de mi portátil ya que es muy ancho y en la descripción dicen que sirve para la mayoría de 16", también he visto que tiene bolsillo de malla pero también que tiene garantía de 30 años

Si sabéis de algun otro modelo os lo agradecería :)

I’ve been scouring the internet for an affordable backpack with this vibe under 200$ CAD. Would anyone have any recs?

I just want an everyday bag that doesn’t kill my back but also looks neutral and casual. First pic is what I’d love and the other pics are vibe inspo but as a backpack instead of crossbody! So far I’m leaning towards MAH 3 way bag but I’d really prefer something that looks a bit less structured while still being supportive + as little branding as possible. The MAH bag isn’t my dream bag but I’d settle for it haha

I bought a Black voyage Zepher Pro. When I opened the box, I noticed that the Velcro at the top of the back was covered with a protective film, and the Velcro was sewn onto the body along with the film. Do you think I'll be able to peel this off without any trouble?

I am looking for a light weight durable backpack that can carry a 16inch laptop along with one formal suit and a 1 l bottle. Thats the base requirement. Additionally would prefer if its water resistant and another good to have feature would be capacity around 30 to 35l

Budget is around 5k
