I love how you find the most creative ways to show the timing on each segment, this go around the box around the names. Love it!

[greatstarcagape]

Aer Travel Small 3 x-pac has been my go to for over a year now as my everyday and travel and its safe to say that it’s a reliable pack! I like the load lifters, lots of carabiner holder and the secret pockets

[lepraik]

The Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L is worth a mention as it is perfect for city travel and digital nomads.

[jordibarguno]

For work, the Knack Pack Medium Series 1 is amazing. You leave your packing cubes in the hotel and you have a perfect size back pack for the office. I prefer the layout of the series 1 and 35 L is the sweet spot for 1 week to 10 days of travel.

[CheeseballQuartet]

Finally a travel back roundup video that doesn’t list Peak Design! I don’t like that bag so I dig it haha

[sglatitude]

0:45 I'm still rocking the 28L as my everyday work backpack, and man, it's loaded with about 8kg of stuff. It's heavy AF, but those thick, comfy shoulder straps really make it easier to carry around.

[wasmadeinthes]

Great list as always, Aaron and team. My go-to wasn't on the list, that being the Knack Convertible Duffle (Which makes sense with this being a backpack list and all). Absolutely love it, 24 liter mode holds all my tech and about 4 days worth of clothes for an extending weekend, 40 liter mode holds more than enough for several 3-4 week trips I've taken both in the States and abroad as long as you're willing to do a load of laundry. Love how clean it looks with the straps stowed away and haven't had any issues with it on any airline I've traveled on, even the super strict ones.

Today I bought the Wandrd Transit Travel Backpack 35 L and i am so excited to get it soon. Thank you for your very cool and informativ video reviews.

[andrei]

In my opinion peak design is the best, I really was impressed of capability that backpack, it seems like made from rubber and doesn’t have limit at all

[joejoeshabadoo]

I loved the outro tip section for long term travel! Did you post a video about this topic in the past? Or is there a convo in one of your podcasts where you talk about what you’ve learned so far?

[bsciprian]

No Peak Design Travel Backpack 30l or 45l?

Great round up

I think you are one of the only ones who doesn't tend to spam with evergoods bags.
Which I don't find to have a comfortable enough strap system to carry heavier packs.

I think I would use my goruck long range Rucker now.

[paraagshah]

A wonderful, crisp review of all the options for travel bags. Thanks Aaron. However, would have liked to see the Evergoods CTB 26/35 as well in this list.

However, most of these bags are of limited use for traveling in Asia if one doesn't want to check in their bag. The weight limit of 7 kg for a carry-on would preclude traveling with one, especially the Tortuga.

Thanks for all the reminders (again). Who would have thought that you would include the link to the review for each bag "in the description below"? 😂😂😂

[nmatheis]

I'm most interested in Knack, Pakt, and Tomtoc. Knack for dual use as a day & travel bag. Pakt because I've heard so many good things about this bag. Tomtoc because it's super high bang for buck (even though they exaggerate the capacity, lol).

[itsmattaitken]

'Okay stop, nobody was clapping' haha

[jankavalir]

I literally live on the road, and I can't imagine to travel with backpack bigger and heavier than 30L. Those people with huge backpacks on their back, that's a different breed :D At first it looks so bad, second the weight is impossible to carry, it is a hell to open a get out something, they are also so annoying wearing those in public transport, or trying to fit their crazy bag to overhead bin, even it will clearly not fit... I don't get why those people just don't go for the suitcase/backpack combo :) super stuffed 40-50-60 L backpack looks kind of hilarious on everyone. Also there is an art to carry backpack and not look like a cheap ass backpacker. Since all suitcase people, businessmen at the airports, staff in better hotels look down at backpackers :) So many of those conditions and much more I found are only possible with Able Carry Max. Looks so perfect in every aspect with high quality materials, not that boxy ugly style or as outdoor backpacks with thousand pockets everywhere. Just only downside - the tech compartment is overly big and stiff and takes unnecessary space. I have no idea what I should do with the backpack during normal car/bus/train/boat/plane travel in order to damage the Macbook inside the backpack. Actually when it is so thick, it press the keyboard to the display so heavily that it make scratches / permanent marks on the display. Also very happy there is no water bottle pocket that will ruin the perfect look. It is the weirdest thing to me ever. There is 7-Eleven with water every 50 meters everywhere. Who is carrying those huge ass bottles, why? Who are those people? Lol. This low key pocket on Max is perfect to store umbrella. If someone plans to spend 5 days in the jungle, they definitely don't travel with city / commuter or computer backpack. :DD Also since the Able Carry is kind of niche brand, you will not meet anyone with the same pack. Nobody knows what is this brand. Brilliant. (on the other side 6 of 10 woman wears some kind of the LV bag, they look like brainwashed army haha)

Do you have a video for good bags for the city? I like that expandable bag you mentioned but I’d like to see more options. I bought the tortuga bag 40L because of this vid but would like something for the city when I travel

[SchroederUSMC]

Hello Arron, thank you for the video. I am very interested in durability. I am former military and have had experience with 5.11 and Goruck bags, are these comparable? I don't think I need the Molle straps anymore, but do they add to durability?

[KelvinHew]

You are missing out on the CTB26 dude 😂 It was Danny who made my decision so much easier

[BoricuaFez]

Medium Expandable Knack Pack Series 2 reminded me of the Nomatic Back/Travel pack but it really got my attention as a one and all for all my daily and travel needs.
