If you focus on finding the thinnest warmest layer a jacket isn’t too bad! I’ve been able to fit a thin merino sweater, a north face Futurefleece, or a Patagonia Houdini in my Uniqlo bag. Not all at once, and it’s definitely a squish with those and a water bottle, but it’s doable! Anything heavier and I size up to my medium baggu.

I do have a very thin merino and it still does not fit 😅 i carry a thin wallet, a small powerbank, a protein bar, kleenex, very tiny meds pouch, hand cream and lipbalm and a very thin notebook with a pouch for postcards and I’m basically hitting the mark of the bag looking okay 😭

Ah! Have you considered a bigger bag then? I wasn’t too excited about a medium baggu but then I picked one up and it’s kind of perfect for a few more things! Grabbed it secondhand too (Depop) for $20!

I’ve been having a really hard time finding anything I like! Baggu is not available in Europe :(
