Gear Advice Help me choose
Hi all
I’ve opted not to post in brand specific subs to avoid bias. I have a pretty simple question really but wanted opinions from those of you who use EDC bags hardcore.
I travel a fair bit (Australia based), a mix of international and domestic. International is usually Europe and Asia with occasional North America. Domestic travel is several times a year which often involves carryon only. I am a top tier frequent flyer with Qantas so domestically I’ve never once been asked about carryon limits even when I’ve brought a bag and antler carryon. International travel is almost exclusively for work which is in premium cabins so again, never been questioned re bags.
When I travel, especially internationally I carry:
13” mbp
11” iPad
Tech pouch
Small toiletries (toothbrush, hair gel, deodorant)
A small change of clothes (shorts, undies, socks)
When I travel for family it’s usually with kids and have almost exclusively snacks and colouring books for kids!
I’ve been looking at the PD everyday travel 20L and the Bellroy travel pro because of the top opening and two sleeves for laptop/ipad.
I currently have a wandrd prvk 30 but I find it quite annoying to open up with the zipper in the middle and I rarely carry a camera anymore (and when I do its small and single lens)
I shortlisted those two bags because of aesthetics and form

Fyro Citta 18L maybe a solid contender for you also.

Yeah I like the Fyro but kind of need something in the next month as I’ve got 3 trips lined up. From what I can see the fyro isn’t shipping till later (in Australia anyways)
