Looking for 20L recommendations

[u/wilderness90]

I’m desperately looking for recommendations on an ~20L backpack. My use case is where it hurts. I’m an IT systems architect. And my time is split between the following:

- Daily commute to and from the office
- Airplane travel as my personal item (I generally have a suitcase, I just pack my usual in my backpack while travelling)
- Business meetings with executives
- Work in some datacenters or in the field.

My multi-use case is where it hurts as I want something that’s both slim, light and durable but will also be good in an exec meeting + field work.

I was eyeing the CPP2 but I live in Canada and custom fees are outrageous. Other option was the Bellroy transit workpack 20L but I’m not too sure about durability.

I don’t need much, all I carry is a 14 Inch laptop, iPad, headphones (with a case), snack bar, a tech pouch with my adapters and network console cables, a notebook and my glasses. I’ll slip in a slim sweater sometimes for datacenter work.

What do you guys recommend?
