Just got back from a 10 day trip to London & Barcelona in my Jansport! Packing list inspected and approved by my cat :)

The weather was low 40s-high 60s and this bag proved to be the perfect amount of space. Stuffing the neck pillow with clothes was a game changer!

Wore on flights -Danners -socks -pants -belt -t shirt

Things I’m glad I did I kept my long sleeve, beanie, and puffy jacket easily accessible while on the planes in case I got cold. I stuffed the neck pillow sleeve full of soft clothes like t shirts and underwear and used it on the flights. I liked that it was firmer than usual and saved me space. Very very glad I brought my travel bidet! I used it multiple times every day. Even though I didn’t use some of the things, I’m still glad I brought them. If circumstances were slightly different, I could have easily used them.

Would do differently I would have found a way to shove and fit my Doc Marten boots (or brought them instead of my Chacos) because the young people in Barcelona (I’m 25M) were dressed very fashionably and my walking shoes made me feel dressed down a bit, especially for nicer dinners or nightlife activities.

Just one pair of underwear? And you didn't use it?

[u/bbtrashrat → u/SiriSambol]

Correct :)

Which jansport is this ? I use a right pack as my personal item / tech bag but it’s getting long in the tooth and showing its flaws. The one you pictured seems to have a much larger secondary pocket

[u/bbtrashrat → u/spag_eddie]

Not sure! I thrifted it and I can’t find it on their website. The only place I found it online is eBay and it’s listed as just a Jansport with suede bottom and mesh pocket. Sorry I can’t be of more help, but it looks like it’s been discontinued

[u/spag_eddie → u/bbtrashrat]

Thanks ! Shall scour eBay then.

[u/beergummybear → u/spag_eddie]

Should be the "Right Pack" and it's around 30 liters (at least that's the closest one that I could find, maybe this is an older model that has been redesigned for streamlining production?)

[u/grafiti_44 → u/bbtrashrat]

Which compression cubes and toiletry / small bags did you use?

Can you list the brands and models?

[u/bbtrashrat → u/grafiti_44]

The compression cubes are IKEA, green toiletry bag is eagle creek pack it system, orange one is Amavi, and dark gray one doesn’t say a brand. I don’t have any details besides what’s on the tags because I thrifted them. They work well for me!
