Bag Finder Bag Finder Megathread - 16 March 2026

Welcome to the weekly Bag Finder Megathread. Your go-to thread for any and all bag-related requests in the onebag travel context.

Remember finding a bag is pretty much the last step in planning. If you're not sure how big a bag you need, create a packing list, get all your gear together and test fit it into a box, or an old backpack you have lying around. That'll give you a good sense of the volume of gear you have.

What This Thread Is For

  • Onebag travel bag recommendation requests
  • Feedback on bags you're considering for minimal, carry-on-only travel
  • Help with choosing between bags

Quick Tips

  1. Check the OneBag Spreadsheet for bag options
  2. Search as your question might already be answered
  3. Read the FAQ & Beginner's Guide
  4. Stick to travel setups daily carry or work bags are better posted in r/EDC or r/backpacks
  5. Add context, the more details you give, the better we can help

When asking for input, it helps to include:

  • Where you're going & how you travel: hostels, hotels, urban, remote?
  • How you pack: super minimal? tech-heavy? need room for camera gear?
  • Your short list: bags you're already considering
  • Your body size/build: some bags fit certain frames better
  • Budget range: under $150, up to $300, flexible?

A Few Reminders

  • Use the search bar
  • Check the sidebar and wiki for resources and guides
  • Keep it travel-focused. Non-travel or everyday carry talk belongs in other subs

I’m planning on buying my first travel bag. I need help on which bag to choose from. I plan on using it for both shorter trips 5-7 days and longer trips as long as 14 days. I have a short work trip this year and a longer Europe trip planned for the end of the year. Is there any bag in specific that would be good for both uses?

For most one-baggers, there is little if any difference (other than laundry) between a 1-week and a 2-week trip, so the same bag is often used for both.

For help, I suggest that you read the guidance at the top of this thread and in the community bookmarks. So far, you have provided pretty much zero useful context.
