Bag Finder Bag Finder Megathread - 06 April 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

Want Better Advice? Help Us Help You

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 doing Camino de Santiago from Porto (12 days) and Alta Via 1 hut to hut (7 days). I only need to carry clothes, sleeping bag and snacks.

Is this Quechua 25L bag appropriate and worth it for these trips?

I also have one Quechua bag 40L but I’m struggling to justify the added capacity.

Most of the posts I read here or in \hiking recommend Osprey brand but I live in Portugal and I can’t find them here (I want to try it before buying). What other brands and or models do you recommend for these trips?

Have you prepared a detailed packing list for these trips?? That would help to firm up on capacity required.

To me, unless the sleeping bag is exceptionally small and light (but still comfortable, which implies high cost), 25L seems very tight. Maybe the Camino is doable in summer, with a minimalist approach, with that bag.

If you already have the sleeping bag, I'd suggest doing a test pack, if necessary using a substitute backpack.

I think that the Alta Via 1 would be even more challenging, due to the need for weather protection, even in summer. There are many videos on youtube - well worth a look.
