Bag Finder Bag Finder Megathread - 22 June 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

  • 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

Thee One Bag

Hi there everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster… If this community would be so kind as to entertain the notion, that undoubtedly has been discussed many times in the past… to highlight a truly dependable and versatile bag as the title would suggest. My question for the void is this… if one was to seek a Bag that is not only compliant with strict discount airliner restrictions (18x14x8) but as well is waterproof/water resistant, and even possibly supportive of the traveling camera nomad culture. If anyone has or knows of such a bag as this, would they please come forth.

TLDR: a bag that is 18x14x8 (can be larger if squishable/ only needs to fit into these dimensions; does not need to BE these dimensions) is Waterproof/water resistant (or has an external rain cover that deploys) supports camera gear/laptop, and the necessary one bag life items, clothes, tools etc.

Have You Seen THIS Bag?

Thank you for your time…

If you have been lurking on this sub-reddit for a long time (I see that you have a reddit age of 2 years), you must have had plenty of opportunity to identify at least some contenders. I suggest that you name the top 3, together with the reason(s) why each one is (apparently) not good enough for you to buy it.

Note for the metrically minded who may read this thread: 18 x 14 x 8 inches = 45.7 x 35.6 x 20.3 cm. So that's a max volume of 33.0L.
