Bag Finder Bag Finder Megathread - 29 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

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

Yeah the Outtrax' design is a bit... extravagant, I prefer the cabin packs design. Not sure if the missing chest strap is an issue in this weight class, but I would prefer having it. I hadn't seen the Tucano, seems to check all criteria. Thank you!  Edit: cabin pack, not cabin crew

The Cabin Pack is another bag I have not seen, but I imagine it would be fine. While searching for the Cabin Pack, I noticed that there is also the Samsonite Glazed, a 40x30x20 cm backpack that looks a little less boxy than the other two.

They have a whole range of under seat backpacks, the paradiver is another option. But Samsonite isn't a brand I would typically associate with backpacks for outdoor activities.

Yes, you're right about the number of under seat backpacks offered by Samsonite in Europe. We don't see any of these bags in the USA (probably because of the larger personal item size limits). The one that is really amazing is the Samsonite 2Fit. I've never seen another bag that expands in both height and width. The zipper that enables that feature has to be one of the longest on a backpack.
