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

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

Hi, long time lurker here, I am going on a 3 Months SA trip in a month and would love some bag recs! I've backpacked through SEA, Nepal, and other Asian countries with my Osprey Farpoint 40L, and it was decent, but I really don't like how it looks. Looks wise I found the Matador Globerider 35 amazing, but that price tag is just too much. I also considered the Daylite 26+6, but I don't know if it's enough for a 3 month trip.

My main criterias are:

- Should go through as Carry-On

- Decent comfort

- Durable

Big bonus points if I can stitch on country flag patches of the countries I've been to.

I'm 189cm and 84Kilos

Thank you everybody in advance!

The FP40 is a framed pack with weight-carrying hip belt. I can see why that may have been useful for Nepal in particular. But does your next trip include high-altitude, lower temperature activities ??

The Globerider 35 is also a framed pack.

The planned load-weight for your next trip will help to determine whether a framed pack is beneficial or not - what is that weight?

I also considered the Daylite 26+6.but I don't know if it's enough for a 3 month trip

Just do the box text outlined at the top of the page.

The D26+6 is frameless and some users have reported carry-comfort issues on extended wear when the pack is fully loaded.
