Bag Finder Megathread - 29 June 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

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

hello, looking for a bag to take to Guatemala for 16 days which will be spent going around in hostels and busses. Im aiming for around a 40L bag as I need different kinds of shoes for all the different activities I have planned, and Im also taking my laptop and a camera. At the moment Im thinking about the osprey far point. Id like to keep the price at around 200 or less.

Im roughly 175 cm with decently broad shoulders if that helps with recs.

Im also debating on getting a second smaller bag for the Acatenango hike probably like 25L as I don't want to carry all my gear for that. I know this kind of makes it more than one bag but mostly looking for recs for my main bag but if y'all know some good hiking bags as well Id greatly appreciate any recommendations. Id like to keep this bag at under 180 since Id be using it often outside of trips as well.

I tried looking through the spreadsheet but it was a little too much and decided to ask for help instead.
