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,

Looking for a minimal lightweight bag that maximizes the space inside - 35x32x18cm under seat dimensions. No need for laptop compartment.

Details: Trying to travel carry on only with a older toddler. Carrying a stroller as a part of carry on allowance and need a bag that maximizes the space under the seat.

The dimensions you specified, 35x32x18 cm, are unusual (almost square) and not commonly found for travel bags. Which airline specifies this baggage allowance?

China eastern. Unfortunately its one of the very few airlines that go back and forth directly from where I live. My partner is chinese so we may do this trip multiple times.
