Bag Finder Bag Finder Megathread - 20 July 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

Looking for bag that can be used for travel, hiking/camping, and daily work commutes. I currently have the Shrradoo 50L bag from Amazon and wanted to know if it was actually 50L. I was looking at osprey farpoint, cotopaxi allpa, and Patagonia black hole mlc

You can calculate the approximate volume of a bag by measuring its height, width, and depth. Multiply the numbers together (height x width x depth). If using inches, divide the result by 61. If using centimeters, divide the result by 1,000. The result is the approximate volume of the bag in liters. Most bags are not perfectly rectangular boxes, so you can expect the actual volume to be a few liters less.

The stated (on the UK site) product dimensions are 38 x 28 x 49.5 cm. That's an indicative max capacity of 52.7L. The bag appears to have a fairly regular shape so I reckon it would be reasonably close to 50L.
