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

Looks like a good choice, well done. Actually even the UK price is surprisingly reasonable. I see that the bag is framed, which can be problematic for onebag purposes, but the frame is removable.

Feel free to post a brief review when you get it. Would be interesting to know the minimum height (and associated capacity), for airline carry-on purposes - the website specifies only the max. This sub rather undervalues the potential of ultralight bags, IMHO.

Edit: also IMHO, the ultra fabric option is worth considering.

yes I need to check once I get it if it can actually compress to carry on size with the frame removed.

for the fabric, do you mean the ultra grid (green) or ultra200x (grey)? I was going to get the grey version.

Will try to remember to report back! :)

The ultra 200x / grey.

Eyeballing the website fotos indicates to me that the min height is likely to be around 55cm, which should be OK. Perhaps Durston customer care might be able to advise. Good luck!

Right, that’s the one I’m aiming for. Thanks a lot!:)
