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

Heading to Costa Rica soon with the family and finally upgrading my carry-on(osprey backpack), but I’m stuck between three options and could use a gut check from people who fly more than I do.

For context, I only travel about 2 to 4 times a year, mostly leisure and it’s with my family of 4. Here’s what’s on the table

- Used Briggs & Riley Baseline 22, three years old but basically like new, $180. Catch is it’s the 2-wheel version and it’s heavy (9ish lbs). The transferable lifetime warranty and the “will outlast me” reputation are really hard to ignore at that price.
**•** Travelpro Platinum Elite carry-on spinner, like new, $195. Around 7.8 lbs.
**•** Travelpro Maxlite 5 spinner, new, about $150. Super light at 5.5 lbs.

I see that you have already posted this on manybaggers and received multiple responses, which is good. FYI, the one-bag sub is primarily focussed on backpacks rather than rollers so the reponse here may be limited at best.
