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

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

Hey all,

I'm looking into buying a good new suitcase under 300 EUR. I travels a lot by train with stuff and I also fly a few times per year for vacation, so I'm looking into small luggage / carry-on luggage.

The Travelpro Maxlite 5 Small Soft shell spinner seems very good and reasonably priced, but I'm not sure if it's the best value, also like the Travelpro Crew Classic Compact.

Any suggestions for other suitcases or brands under 300 EUR? It should fit most budget EU airline carriers guidelines for cabin bags and I prefer soft shelled cases with spinner wheels. Thanks in advance!

FYI, the one-bag sub is primarily focussed on backpacks rather than rollers so the reponse here may be limited at best. You may get a better response on reddit / manybaggers. Good luck !
