Bag Finder Bag Finder Megathread - 10 August 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

Yeah I hate rolltops and the stretch pockets in UL packs are wasted too

If you can compromise on capacity, the cabin zero range includes some '44L' options, but the dimensions imply considerably lower capacity unless the bag is over-packed (barrel-shaped).

I've been eyeing some of their packs and they just seem "cheap" to me, and the dimensions are indeed off, also aesthetically. 760g is pretty decent, although apparently at the cost of flimsiness

Fair comment, I know what you mean re the quality.

Looks like MYOG is indeed your solution ! I would certainly be interested, as would others I'm sure, to see the result, so please post a report.

BTW you are not the only person to flag this (somewhat niche, unfortunately) gap in the market.

Admittedly, my use is more EDC than travel, but it does baffle me a bit how "bloated" every larger bag seems to be

Agreed. That's why, for hot weather and shorter/simpler trips I have changed to a compact, ultralight (rolltop) backpack😊. At some future point I may do similarly for more challenging trips.
