20L Travel Pack

Yeah I’ve done it multiple times now - and the biggest reason is I am more balanced if I have to pick them both up. I use a nomatic backpack or purse that’s easy to crossbody if I’m doing the two carryons. I have a 4 wheel travel pro as my primary carry on I use all the time. Then we have a variety

Here’s my problem with Nomatic on the travel pack side - similar to Peak Design in a sense. The most important thing by far for one bag travel is comfort. When you’re lugging that thing across airports and cities for miles it adds up, and so the more lightweight the better. Of the ones you listed I’

Weather resistant, good organization - Black Ember Citadel 20l I see it’s on sale this weekend. If you want tons of organization, the Nomatic Backpack is another great choice and comes in 2 sizes and 3 colors.

I think everyone here has already given some great options. Just to throw my two cents into the mix: Matador Globerider 35 might be perfect for you. Plenty of space, solid admin pocket, kangaroo pouch in the front for jackets/gym shoes. And one of the larger water bottle holders i’ve seen on a bag.

I’ve got the Nomatic Travel Pack 20L. Amazing backpack. Swallows anything I stuff into it. Amazing organisation. Great padding and weather protection. Comfortable to wear too. Oh and expands from 20l to 30l if needed.

Thanks for the info! The 26 seems like a good option, but given the Nomatic is technically 20l I wasn’t sure if the 26 or 30 would be too big. Does the 30 fit under a seat? The Nomatic just seems enormous for being 20L, especially since you’re saying the 26l fits under a seat even when stuffed full.

You could also check out the nomatic travel pack. It lacks slightly on the comfort side but i have traveled with it 10+ times for work and a few times for personal travel and it has always gotten the job done. It’s 20L and expands to 30L. Has insane amounts of organization if you like that as well.
