- In this video we will be discussing what I think are the 10 of the best carry on backpacks for one bag travel in 2022. It was tough to narrow this down with so many great travel bags on the market, but ultimately I focused on the bags that I have used most regularly and that meet the criteria for what I look for in a minimalist travel bag.
Preferred Travel Backpack Features
-30-40L Capacity
-Clamshell Opening
-Padded and Breathable Harness System
-External Water Bottle Pocket
-Padded and Suspended Laptop Sleeve
-Weather resistant and durable materials
-Removable Waist Belt
What are the ideal features in your travel backpack? Any options I should have featured on this list?

Great video Danny... I definitely agree with you about the Nomatic Travel Bag and travel backpack. Also, AER travel pack 2. I need the dedicated shoe compartment. 👏👏
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! Still bummed about the loss of the shoe compartment on the new travel pack
I’m a long time follower and love your channel. I would definitely watch if you ever decided to review the one wheel pint you got in the background :)
Thank you for watching and for the support!! And that’s a great idea, I believe a newer version may been released but would definitely be interested I sharing some thoughts on the overall experience I’ve had with it!:)
Great overview! As someone who has done a bit of traveling, I think it's impossible to find a hostel without seeing at least one Farpoint and the OG, the Porter 46. At least pre-Covid... maybe everyone is now a minimalist :)
Thank you for watching and I agree, I still see those everywhere I travel!
I have a farpoint 😂 it's one of the cheaper options but still has excellent features
Hey Danny, big fan of your videos. Can you make a video on your favorite personal item size bags for under the seat on flights? Would love to see what worked well for you.
Thank you for watching and for the support! That’s a great idea for a video and definitely on my list to hopefully get to in the next month or two!:)
@@dannypacks I'd really like to see this too!
Loved the video mate! Do you know of any bags that can accommodate a smaller daypack to use as my personal item on the plane as well? I hate wearing two backpacks through the airport but I can’t do only one bag so do you know of any systems that can lash a smaller bag onto the bigger carry on bag?
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! The primary ones that I’ve had experience with are the Osprey Ozone Duplex 65 (it has a duffel style bag that attaches to a daypack) and topo designs travel pack (they have a clip system that allows you to attach one of their daypacks to the travel bag). I believe Osprey has a few other options that allow you to attach a smaller bag and db journey has a little bit of a different system but might still be worth checking out
I think one type of backpack I see that is missing from many of this list is the company ROARK. They have difference travel bags from 27L to 80L. I look forward to hear more video reviews. :) thanks
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I’ve seen some of the Roark ads and their bags looks really interesting, I’ll have to try to get some to feature on the channel :)
Great video! what would be your pick between the CTB35 and the AER Travel pack 3?
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! I like the water bottle pockets and top quick access on the CTB a bit more, overall I prefer the aer travel pack 3 as I find the harness to be a little more comfortable for my preferences, I like some of the additional organizational options, and how the laptop compartment is implemented
great content... I'm personally torn between the knack series 2 medium and the nomatic travel pack. which would u pick between the two?
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! I find the nomatic a bit more comfortable and durable but i prefer the aesthetic and organization on the knack so that’s the one I use more regularly
Great review,which ever bag you used for travel, just wondering if bringing home souvenirs where to put them if you are pack out
Thank you for watching and good question! In general I don’t really buy too many souvenirs, but I will typically have a small packable day bag or tote with me that I can bring on as my personal item if needed (with some of the larger bags on this list I might have leftover space in the bag itself for smaller items as well)
Great as always. I have the CTB35 and the Bellroy Transit Plus and love them. The only issue with the CTB35 is the weight. I think it is a bit heavy. I wonder if you can review the Eagle Creek Tour Travel Pack as it is a little lighter.
Thank you for watching and for the support! Good suggestion on the tour travel pack, I’ll have to see if I can check. It out!
@@dannypacks I would love to see a lightweight carry-on backpack roundup for those of us who really dislike heavy bags
Standard Luggage Co Travel Backpack has great aesthetics!
Thank you for watching and I agree, the bag doesn’t look bad at all, just seems more basic or functional vs some of the more modern looking bags on the list :)
Thanks for the great information. I’m currently torn between the Tortuga Outbreaker 35 and Aer Travel Pack 3 in regular and small versions in X-Pac. Which would you go with for overall design and long term durability as a carryon or possibly even squeezing as a personal item?
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! I think both will be a bit of a challenge to use as a personal item (even the small version). Although I find the outbreaker slightly more comfortable, overall I prefer the travel pack 3 due to its organizational layout and the clamshell opening that it has vs the suitcase style of the outbreaker
@@dannypacks thank you for the reply! I like the Outbreaker a lot as well but feel like the overall quality of the Aer pack 3 is better. The X-PAC VX42 of the Aer appears sturdier and less shiny than the VX21 of the Tortuga. I ultimately decided on the full size under the premise if neither bag truly fit the personal item dimensions I’d press my luck with more capacity. With the bags side by side, there isn’t a significant difference in visual size to draw attention to the full size over the large. I just returned from a trip using the full-size as a personal item and it “fit” under the seat and I was never questioned about it.
CTB35 is my fave! Love all the quick access pockets on the outside, and the water bottle pockets are deep and work well! I usually use the water bottle pockets as "lazy access" pockets when I want to throw random things in them without having to unzip anything, such as straws, napkins, umbrella, and (of course) water bottles. For that reason, I personally dislike Aer’s travel bags. I find their water bottle pockets to be poorly designed... things just slip out of them so easily. For some reason, they can create a really nice water bottle pocket in their Go pack, but the pockets in their Capsule & Travel packs suck.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience with the bags! Great point on the water bottle pockets on the CTB, definitely some of the best on the market!
@Kao Chao, I thought I was alone here as I don’t see many complain about AEFSF travel pack water bottle which I use so much for water and other organization packs for quick access or tripod. And this probably their weak link. Meanwhile, CTB35 does it so well that I tried putting in a 64oz water bottle and it fit. Ate into the bag and takes a little work but most packs can’t even fit a 32oz water bottle.
Wow! This video is a great one! I travel (I drive though) a lot for work, about 2 to 3 out of 4 weeks per month and I was looking for a great travel backpack. I also would like to use one for flying (for vacations). I have tough choices to make. Any recommendations based on what I've mentioned to you would be awesome. I do need water bottle pockets and pockets/compartments for all of my toiletries. Thanks in advance. 😃
Thank you for watching and there’s definitely some good options here that would offer the features you are looking for such as the aer, tortuga, and evergoods bags :)
@@dannypacks Thanks so much!
I have a North Face pack for EDC to include a lap top. For int'l travel I got a larger bag..Osprey..that I used on a trip to the EU
Thank you for watching and sounds like you have a pretty good set up!:)
No Peak Design? I agree. Must be tough to choose, but great choices!
Thank you for watching and definitely tough to narrow it down! The peak design travel pack has a ton of awesome features and is well built but I ultimately left it off due to the harness system which I have never been a fan of
Hi Danny! Greet video! My favourite in this video is tortuga, but its a little bit big for my travel. Can you give me some advice for 40x20x25 cm (15,7x7,8x9,8 inch) backpack? Thank you so much!
And if its as comfortable as the tortuga, thats plus point 😊
For me.... 35 litres or less, with zip-away or hide-away backpack straps so I can also carry the bag like a duffel bag with one shoulder strap if I wish. I had larger MEI Voyageur and a Torguga that did that for me.... But I was always made to check my bag. And I'm getting older . 70 years old. So I've gone smaller.
Now, both my 35 litre Minaal Carry On 2.0 and my 21 litre Minaal Daily fullfill that requirement for me. Zip away or hideaway backpack straps and ability to carry like a duffel bag, and small enough to carry on, and lighter weight.
I almost always use only my Minaal Daily and an Osprey cross body sling bag now. Carry on only.
Just got back from 12 days in Switzerland and Austria with the Nomatic. It was very good although I needed another smaller backpack.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the bag worked well for your trip!:)
I've settled on the Dakine Split Adventure 38L. I loved my Cotopaxi but this Dakine bag was a better value for money and has all the features I needed.
Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy using the bag a lot! Really like the layout on that one!
I think that the peak design 45 travel backpack should have been in your selection 😉
Thank you for watching and that’s definitely a compelling option! The peak design bag has a lot of interesting features and a great build quality, for me since it’s such a big and heavy the harness system needs to be top notch and for my preferences it doesn’t match up to the other bags I had in the list, but for people who like the peak design harness I can see this being a top choice for sure!
@@dannypacks, agree with you.
My PD is hidden somewhere as it’s heavy and the harness system failed. It’s surprising as they pay attention to details but I guess when it comes to backpacks, comfort is most important and they failed here, at least with my experience. And the black is a dirt magnet. Of all the quality bags collection (most on your list here) here and I use many, this one has to be cleaned often to the point, I just put it away as my museum collection! 😂
The Heimplanet 34l v2 has been my travel and EDC. Professional for work but also you can take around town or on travels. It’s soft, quality materials, good enough harness system without being over built, lighter than most at 34l, great organization, and can fit more than I expected. Definitely exceeded my expectations and am surprised it’s not mention as much as say AERSF Travel Pack 1/2/3 or as others on this list.
I’m curious to see their v3 and what else they can improve more on.
Thanks so much for these reviews! Can anyone recommend an EDC backpack w/laptop compartment that will be good in a rainy environment? I'm moving to a place where it rains often, and will be out and about on public transit. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the videos have been helpful! Definitely some good weather resistant laptop bags to check out, a few that come to mind are the Arcteryx Granville 16, black ember citadel or shadow pack, Aer City pack or city pack pro (especially in xpac) and then there’s bags like the timbuk2 lane commuter that are pretty weather resistant but also include a rain cover for additional peace of mind
I went with Aer Travel 3, tried the Goruck GR2 nice bag but get too warm on my back.
Thank you for watching and great choice! I definitely like the added breathability on the Aer!
Any of them 3 way/convertible bags ( having a separate shoulder strap )?
Thank you for watching! The Tom Bihn techonaught I believe offers that functionality (although you may have to purchase the shoulder strap separately) and maybe the osprey farpoint
Danny, if you buy have to buy one backpack , what’s the 35L travel backpack would you buy for international travel under $500 ?
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! My go to is still the Aer travel pack 3 followed closely by the evergoods CtB35 and the Pakt V2 travel backpack
How would you rank the harness systems under heavy load? Those of us with back issues want to know 😆
Thank you for watching and good question! The most comfortable imo are the tortuga outbreaker and the osprey farpoint followed by the aer travel pack, the Evergoods CTB35 and the Arcido Akra
Cotopaxi Alpa 35L 👍
Thank you for watching and definitely another solid one bag option!:)
Its a brand many may not be familiar with as its a military/law enforcement brand but the Viktos 40 is the best large backpack on the market.
Looks ok in the black
Danny, if you were leaving to travel from the US to Europe, which travel bag would you be using (not for review purposes, your actual choice/preference). Why did you pick that bag?
Thank you for watching and good question! Although I could use any of these for that type of trip, the ones I tend to default to the most (primarily because I have travelled with them the most so I just have to think a little less about how I organize)are: the aer travel pack 3 (due to the look, harness, pocket layout and size) and if I need a little more space I would probably lean towards the tortuga 40l travel backpack (which wasn’t released when I made this video but I really like the simpler layout and harness on that one) or the nomatic 40l duffel which also just gives me a bit more space, it’s really rugged and I like some of the additional compartments it has
@@dannypacks thanks. I ended up buying the aer travel pack 3 in xpac and the go bag 2 for when I get to my destination
16:40 You can tell someone has traveled a lot, when they've noticed boarding agent stink eye for having a onebag with an excess of straps and waist belt, bottle slots and compression straps, and spider webbing for holding a rain jacket or fleece. Yeah boarding with a low-key minimalist design goes smoother ad probably gets us a pass in terms of being slightly overweight and slightly wider.
Thank you for watching and I agree the minimalist designs definitely feel like they help! So far I’ve been lucky with my carryon bags whenever I’ve been abroad
I have to disagree about the comfort of the bellRoy transit plus. I’ve had mine for about 2 years and I while I love the bag overall, I have found the shoulder straps so uncomfortable that I’m shopping around for a replacement.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience with the bag! I can see how the straps on that one are not for everyone and there are definitely lots of other comfortable options that will hopefully be a better fit
Thanks for the heads up. I looked at the bellroy, but comfortable straps are a premium for me. If it's something I'll be carrying for hours at time, I want it to be something that feels comfortable. If you found a bag that's particularly comfortable, id be interested to hear about it.
I bought the aer travel pack 3. The straps are way more comfortable. But overall, I like the layout on the bellRoy better. Can’t have it all I guess! That’s just me being picky though. Both are really nice bags.
Do you check in these bags? Airlines dont allow 15 kg as cabin baggage.
Thank you for watching! So far I have not had to check any of these bags, even tho they are over the weight limit when I wear them they are small enough that I haven’t been asked to weigh them fortunately.
What’s the bag on the wall on the far left?
Thank you for watching! If it is the bag on my left that is the tortuga setout laptop backpack and if it’s on your left as you are watching the video that would be the topo designs global briefcase 3 day :)
GR2 34L or Travel Pack 3?
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! Both bags are really great, the GR2 is going to be a little more durable and has some nice flexibility due to the molle webbing / ecosystem but I think the Aer is going to be a more well rounded bag for most people (I find it more comfortable, the laptop protection is a little better, there are more built in pockets, external water bottle pocket, etc)
Peak design 45 and 30lts
Thank you for watching! Those are solid options as well, I was particularly impressed how much the 30lts holds
Come on Danny which ones make up your top 3?
Thank you for watching and that is such a tough choice! Haha I would say it still depends alot on the situation but in general I have tended to default to the aer travel pack, goruck gr2, and recently the CTB, but when I’ve been traveling for longer the transit plus, nomatic 40L and the Matador SEG42 (which is more of a niche bag, but it has proven very versatile)
@@dannypacks for longer-term travel - I noticed you didn't pick the ones you complimented as having the most comfortable harness systems. Is that because you picked the sleeker ones for looks?
Anyone know of an international (35L+/-) carry-on pack that has a detachable smaller bag? I would like to be able to remove a small bag for wallet, phone/tablet and headphones, rather than holding up others while I remove those items from my main pack before tossing it in the overhead. It would be a real bonus if the detachable bag could also function as a small day pack or cross-body bag when I arrive at my destination!
Perhaps the Thule Landmark 60L? It's a 40L backpack with a detachable 20L daypack.
@@electrifyingrockstar Thanks! - I'll check it out!
Anyone know which is the most affordable? Thx!
Thank you for watching! The Arcido Akra has been on sale for as low as 120 usd, which is pretty tough to beat, the farpoint may also be in a slightly lower price range from the others
Arcido Akra or ... Osprey Ozone 46
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! Both would be great, for my preferences I would probably lean towards the Akra as I prefer the aesthetic and I really like it’s simplicity
Why not able carry max?
Thank you for watching! The only reason it wasn’t included is that I was focusing on bags over 30l (techonaut is 30l but they have a 45l version) which I typically use for longer trips, but I am a big fan of the able carry max and will definitely be including it in any top minimal travel bag or larger edc lists I do in the future :)
Are They Waterproof?
Thank you for watching! I would say the bags are weather resistant but not waterproof so water could seep in if there’s heavier rain (some of the fabrics on different bags like sailcloth / xpac will be more weather resistant and then there are options for additional covers that would be more protective)

Thank you for watching and for adding the time stamps!:)
Honestly don't understand why the goruck is on here... 99% of people don't need that kind of "toughness". $400 dollars for a bag that weighs almost 4lbs. Would like to see more hiking oriented bags that are actually lightweight.
Simply because the TH-camrs making these kind of videos get commissions per sale. They never review good quality affordable bags, promoting $400 dollar bags is more profitable. I would love to see video reviews of sub $100 bags!
Thank you for watching and definitely some fair points with regards to weight and cost. For me having the extra durability (especially when it’s the only bag I’ll have on a multi week trip with all my stuff) and the organization and aesthetic that I like is worth the premium but there are definitely some great options in lower price ranges that are lighter as well
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion to review some more affordable options! I try to feature some of those on the channel when I run into one that I find particularly good for the price, I recommend checking out some of the videos we’ve done for bags from Hynes Eagle, Inatek, Amazon basics and eBags. I’m sure there’s more I haven’t had a chance to test yet but I’ll be keeping an eye out!
@@dannypacks Hello Danny! I've watched the videos you mentioned, you are one of the few TH-camrs I've seen reviewing low budget backpacks. I didn't want to come across as rude but it is frustrating, 99% of backpack video reviews on TH-cam are about Aer, Goruck, Bellroy, Tom Bhin etc. I am simply tired of it, I refuse to pay over $100 for a backpack. You should take a look at the Underseat Pro backpack, it's $80, great value for the money. I follow BREAKAWAY ON A BUDGET channel on youtube, that's where I got to know the undreseat pro backpack. Keep on the good work!
