Would anyone have a recommendation for a decent traveling backpack? Or a reliable site to browse reviews? Taking a ~2 week trip and I intend to pick lightly. Thanks in advance!

I have a plastic bag from walmart

I love my Patagonia cragdaddy backpack. Little bit larger than a regular back pack, but I can still carry it as a personal item on flights. Opens up like a duffel bag. Wouldn't bring it to the client site though.

Perfect for leisure then. I usually bring it for work as well, and pack a low profile laptop bag in my carry-on.

Fanger is good. Flyer friendly, laptop section opens up, no need to remove laptops out of the bag during security screening

Oh it's the eagle creek load hauler. It's expandable and has good pockets and straps.

It will fit under. Sticks out a bit, but never had any trouble with it.

Thanks A1, an important detail I left out is that this is a leisure trip, appreciate the input!

This looks great!

@a1- does it fit under the seat or just in the overhead bin?

I've used my gossamer gear Mariposa 60 for both backpacking in the US and during a 2 week trip through a couple of countries in Europe. I've lent it to 2 different people who have gone on extended trips as well and they've all returned it, still in great shape, and all had good things to say about it :)
