Direct Action Gear Dragon Egg vs Wandrd Prvke

I know it’s not a “premium” brand, but for me the Direct Action Gear Dragon Egg II is my Goldilocks bag. It checks all the boxes you list, and it just works. I’ve carried that bag every day for several years now, and I can’t really find anything better.

Just be sure the camping gear is stuff you would be comfortable using. You might try the WANDRD PRVKE 41L or shimoda pack or a https://www.wandrd.com/products/fernweh (However at 50L there is a risk of having to check it)

This backpack is very well made, and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on deployment, except for the fact that it doesn't have very much room inside, and when you set it up for an overnight trip, that's about all it can handle. It's literally just a patrol pack and that's it. It can't hold nearly as much as a standard type 3 assault pack, so really unless you need nothing more than food, water, and a few odds and ends, you'll need a much bigger pack than this.

* As close to 55\*40\*23 cm as possible since this is intended as a carry on one bag travel bag. I usually bring a lot of crap, so it has to be quite big, but still be possible to carry on. * Preferably load lifters (I have a Wandrd Prvke 31 liters which I've been traveling with, and load lifters would've been great to have). * At least one pocket for a water bottle (preferably one that is easy accessible from the outside of the bag, but if there is an internal pocket that might suffice as well)

Here has a mesh pocket on the front that goes about 3/4 of the way down, and then you have a secondary pocket on the front sort of an admin pocket her...

so having a lot of large compartment really helps organize my gear and cloth. And I already have camera cube from Wandrd so transition is pretty smooth. 3. Wandrd Prvke 41L: Even though my 31L is showing its wear(the strap is getting weak, and maybe will tare off soon) I really dig the design

My laptop is older and it has a hard time fitting in the laptop pouch. If I load this think out with laptop, books, and some admin stuff, then it is really full. If I was getting on a plane and need to bring toiletries and other carry on items on top of it, I am not sure I could get it all to fit. I'm not sure I could bring all the admin things that lets say a Company Commander would need

WANDRD PRVKE 21L | It’s a different size this time, but the important features are still there.

The size is perfect for everyday carry but can easily accommodate all the gear I need for a weekend of travel or overnight hiking trip. The laser cut molle is athletically pleasing as well as lower profile than typical molle webbing so the bag doesn't scream tactical unless you start putting extra pouches everywhere. The updated elastic side pockets are perfect and stow away well leaving the pack looking very sleek when not loaded down. Everything seems very quality on this pack and attention to detail is obvious

I recently gave the Wandrd Prvke a trail run because I had heard good things, I hated it. My main turnoff of the Prvke is the roll top. I just can't do it. The comfort just isn't it either
