26-liter backpack that's designed with a protective 15" laptop sleeve and reflectivity for maximum visibility during low light commutes. Stands up on its own for easy access to gear. Top-loading main compartment for books and binder. Front three-quarter-zip compartment houses a padded and fleece-lined tablet sleeve, an organization panel with an ejector tab for easy access. Secure-zip hidden front pocket. Same indestructible water-resistant material that's used in other hyper-durable basecamp duffels

[This is a good review](https://packhacker.com/travel-gear/the-north-face/kaban-backpack/) of the older one. * 26L, large bucket opening, half clamshell 2nd pocket, water bottle holders on both sides and a 3rd external pocket for quick access. * Outside is made of same material as North Face Base Camp Duffels, so durable but not quite as ugly as the Patagonia black hole stuff

Hey Everyone,

My initial post (and quest for a business/travel one bag solution) can be seen below.

 [25-30L Clamshell Laptop Backpack That Can Be Used as an Everyday Carry and/or 2-3 Days Travel : onebag (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/rkw5nc/2530l_clamshell_laptop_backpack_that_can_be_used/) 

I've gone way down the rabbit hole of purchasing/returning/trialing a bunch of different backpacks that are under $150 (mostly $100 or less).  I still haven't been able to find the perfect match and wanted to reach back out to you wonderful folks for more suggestions and support in narrowing down this search even further.  I think I've narrowed down my criteria even moreso than initially.

Here's what I've already tried and my general thoughts (it's a long list, peeps):

*Samsonite Modern Utility Travel Backpack* \- My currently daily driver that I'm testing.  I mostly like this....and it has almost everything I need...but it's a bit heavy...and I can't fit as much in its clamshell opening.  

*Osprey Porter 30* \- I ALMOST love this bag...but those straight jacket compression straps are super inconvenient for business use.  I'm in and out of my bag every day while meeting with clients reaching for cables/cordsets/etc.  The non-removable straps of the Osprey Porter 30 make getting in/out of the bag very difficult.  

*eBags Pro Slim Weekender* \- This bag was too large.

*eBags Citylink Travel* \- I wanted to like this bag more, but it's just got too much going on.  Almost too much organization...and everything feels a bit too plasticky - especially the zippers.  Plus, there are compression straps that get in the way of the side zippers.  

*SwissGear Getaway Weekend* \- I found it too small to pack more than a days worth of clothes in it.  And, not that I'm surprised considering it's $50 price tag, but it definitely feels more cheaply made and like it won't last long-term.

*Matein Travel Backpack* \- Too large.  Too many straps.

*Bange Travel Backpack* \- Too many straps.  Feels way too cheap.  And it came folded in half and never regained its shape.

*Osprey Daylite Plus 26+6* \- I actually liked this one a lot because of its compact form...but it has terrible front pocket organization - and no separate laptop compartment area.  Otherwise, not bad.  It can fit quite a bit of stuff.

Whew.  That was a mouthful.  I've probably left off a bag or two, but those are the main ones I've trialed...and I'm still on the search for my optimal one bag solution.

So, here's my adjusted criteria now:

**Must Haves**

\- At least 25 liter capacity.  I don't want to get too large a pack because it needs to be an EDC, but it needs to be at least 25 liters to fit a few days of clothes (and gym items).

\- Compact form factor that is close-ish to a standard backpack and can be considered as a "personal item" on certain airlines.  Maybe the ability to expand and compress would be great so that I can slim it down when mainly using it as a business laptop EDC, but then being able to expand it when needing to use it for extended overnight stays.  I definitely don't want a larger pack that stays large (mainly in terms of depth) even when I only need it for simple use cases.

\- Clamshell opening - this gives me the most flexibility in case I want to use packing cubes or not and also allows me to pack easier, see everything at once, and even just open my bag and leave it opened at my hotel room.  I typically pack a pair of pants (khakis), 2 polo shirts, undershirt, boxers, socks, and workout clothes (shoes, shorts, shirt).  I'm actually slightly open to a standard opening instead of a clamshell...if everything else checks the boxes...but prefer clamshell if possible.

\- Front Pocket Organization and Easy Access - I will mainly use this as a business laptop backpack where I will occasionally pack for shorter business trips 2-3 days. For the most part, I need easy access to cables, cords, other hardware items when visiting clients (I'm a sales engineer). Also, easy access to the front pockets and laptop compartment is a must.  I've seen and tried out a pack or two with non-removable front straps that make easy access difficult.  

\- Reasonably Durable - I take this backpack on/off multiple times a day at a variety of random environments (outdoors, indoors, in dirty manufacturing plants, in standard offices, etc.).  It doesn't have to be military-grade durable like the GoRucks of the world, but just something that can handle non-office type environments.

\- Quality Zippers - I will be opening/closing the zippers a lot throughout a day.

\- Padded Straps and Back - Nothing crazy, but just enough to be comfortable when wearing for hours at a time.

&amp;#x200B;

**Nice to Haves**

\- Under $200.  I initially was looking for something under $100, but I'm willing to up my spending a little if there's something that's the correct fit.

\- Amazon Availability - This is the easiest way for me to try stuff out/send it back.  I'm open to other retail outlets, but they have to have a no-frills/no hassle return policy.  I really won't know if I've found the "right" bag until I get it in my hands and try it out.

\- Compression Straps - I'm open to this, but they cannot get in the way of accessing zippers and if they were removable/hidable, then that would be ideal.  I don't like bags that have a bunch of cords/straps hanging off them.  I guess it's fine if you're going hiking or going to be wearing the bag for hours/days on end, but I won't be doing that.  It'll mainly be worn for half hour periods during work days and maybe an hour or so during travel days.

\- Lightweight - As lightweight as possible would be preferred because I will be mainly using this with a laptop and a few other hardware items.  The Samsonite Modern Utility Travel backpack I use now is good, but it isn't the lightest in the world.  And it isn't the most comfortable.  I could see it being a hassle carrying it on my back when filled up with items.

\- Modern looking - Not a must, but it would be nice.  I like the look of the Bellroy Transit and the Knack Series of bags.

\- Side Handle - I doubt I'll use it in "briefcase" mode often, but this would be a nice value add feature.

\- Stowable Straps - This kind of goes in line with the point above.  If I'm carrying it as a "carry on" style bag or as a briefcase, then it'd be nice to tuck away the straps.  Some bags have this option as standard...and some don't.  Seems hit or miss.

\- Waterproof - I doubt I'll be using this to hike or in any scenario where I'll be traveling outside in inclement weather, but it'd be nice to have.

\- Lifetime Warranty - Every bag I've owned for work (mostly cheaper bags) have never last more than a few years before having zipper issues or getting a hole in them.  A lifetime warranty would give me a peace of mind.

So, there you have it.  A tremendously long and overly detailed post.  I'm still on the search for my ideal one-size-fits-all type bag, but I am opening the search and suggestions back up to the Reddit community for additional input. 

Help me out, Peeps!  I feel like I'm deep in the weeds...and need some practical input and suggestions from folks who've found their precious.

Still on the Hunt for a Business-First EDC with a Clamshell Opening for 2-3 Nights Travel

 The webbing is a little bit skinnier too,, which matches a bag of this size. You Really don't need a ton to keep that sternum strap on and intact on your chest. Moving Down, we have some nice Nifco strap adjusters, however there are not any elastic loops here to manage excess straps. The Back panel is pretty stiff, and there are some channels here for airflow,

 There's plenty of room in the main pockets to slide a couple packing cubes inside, and just be ready to go. Now, I Will say that this 26 liters feels a little bit smaller than what we've seen in other packs, most of which are clamshell, so that top bucket may have something to do with it. You Know,, it doesn't fully open up like we've seen in other bags, but it does feel a little smaller than other 26 liter packs. In The two weeks of testing, there's not a ton to cover on durability either

. (upbeat music) Kicking It off with the harness system, let's see what's going on for this 26 liter day pack.. The Straps themselves have a nice density to them

 But again,, just like the straps,, there is no mesh on the backside either. There's just a couple of nitpicks I have with this zipper. First of all,, it's hard to tell the zipper apart compared to the other two zippers in the top flap. Second, it's hard to get behind the fabric of the front pocket in order to get access to this zipper, it kind of just disappears behind that fabric well,, and there's not a big zipper pull to grab

The North Face Kaban Backpack Review | 26L Daypack For Laptop & Tech EDC

 In my opinion, it also has great laptop protection, so, if you're looking for a bag that has this type of a vibe, that's going to give you plenty of space and a lot of comfort and that's gon na be one of the best options that you can Take a look at with that being said: the caban backpack 2.0 holds up really well against all those bags and, if you're looking for a comfortable and durable bag, that's going to offer plenty of space and organizational options. This is going to be a good option to take a look at, and i'm definitely curious to hear what you all think of the updates that the north face has made to the caban backpack and how it compares to some of the other popular daily bags that We featured on the channel and if there are any similar options that you think i should check out as always. Please let me know in the comments - and i want to thank you for watching and supporting the channel and if you enjoyed this video, please give us a like and if you haven't already make sure to subscribe

 You can really pack out a lot of stuff. It still has some nice quick access, pockets, two external water bottle pockets and the harness system on the urban assault 24 is actually going to be a little bit more comfortable. In my opinion, it also has great laptop protection, so, if you're looking for a bag that has this type of a vibe, that's going to give you plenty of space and a lot of comfort and that's gon na be one of the best options that you can Take a look at with that being said: the caban backpack 2.0 holds up really well against all those bags and, if you're looking for a comfortable and durable bag, that's going to offer plenty of space and organizational options

 So with all that being said, let's go ahead and jump in starting off with the outside of the bag. I really like the overall aesthetic like the original kabon backpack. This definitely has a little bit more of a sleeker and modern vibe than a lot of north faces other bags, it's more minimal. It doesn't have as many straps or attachment points, so it feels a little bit more commuter and tech focused like it's going to work

Let's get into some bags. We're starting at number 10, working our way up to number One. Let's dive in

 We're starting at number 10, working our way up to number One. Let's dive in. [music] Kicking off with the 10th most popular bag according to you with a 75 approval rating, we have the Evergoods Civic half zip 22. this Daypack has a clean and polished look that keeps a low profile

Top 10 Best Looking Backpacks | Voted By You After Polling 150 Bags

 This backpack is far more comfortable. It is an attractive, low profile pack and a fraction of the price a leather pack would be. The pack is comfortable to wear. My laptop has 15" screen and it comfortably and securely fits

 Carrying everything I needed in a satchel or briefcase just became unwieldy. It can also be a pain to carry a heavy bag wearing a skirt and heels. This backpack is far more comfortable. It is an attractive, low profile pack and a fraction of the price a leather pack would be

Professional looking backpack

 Also, having a look at the back of the bag, this molded back panel here got this flex event technology from North Face in the back. So basically, what that does is let the air come between your back and the pack. Actually, it stops your back from getting super sweaty, so that's quite a nice feature that they've got on this pack. Also, these straps using the same material that high density, compress molded foam here so they're, really good quality

 Have a look: it's just one big empty, empty storage component. There yeah there's really no other internal organization here, but what's really good to see is you do have this huge access really easy to see everything that's in your bag, yeah? That makes it super easy to pack and unpack your bag access, your stuff, the laptop storage. We also have this laptop and part separated from the main compartment here. It is here yeah

 So if you, if you're left with a little bit bigger than a 15-inch MacBook Pro, that's not going to be a problem at all. When the laptops in there nice and snug it actually only comes to about this far down on the pack, so you do have about two three inches off the ground. So if you do happen to drop your bag, then you do have a little bit of space. There so I'm just gon na hit your laptop and damage it

 We do have more of that same technology like the little phone pocket at the front. Where you see you can see this you've got this little elasticated grab handle system which allows it easily and quickly get your laptop by the way. This is a 15-inch MacBook Pro. So if I just stick that in there, you can see how much space we've got at the top still got a bit more

The North Face Kaban

 While it's not perforated, it doesn't have a lot of relief, especially right down here through the spine area and open channels here to allow for a lot of ventilation to keep you nice and cool. The shoulder straps themselves are firm, but clearly they're cut well and they're comfortable and we'll see for sure how well they do under load. There is a sternum strap which is adjustable up and down, and the shoulder straps themselves are fully adjustable. There is a grab handle here at the top and then in the very front there is a place if you want to attach a blinky red light

 Hard to say it's not quite big enough to fit a well, at least not any modern-day cellphones in there. Maybe an old flip phone can fit in there. And it's a little bit harder to see here because this doesn't unzip beyond. too far beyond that you can see here

 so maybe that's why it feels so much lighter than normal, but not too bad on. all you need to do is maybe. well, not sure how easy it would be to do, but if they could have extended the length of this sternum strap, perhaps that would have made it a little bit more stable, especially since you don't have a waist belt to go with this. Okay, so that has some pluses and minuses in terms of how well it carries a load

 The straps themselves are actually very comfortable. in the back is actually very comfortable. It's one of the most comfortable packs if you're not using the sternum strap. In terms of the suspension system that I've used, it holds the the weight of the bag really nicely

Review of The North Face Kaban 26L

 Of course you get the sternum strap right here. Most people don't use that and they're walking in at cities, but you have that. You're hiking in the mountains. The profile is very nice, sticks to your back very well, even fully loaded

 Nice and protected please. Toothpaste toothbrush, Why not keep clean? pens, blower, highlighters? what have you all fit right here? Another fleece-lined pocket right here. I Am kind of weird I Carry iPad iPad Mini So they're very well protected and it's a nice deep fleece lined pocket right here. Alright, that's the uber organized mid popular

 I Am kind of weird I Carry iPad iPad Mini So they're very well protected and it's a nice deep fleece lined pocket right here. Alright, that's the uber organized mid popular. Now let's find a zipper for the main pocket. Getting nice burly zippers there it is

 Carries all the cool stuff. What about work? productivity? laptops got you covered. It will carry up to a 50 inch laptop getting here. I Have my Macbook 13 so very sizable pocket right there and again

Consumer Reports

The Tortuga Outbreaker 45L backpack is one of the most comfortable packs in our test suite. No matter how heavy you pack this bag, the even weight distribution, plentiful padding, and highly adjustable harness system will keep your body happy. While not above and beyond, the organization is suitable for the average traveler, and the padded laptop sleeve and plush tablet pocket offer just enough protection for all your electronics. This is not a budget-friendly option, but the high-quality materials ensure a durable, long-lasting travel backpack, making it a high-value purchase. 
The Outbreaker is covered in half-inch-thick Ariaprene foam, which is very comfortable and surprisingly breathable, but it can make the pack feel bulky. It comes in just one color, black. Most of our testers find the black-on-black to have a sleek and timeless look, but some would prefer a more colorful option. Lastly, the high price tag can be a difficult pill to swallow, but considering the quality of the materials, this bag is built to last. If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks for a high volume, high quality, and blissfully comfortable travel backpack, then the Outbreaker is a great choice.

Pluses: holds a lot, carries a 17" laptop, 3 locking compartments, load levelling straps really work well, sternum strap is movable! Minuses: hip pad, shoulder pads could be better (very good but not great), mesh back would vent off sweat

Great travel backpack

 Plus, the Osprey is unable to stand upright on its own (due to not having a flat bottom) and the Tortuga can. Thus, making it easy to put the bag down on the floor when not carrying it.  -comfortable carry-on bag that is designed as a minimal backpack. Can be incognito from budget airlines and can blend into a crowd of people in a city without looking like a tourist

 Though the Osprey had a better harness/waist strap system, but for the size of bag, the Tortuga's removable waist straps works just fine. Most times I don't even use the waist straps unless I know I will be walking for over 20+ minutes.

I was torn between this and the Osprey Farpoint 40L. After trying both of them out, the Tortuga won.

Best Travel Backpack

 Bag was comfortable and secure, travelled well around the city and doesn’t seem as big as it is. Highly recommend for travelers who want a lot of room but don’t want to check a bag. If you don’t have inserts of your own you might want to buy them to help maintain shape structure but overall highly recommended.

I took the 45L bag from the US to Rio and back as a carry-on bag. No issues from the airlines and I had the bag full to max weight with equipment and clothing.

Excellent bag. 45L will go as carry on.
