Which modern backpack do you like the most? I have an old Osprey that I love but I'm in need of a new one. Should be big enough to fit two laptops and to be used as the single item on a one night trip. Fitting under an airplane seat. Looking at newer Ospreys and Cotopaxi. Any suggestions?
Check out Ucon https://ucon-acrobatics.com/ - only caveat is wouldn't take them hiking
just got bobby hero xl after my 7 year old bobby hero became too worn out (but it's smol so I still use it sometimes) can attest for the quality, just came back from airplane trip, fits under the plane sit snuggly! you can be one of us jerks that don't take off their backpacks on public transit!
I have travelled with Peak Design travel 30L and done week long trips with the Peak Design travel 45L. Love both - designed for photographers so well padded and secure for travel and everyday life (45L is too big for daily). Also looking into buying Aer City Pack.
I got a bugout bag from some random vendor on Amazon that’s weatherproof, 62L. It’s sturdy and would definitely get the job done in a disaster situation. Otherwise I have a backpack by Kenneth Cole that fits two small laptops and enough clothes for a long weekend.

I have the Thule Crossover as a daily + travel backpack. It’s one of my best purchases ever. - I use it for laptop (16” MacBook) + tablet. Two laptops might need a bigger one, but I’d highly recommend the brand. They’re incredibly functional (super water resistant with lots of clever and low profile pockets/sl
I can’t recommend Nomatic enough. I have the 20L and might suggest a 32L depending on size of clothes/shoes. https://www.nomatic.com/collections/travel-backpacks
what is your use case? do you like to be overly prepared, or go lite?
I would pay so much money to order another Cotopaxi Nazca. I still have and use mine but I will be so sad when it breaks. Best bag ever https://goingawesomeplaces.com/review-cotopaxi-nazca-24l-travel-pack-transforms-to-your-needs/
this summer I got a Tropicfeel shell backpack and 100% recommended. You can go from 20L to 40L, separate space for laptop and you can even fit clothes for more than a week. Perfect for nomadic life. https://shop.tropicfeel.com/pages/shell-backpack
worth looking into montbell! i have their versalite pack and a running pack which probably aren’t stiff enough for laptops but they do have ~urban~ travel bags — really rate their quality/design across the line
*Rubs hands together* boy do I have the post for you: https://maxpetretta.com/blog/travel-backpack
I'm very happy with my Aer travel pack https://www.aersf.com/travel-pack-3-black
For everyday carry I highly recommend the peak design every day bag and for travel any of their travel bags based on size you need They have a focus on photographers but customize to anyone being able to use them
Thank you everyone for so many awesome recommendations! Who knew there was such a big cool world of backpacks out there. After looking through all of them, I think the Peak Design Travel 30L fits my needs best. Thank you all! 🎒
all of the suggested bags are very non female friendly dont u think @so
Love my Public Rec bags. Was one of the first with them a couple years back, and I haven’t looked back. As someone who flies 50+ times a year these have been a god send.
