Looking for a "buy once, cry once" backpack (around 30L) for work + occasional travel
I've been researching backpacks for weeks and would love some advice from people who have actually owned these bags. Trying bags is a hassle since I live in Iceland and ordering / returning bags is not really a viable option.
Daily carry:
- 14" HP laptop (sometimes also a 14" MacBook Air)
- Logitech MX Keys S
- MX Master
- Bose QC Ultra
- Tech pouch
- Water bottle + Monster
Occasionally:
- Hoodie
- 1–2 days of clothes for work trips
Current shortlist:
- Aer TP4 Ultra 28L
- Rework Outbound 30L
- FYRO Levo 30L
If you've owned any of these, I'd love to know:
- Which carries heavy loads (8–10 kg) the best?
- Which works best as both an office backpack and for overnight trips?
- Is there another bag in the 24–30L range I should seriously consider?
Thanks in advance.
