    LTT backpack. It does what they say it does - holds a metric ton of stuff, fits under an airplane seat, comfortable even when loaded. Bought it to use for work, and I can fit all my work gear for trips as well as clothes.

      Ditto. I’ve had mine for over a year now with daily use and it’s been great. Good room for tools, and a dedicated outside pocket for glasses. Inner pocket keeps water bottle in place. Organized device storage that holds 2 laptops, an iPad, Steam Deck, Kindle and travel router. The fact that it fits the exact dimensions under most airplane seats has been clutch for travel.

      I had to make a warranty claim this week when some of the zipper teeth separated from the bag for some reason. For all the hubbub around the “trust me bro” warranty, support responded within 2 hours and is sending a completely new bag as a replacement. Top notch support.

      I really liked the look of this and the organization, but it was not long after spending a good bit on the Oakley Kitchen Sink, so I didn’t get it. For me, straight up capacity (with some protection) is a meaningful deciding factor, and it’s big and holds a lot, and has a decent number of options on the outside for storage.

      I still do kind of want the LTT bag, though.

        Totally understand. I also have a Rush 5.11, which I love because I can change the pockets on the outside to match whatever I’m doing, thanks to MOLLE. But that bag sucks for travel. Not because it can’t hold anything, but because I got profiled hardcore. Every single time I traveled with that backpack, I got extra security screenings. I got tired of having to dump my bag out every time I flew, so I switched.
