The Osprey Porter 46 packs a punch in terms of volume. With 46 liters of room, this bag can hold everything you need for an extended trip. This nylon bag, tall and wide, is designed for durability and longevity. It comes with a robust laptop compartment that supports up to a 15-inch laptop, making it suitable for digital nomads on the go. But its primary attraction is the sheer volume it offers; if you're that person who can never decide which favourite t-shirts or shoes are left behind, this is precisely your kind of bag. Its compatibility with only 47 percent of airlines means you may have to pay a check-in fee if the airline is strict about carry-on sizes.
On the contrary, the Peak Design Everyday Totepack follows a different philosophy; it’s about settling on the essentials and traveling light. This bag features a 400D double poly-coated DWR-impregnated nylon canvas shell, which not only gives it an edge in terms of durability but also means it can weather the elements somewhat better than standard nylon. This bag, smaller and lighter than the Porter 46, brings you a laptop compartment that can accommodate a 15-inch laptop. Its size makes it compatible with an impressive 76 percent of airlines as a carry-on item, giving you more mobility.
