    Afternoon Folks,

    I find myself going on more mini breaks at the moment and am flying upto Edinburgh in a few weeks and it turns out my current rucksack is too big to fit in the overhead, I've got a Peak Design everyday 30L v2 and its outside easyjets 56 x 45 x 25cm size.

    Anyone recomendations for a bag around 25L Laptop sleeve would be a bonus but not necesity as just bung it in there.

    Google brings up a pleathra of brands I've never heard of nore can go and try out in a shop, so seeking advise first before blindly picking one that looks half decent.

    I'm pretty sure Jeff Bezos asked ChatGPT to come up with a few thousand brand names to use on Amazon.

    Personally, I just use one like this from Cabin Max on Amazon.

    You can't go wrong with something from Osprey. They aren't cheap generally but they have loads of good rucksacks.

    I rock a 5.11 Rush 24, not sure if it fits within your size requirements, but is rock solid and has tons of storage

    That looks spot on :) bang on specs and ticks all the boxes.

    Ordered

    Thank you.

    (Edit)
    Ordered the Rush 24 checked the specs bang on :), got it off a tactical site and a load of extras to hang off it and go in it :).

    Don't forget it has to go in the cage at the airport, so you'll have to hang all those extras off your body at the check-in desk. :eek:

    Nobody's talking about it yet but this will low-key be the thing that kills Amazon if they don't fix it, popular product categories are being swamped by a million near-identical knockoff Chinese basement brand items with faked or bribed review scores. It's gotten so bad I just don't use it any more, I default to category-specific online shops or go direct to the manufacturers.
