I travel at least 100 days a year and have been for about a decade; as such, I've tried SO many bags and luggages, and in this video I share why this is, by FAR, the best carry-on travel bag and it doesn't even come close (from all the backpacks I've tried so far). =============== TIMELINE + LINKS =============== Some of the links below are affiliate links.

People who are shorter than 5'5" (165 cm) might lean towards the 35L - NOT because of any functional difference - but rather, because of a potentially slightly awkward appearance. 1:38 - Category 2 of 5 (Interior) 🔗👉 Clip-In Pouches: https://shrsl.com/4ax3f 🔗👉 Packing Cubes Set: https://shrsl.com/4ax3h 🔗👉 Pakt Everyday 15L Bag: https://shrsl.com/4ax3q 🔗👉 Cipway Compression Cubes on Amazon: https://amzn.to/45EqxI8 A quick note for those who have a 16" Macbook Pro (M1 of later). Although the 35L fits the 16" laptop in the central padded sleeve, the Macbook Pro specifically requires a bit of fiddling with the flap-cover. If you have a 16" Macbook Pro and want the smoothest in and out, the 45L is definitely the one for you. 3:04 - Category 2 of 5 (Exterior) 🔗👉 Pakt Everyday 15L Bag: https://shrsl.com/4ax3q 🔗👉 Blender Bottle 28oz on Amazon:https://amzn.to/40wTrJh 🔗👉 Peak Design Travel Tripod on Amazon: https://amzn.to/40BAgxU 🔗👉 Tactile Turn Titanium Pen: https://tactileturn.com/products/bolt-action-pen ✅ Get 10% off with code MauriceMoves at checkout with Tactile Turn! When you are packing for a trip, really spend some time to "imagine" your day to day activities as you go through your itinerary. This will really help inform what to bring, and just as importantly, where to pack them depending on variables like frequency of use, how fragile things you bring are, and of course, how expensive things are to replace which would motivate you to store those items more securely. 6:33 - Category 3 or 5 Even if you don't use this bag, it's good practice when packing for travel, to always have a pouch of the most frequently used items that pack right at the top so you never have to go digging to find those items that you often have to reach for - items like phone chargers and power banks are of course the first that come to mind, but depending on your preferences, pack with intentionality to make things more streamlined. 7:22 - Category 4 of 5 By nature of using a carry-on-only bag, you're already taking a big step in securing your things. Checked luggage can get lost or tremendously delayed (especially if you have any transfer flights). There are many options to keep your things secure, but one of the most effective ways is to simply introduce one barrier that will make your bag even a TINY bit more difficult to steal or pickpocket. You don't need to turn your bag into a vault - you just need thieves to perceive your bag as more difficult that other bags near you. TSA approved combination locks are an absolute JOKE for anyone who is determined to break in, but I use them because they're enough to deter most pickpockets to target someone else without any barriers. 🔗👉 TSA Locks on Amazon: https://amzn.to/477nQAp 🔗👉 Apple AirTags on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3u3WUTi 8:56 - Category 5 of 5 🔗👉 Pakt Travel Backpack V2 - 45L: https://shrsl.com/49vif 🚨 Giveaway Entry Guidelines 🔗👇 https://mauricemoves.com/blogs/making-moves/entry-rules-pakt-travel-backpack-v2 #Travel #OneBagTravel #CarryOnOnly Want to connect more?
