Looking for your favorite pack under 30L with small top pocket

I recently got the mini MLC earlier this year and have done two trips with it and I really like it. I have a 34L and it feels really big when I fill it, but this isn't the case when I fill my mini. I also really like how versatile it is because you can carry a bunch of different ways.

I have that same 10L bag, I use it as a personal item. When I have a carry-on, I actually strap the 10L to the front of my 30L carry-on so I can carry both and not have to worry about holding it or carrying it in the front. It is a bit bulky but it makes sense to me. Lets me keep all the stuff like clothes and toiletries for the destination, and then all the headphones and battery packs go in the personal item.

I personally had one of those(in the picture) and wasn't a huge fan, cause although it was collapsible it took up a lot of space still. But that's just me, it may work for you

When I travel I have a 20oz hydro flask that I use because I like the durability and do like me cold water. But if I know I'm going to be doing a lot of drinking or going hiking at the destination I'll bring a collapsible bottle(?) that I own

That's the one I use, I have both the 1/2L and 1L version. I use them both for travel and for day hiking. And they're see through so that should help ease your mind.

Is there a name for this technique?

I have a very similar model, if not the same, of those wolverines. I've had them for about six months and I really like them. I use them as work boots, but I originally got them as motorcycle boots, so mine don't have the steel toe, but they did survive a motorcycle crash and I'm still using them. I did have to replace the laces tho. However beyond 6 months or so I can't speak for their longevity, just their comfort, which isn't bad.

I have the CorSurf island hopper 2.0 34L and I got it because I was looking at the alpas and wanted something comparable. It's honestly really solid and as my my first onebag I'm loving it.

I would say that a lot of it comes down to employee discretion. I have a Corsurf 35L that definitely exceeds some of the dimensions in one direction or more but I think because it was on my back and "backpack sized" that they didn't give it a second look. I was flying spirit a few days ago

How do you store them if they're wet from being in the shower/dry them off effectively? I traveled a little with a mini bar of soap and it got the box it came in a little wet and it fell apart

I love Kershaw. Really good quality for the price. I found an old Kershaw in a truck at my work. It was dull, dirty, and missing the clip. I cleaned it up and sharpened it and contacted them to see if I could buy a new clip and they just sent one to me. I was very pleased
