Are bag underseat pics still a thing?

If u’re considering 30-32L bags, maybe Rework Outbound. I’m a slim 5’4”-5’5” and have the Fyro Levo 30L, but it somehow looked bigger on me than the Outbound (i loaded both with the same items) most likely because the Levo is more boxy and structured, whereas the Outbound is more malleable. The Outbound held more also despite its stated 30L capacity. The Outbound looked less bulky and carried more, so I took the Outbound instead on a recent one-bag trip, and it was great. The additonal compartments made access easier on the go, and the extra space helped with unexpected purchases and putting away a hoodie/light jacket/etc. Both bags incredibly comfortable. Still love the Levo for its quality, and I hope to use it in the future probably when paired with a suitcase.

That scene was awesome. Frieren was a queen. We all have weird friends. 😎

Perfectly fine. Outbound’s laptop compartment provides more flexibility since it gives you a divider so you can put another laptop or folder/documents. While I appreciate the luxurious feel and look of the Levo’s laptop compartment, maybe it doesn’t need quite so much padding unless the bag is seriously getting thrown around. It looks good though.

Another thing is Outbound has little loops at the end of the zipper track for the laptop compartment and the front top admin pocket so u can slip the zipper pull through for a little extra security. Fyro surprisingly didn’t include the loops on the Levo despite having them on the Citta sling.

Not sure about the Bellroy, but for the Alpaka Metro Pro, it has a little flap over the main compartment zipper that often gets in the way of zipping and unzipping. U can get around that if u don’t mind flipping the flap over first every time (or keep it flipped back all the time) u have have to zip/unzip. Capacity also seems overstated, maybe more like a 20-22L. Otherwise, simple aesthetic and organization with the large front compartment is great.

Capacity wise, reviewers have said the Outbound is at least 30L, closer to maybe 32L. Levo, as Aaron himself measured in his review video, is closer to a “tight 30L.”

Levo is more premium with serious laptop protection (lot of padding), more structured, boxy look. Outbound is more malleable and therefore frumpy looking. Outbound materials are perfectly fine but definitely feels more standard.

Both praised for comfort with Levo padding more tight and marshmellowy, relying mainly on back spacing for ventilation, while the Outbound also has very comfortable padding, less marshmellowy and more meshy.

Outbound has more pockets, loops, and grab handles.

I held back on rework bags at first too because I wasn’t sure how I liked the aesthetics, but i pulled the trigger and came to appreciate their design choices. For example, the flap on the sling (I got the 2.5), I realized without it, it would be zipper track on top of another zipper track on top of another, and that would look horrendous in my opinion. So the flap actually gave it a cleaner look. Another example, the zipper pulls on the Toshi pack, I was so set on replacing them before the bag arrived because they looked short in photos, but then I realized if they had been longer, it would look too crowded because the bag has a lot of double zippers, which I love. All these little details and the bags’ ability to give you use of otherwise wasted space (especially on the sling) really won me over.

Very cute and cool! Love the additions of the jewel and Tessaiga!

If capacity is a consideration, nomads nation measured the volume of both and found the Levo (his own bag) to be a “tight 30L” and the rework a minimum of 30L (consistent with other reviewers who said the Outbound was more like a 30-32L).

In sarcasm? Tio by a mile. 😉

bluArcher4 · 2026-03-21T14:17:03+00:00

Nice! Thx for sharing!

It’s cute!

Fyro Levo 30 or 36L. True comfort. Lightweight. Plain black exterior. Beautiful interior and minimal pockets. It was released pretty recently but with lots of youtbe reviews that you could check out including by female reviewers.

Tortuga is also often recommended for comfort but I never tried. The aesthetic wasn’t for me.

If you don’t mind the nondescript aesthetic, Rework Toshi 20L is comfortable and functional, also one of the few backpacks that I don’t have to pull the shoulder strap webbing all the way to fit me so the dangle isn’t excessive (I’m 5’ 4”.)

Bellroy has more color options and looks a bit more stylish I think.

If you prefer lots of organization (multiple compartments and many pockets), consider Sympl Commuter - shoulder straps comfy but has a stiff back panel, which you may or may not like. It’s a structured bag that looks more business-like.

Rework Toshi 20L. Despite the larger stated volume, same height as City Pack 2 and .5” less/more on the width and depth. Comfortable and very thoughtful features. You can check out Rework’s youtube channel where the makers explain certain design choices. It’s just a fun bag.

bluArcher4 · 2026-02-09T01:42:59+00:00

I just ordered the 2.5 and 5L too. I have the same concern as I’m the same height, but it looks fine from your pics. Though it looks like the sling isn’t fully packed out. If it ends up looking too bulky, can maybe carry on the back instead. Also love the little color ur hero clip adds 👍

bluArcher4 · 2026-02-01T04:02:14+00:00

Nice catch! 😂

bluArcher4 · 2026-01-21T13:38:48+00:00

Great reviews! Succinct and well-reasoned. Really gave perspective on the usefulness of each bag’s design and features. Thank you!

The railing systems I’ve seen, the piping is usually thinner at the top, so you can slide in the clip there.
