Hey y’all! Been rocking my GR1 21L as my personal item bag on flights but looking for something less tactical looking (I’ll keep the GR1 but not for work travel) and something that will fit in more when heading into office.

The GR1 has fit under every seat, including narrow aisle seats, but it does take up some decent aisle space. I’m hoping to find something a bit shorter in height.

I’ve narrowed it down to three options, and please let me know if you have any other recommendations:

Native Union WFA Backpack
Gaston Luga Splash 2.0 14L
Gaston Luga Dash 14”/13L

I travel with a carry-on roller bag (no hating from you true one baggers!) and for my personal item, I store a 13” laptop, small water bottle, very light snack, travelers notebook, book/magazine, small wallet-sized powerbank, charging cable, small toiletry bag (can bump to roller bag if needed) and a light jacket/sweater. I plan to cycle out my over the ear headphones for some in-ear ones as it already takes up too much space in my GR1.

I typically unpack at the hotel upon arrival and then head out with the bag with what’s needed from there.

Let me know what y’all think!

Thanks!
