I took the 42L through Peru for a two-week work/play trip and never once regretted going bigger. The structure, durability, and internal layout are just dialed. It holds more than you’d expect without turning into a saggy duffel, and the mesh panel dividers actually make packing feel less chaotic. Yeah, it’s heavy when full and yeah, no hip belt included is a bit annoying but this thing can take a beating and still look good sitting under a hostel bunk or in a coworking lounge.
Anyone flown with this on stricter budget airlines like Ryanair or Jetstar? Curious how tight it gets.
