    The neat and tidy, writerly-readerly Icon...

    Holds a not-jammed-but-no-room-to-spare A5 Ghost Whale, a fairly chubby HLT-1, a second trade sized paperback, a Bounty bar (yum!), keys, and a IPhone XR...being used to take the pic.

    And there was room still for my hat and gloves rolled up.

      Love these photos! Great colors.
      We need more Icon pics; I'm curious what others are carrying in theirs.

        Bchaplin,

        Thanks! Glad you like the colours! The jewel-tones (ish) are my go-tos hands down. The HLT and A5 side by side fit the Icon just like puzzle pieces. I surprised myself with all that i can carry that way without it becoming disorganized chaos inside the bag.

          Been bouncing between CA and TX a lot lately. My go-to for the trips has been my SA and Pilot.
          They can both fit nicely under my seat on Southwest (middle or window seat)
          - Absolutely everything in the last pic fit in my SA (and yes, easily under the seat). Yes, it was full but not tick ready to explode full.
          - 2nd to last pic is just majority of the items in their packaging cubes
          - 3rd to last pic is travel ready

          - pic of pilot is a LOT less interesting(though in one of the packing cubes is a banana loaf that easily fed 5 people).
          - My pilot also carries my MacAir 13 + my Dell (only Dell is shown in the pic) but they both fit really nicely in the pilot even with the laptop sleeve.
          - I also normally have my SE in one of the front pockets — I loved my coworkers more in this instance and banana bread trumped SE.

              My Large SB is living the dream.
              Toting delicious bakery supplies and acting as Southwest carry-on (under the seat) for weeks’ worth of clothes and supplies (in packaging cubes and sacks) — I typically tie the handles together if there’s a risk of tipping over during car or plane transit.

                As someone who considers my SA as my ride-or-die pack, I appreciate seeing this load-out so much. Especially since I have the same one as you. It’s just magic how much it can hold.

                  Received my black Parapack Synik 30 yesterday and it’s simply incredible. What a great first impression to TB bags. Here it is all packed up, ready to take to the office on Monday. Depending on the light, this bag can take on different shades - which I love.

                    Nordic synapse 19, sitka pcsb, sitka small snake charmer, and two small ghost whales went to Pensacola this weekend with me. My bf took his new to him Nordic Smart Alec, it was also his first ever one- bag trip. I’ll post pics of his later.

                      The pickup truck helped me haul my materials to a downtown gallery to do a screenprint demo. This bag is perfect for this kind of thing. Fits so much, and is still organized. Been using it constantly since I got it a few weeks ago.

                        Loving my mars red pop tote this rainy week. Enough room for everything I need and then some.

                          My Road Buddy is on the road again... This is my first time travelling with a MCB as my personal item instead of the DLBP. Let's see how it goes.

                            Have the exact same Road Buddy, and love it. Sad that there are no more such bags.

                              Umm… there are still some Aubergine Road Buddy 36 Duffels left:
                              Tried and proved true over 20 years (with a few updates along the way), the Road Buddy Duffel is our take on the go everywhere, go anywhere duffel bag: tough as nails, easy on the eyes, all with a good amount of built-in organization. #10 YKK zippers. Cut & sewn in Seattle.
