I concur.

I love my DLBC (black halcyon/NWS). I recently discovered that a fabric 3D Organizer Cube will fit in one of those front divider pockets. I keep my laptop charger (Dell Latitude) and...

When I worked in an office daily, I packed my lunch. One day, I realized my lunch box matched the Cordura wasabi interior of my ID.

This is a great packing review. I did a packing post when I used my YD mini for an 18-day work trip. I've since used it a few more times on work trips of an equal or longer duration.

It is an...

I'm 4'11" and worked my way down to a Western Flyer. It is my favorite one-bag option lately. I have done multi-week work trips with it as my only travel bag, which includes one compartment for...

Interestingly, I did tackled the same issue this week. I had a few Nite Ize 3-inch gear ties and used one for each strap. It seems to solve the issue nicely.

That said, I have seen people...

I think I've mentioned this in a thread once before. I have a small seat-side entertainment kit I don't leave home without. I've used everything in there at least once, so I keep them all in there....

No worries. Thank you, though. Your advise was a big help. I went on eBay and bought this one. It shipped quickly and I got it yesterday and installed today, in time for my next work trip. It's not a...

I think that load will easily fit in a DLBP.

I have a Dell Latitude 7480 (13 in x 8.7 in x 0.7 in). I carry it in a 15D cache (external measurement: 15.04 in x 10.63 in x 0.89-1.5 in). I use a...

A-ha! Thank you! I'll look that up.

I was attempting a hack by using the hip belt. I wrapped the clip around the strap and feed the belt webbing into the clip and closed, leaving the clasp in the...

Just a heads up: I don't know the actual dimensions of your laptop and cache, but I use a Tom Bihn size 15D cache (fits a Macbook pro 15 with touchbar) in my Daylight Backpack and that's about the...

That's a good idea. Let them handle the tough stuff. :)

Off to ponder some more ...

@aedifica - Thank you. I couldn't remember how it worked.

My sewing skills ain't so good (even simple stitching), so I might try to brain out another hack. I'll save the 1-inch webbing strap...

Has anyone used the sternum strap sold in the Parts section (this one) on the Daylight Backpack?

I've been using the DLBP a lot while traveling and the shoulder straps slip and slide off my...

When I first started looking for new work and travel bags back in 2013, I was leaning toward another American made product, until I started reading the Tom Bihn forum threads. It felt like friends....

Finally headed home after over a month working out of town. The DLBP and mini Yeoman Duffel fit under the aisle seat of a Southwest 737. It was a bit of a squeeze and the DLBP is vertical but they...

It seems logistically your dad could fit those items in a mini, but if he wanted to add anything else, I'd recommend a small.

I will add two more factors: 24/7 lifestyle and "the same for everyone"

It's something I don't hear mentioned a lot but the fact is we can get whatever we want, wherever we are 24 hours a day,...

@johntubbs and @bartleby -- I don't know what I'd do if I had to dress for a business environment. My company is business casual, with emphasis on the casual. But I would probably has the same set up.

I do think the NFTD holds more but because the Yeoman is an open compartment, I can fit things in better. I finally accepted that I am, and have always been, a duffel kind of girl. :)

As I said...

OK. I returned from the 18-day trip for Easter weekend. But now I go back for 31 days.

I am using the same set up and packing essentially the same thing. However, I must be packing more...

My new favorite is the Daylight Backpack and mini Yeoman Duffel, as I talked about here.

Otherwise, I like the Western Flyer (with Daylight Briefcase packed inside) and the Travel Cubelet or Side...

@Cristina - I used to have a NFTD (traded it for a Western Flyer) and can confirm it is larger than a mini Yeoman Duffel. What I miss most about the NFTD are the end pockets. They are fabulous! But...

Just a quick note and picture. Both bags fit under the window seat on a Southwest 737-700. The DLBP is angled just a bit. If this was the middle seat, it would have laid flat. I did not try the aisle...

Funny, I have thought about these two things and was on the fence for both. One capri is for wearing after work and weekends. The other is an exercise legging capri. But since I have shorts, I can...
