  Had this backpack for 30 years

  Another great bag: My eBags Weekender is at 20 years. Not a daily use bag, but has been on 100s of flights and I lived out of it for at least 3 years if all the travel is considered.

  What is the equivalent of "Apple removed 3.5mm jack" of your favorite products ?

  Ebags had an amazing bag called the Motherlode. It was just about the perfect bag for a carryon. I have traveled around the world with it and can pack for two weeks between that and my personal bag. One year, we bought them for each of our children. I'm the newer version, they removed the shoulder strap, so now it's only a backpack. Still a good bag, but the loss of that strap is a big downgrade. (Yes, I know I can buy third party straps. Just like you can buy Bluetooth headphones for an iPhone.)

  Best Carry-On Luggage for travel to Buy? Need Suggestions.

  I've had an eBags Motherload for fifteen years, it still looks new, I travel a fair bit, and it has a better layout than any other bag. E: lol Samsonite bought them. You can still get them but they're 200 bucks now. They used to be 90. https://shop.samsonite.com/collections/mother-lode/

  Trying to find a good travel backpack for Hawaii and other trips. What do you guys look for to know it’s bifl

  I have the Ebags version of the Motherlode Jr. and it is a good bag. It does get heavy if packed for more than a weekend but if you don’t over pack it is a really nice bag. I bought mine in 2018 and it is still in good shape. I just use it for a personal item when I fly and I feel like I need extra space (after I have already packed my carryon suitcase).
