Trying to find a good travel backpack for Hawaii and other trips. What do you guys look for to know it’s bifl
Tom Bihn Synapse for me. Fits under the seat in front of me, but somehow the storage feels cavernous as I'm putting stuff in there.

The Best Backpacks for Travel Available Now?
I have a Tom Binh Synapse 25 that I've been using for travel and just day to day use for six or seven years now, and not only does it still look brand new, I swear I can put everything I own in there and still somehow fit it under the seat in front of me on an airplane. Something about they way they set up the pockets makes it feel like it can hold a ton while not getting super bulky. I don't think I'll ever use anything else.

What are your favorite niche BIFL items that are currently available?
I have a Synapse 25 that I bought in 2013 and carried daily for several years afterward, and still use for travel. I have carried it all over the world, more often than not overstuffed, and it still looks brand new. It seems like most of the high end backpacks out there skew a little towards the tacticool or the mountain climbing aesthetic, but Tom Bihn's stuff is clean and simple and doesn't stand out at all. And most importantly they have great organization without being covered in MOLLE webbing or being a rucksack with no internal pockets whatsoever. I've owned a lot of backpacks and if I had to pick one to keep forever it would be the Synapse.

Backpack for college
Raven is a great bag. Tom Bihn Synic or Synapse are in the sale line. The Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24s are very fun bags. You can still find those online. The new version is the Yeti Ranchero, which while nice is almost double the cost.
