The PacSafe Backpack CitySafe 350 is one of my favorite bags for travel. I love backpacks in general since I hate having things in my hands as I walk around (my camera/phone as camera being an exception.)

It is large enough, and you can definitely fit a reasonable amount of stuff while still meeting the teeny tiny personal item requirements of places like RyanAir (I haven’t flown on them so I’m basing my theory on the actual measurements of the backpack and the fact that they are reported to have not really looked at you if your bag doesn’t look like you stuffed a dinosaur in it…) I dig the safety features like the exomesh, the clips for the zippers, the specific pockets they have for your stuff all the while having a decent sized barrel interior. I have bigger backpacks with too many pockets that don’t seem to hold as much as this bag. (Mine is an older version and doesn’t have some of the newer pockets, I suspect if mine ever dies a horrible death I will buy a new one.)

I used this bag when I did my trip within a trip to London from Paris and it was super comfy even though I had all my gear for the trip on my back while we were riding the Big Bus Tours or wandering around the Underground.
