First, I'm really happy to see a onebag offshoot community happen here outside of Reddit!
Figured we should get this community going by posting what our go-to bags are. Why did you choose that bag? What do you like about it? Anything that could be improved? Any other bags you're eyeing?
My current go-to bag is the Osprey Fairview 40. It's incredibly comfortable and suits my body (I'm very petite) better than my previous bag, which was the RedOxx Sky Train. For me, the issue with the Sky Train was the lack of hip belt for heavier loads, especially when it was packed full (38L capacity). I also wasn't too happy with the organization of the Sky Train either, I think I much prefer having one single compartment and relying on packing cubes.
I was so surprised how comfortable the Fairview was when fully loaded. It didn't feel heavy at all. I guess that's the benefit to having a pack that fits your torso length, along with a proper hip belt!
Im not that extreme as a few of us in here are, but I would start out by throwing away the thought of having different outfits for different days. Also thinking about washing t-shirts/underwear in the sink greatly reduce the amount of pieces of clothing you have to pack. Another thing is layering. You just need a hardshlell jacket , even for winter, its just about being able to build up warmth with the underlying layers. For example; you could use the same thick sweater for the restaurant, as well as an undergarment. Two laptops comes with a lot of weight, but what is good, is that they are flat.
