But, it's a great bag for schlepping a pile of bike gear. I wouldn't want to wear it all day, but for transmitting from train station to hotel, it's fine.
So, my luggage options are roughly...
- Rapha race day bag for one-day events
- 2 different size backpacks for day hikes
- Osprey Farpoint for carry-on/overhead air travel (usually in combo with a daypack)
- Patagucci Black Hole for long weekends and longer trips by car or as checked baggage (which I try very hard to avoid doing).

I don't think they make the 60L anymore, switched to other sizes. Never had an issue at the gate. Love that thing, gotta get that strap issue fixed. It will probably last forever, and, if anything breaks, Patagonia always fixes or replaces it for life. I have experienced that more than once with their garments.
