My topic for you is this: Do you have a go-to tech bag recommendation? And if you don't have a specific bag that you covet and evangelize, is there perhaps a brand that you very much appreciate? Uh, that will work as well.
But because of my travels for work, which is constant, I interchanged various sizes of Tech Pouch.
That required me, of course, to get, well, another ALPAKA piece, and then yet another, then another, then another, then another.
And the, the thing about them is they're built like a tank, but yet they don't look ugly.
They're waterproof, you know, with the old Water Guard, uh, you know, YKK AquaGuard zippers.
I don't even want to steer you down the wrong rabbit hole as to which ALPAKA.
I used for, like, 20 f- plus years a Brenthaven backpack from the '90s, so get a time machine or go on eBay for that.
I got the small one, and then I realized I wanted the big one too because the small one is for most of my travel, but sometimes I'm doing short trips, and the beauty of the large Bellroy Transit Work Pack is I can pack for two days in that backpack, and that means I don't need to check a bag.
I just get my stuff, and it fits in that backpack along with room for my laptop and my e-reader and all my cables and my chargers, and they all fit in there, and they do fit under the seat in front of me, which is the best.
