Uhm... Just stick a USB C power bank in your backpack of choice? Several backpacks even have dedicated openings for charging cords.
Edit: if you're determined to have a built in power bank, you can always get a USB A to USB C adapter off Amazon.
You could just buy it from REI which is legit. Not much info on Bag4People, so it could be a scam.
Found it on Amazon. Gootium Vintage Canvas Messenger/Shoulder Bag 32cm Army Green https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C3DC55U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_WRMM2C2AE88F7KV5XV8H?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Maybe not exactly the same, but it looks very similar.
I have a 3V Gear Subrosa backpack ($50ish) that has a similar style. Someone actually asked me yesterday if it was a goruck pack. Here's an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/3V-Gear-Operators-Tactical-Backpack/dp/B076PN6W3L
This is super basic but have you tried a Fjallraven kanken? They come in purple. I have pretty chronic TMJ and this bag is the only thing that doesn’t irritate me or give me neck pain. It’s also rectangular so your lunch box doesn’t make the bag bulge awkwardly and has a laptop slot in the back. It also has 2 water bottle pockets on the side. There aren’t any internal organization slots but I get by just fine with pouches. I’m also 5’1” and the bag doesn’t look overly huge on my back like I’m going camping. It’s super durable and sometimes they are posted on /r/BuyItForLife. If you’re willing to compromise on the color, you can get one for your budget price otherwise the purple is on sale on amazon for $79.
Yep this.
The title on their Amazon page says it's a "checkpoint friendly" feature.
"Zip through security with this pack that features a laptop compartment that lays flat on the screening belt. Checkpoint-friendly top-entry padded laptop compartment; deluxe organization panel."
You could try a sealant to help slow the spread. Could even touch up the paint first.

Something like this may help. Test on a small spot on bottom first to make sure it reacts well. 🤞🏼
Just get a large 3-ring binder and take out the rings, then you'll have a large folio with inches+ wide spine. Would be open on three sides, but plenty of ways to solve that if that's an issue.
Alternatively, custom-make your own 3-sided narrow box out of a couple layers of cardboard. Don't use duct-tape (I think gaffers tape is the kind that doesn't goo everything up). Finish it with a stretchy Lycra book-cover, or decorate the outside if you're creative.
110 USD?!!! It only costs $34 USD on amazon.
This guy is clearly selling his scam website. The only posts he's making are to promote this ridiculously overpriced backpack.

Something like this should fit in an office environment and you can convert it to look like a briefcase for those super formal moments (or VIP clients). 45 USD. Amazon.

Maybe this can be of some use; I use this to bring my lunch to work and it fits mt thin/compact 15l Goruck Echo quite well. Literally slips in and out thanks to it's very slim design.
The Slimfold Slim Pack is compact, very light (1 to 1.5lbs, depending on padding used), and water resistant.
To put it into perspective, the Peak Design Everyday 20L is 4lbs, and even the $800 Veilance Nomin is over 2lbs.
These two were the only unbiased reviews I could find: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/farsf.com
The positive ones on Trustpilot almost repeat the same words and have been written hours apart from one another by accounts with the first result on Google images for "Head Shot" as profile pics. Would seriously avoid for anyone trying to buy from Far SF, which apparently doesn't even exist as a brand according to this Tweet: https://twitter.com/charlesrobinson/status/865951893532626944?lang=en
1/10 Most probably a scam.
Have you considered buying an old medium ALICE pack? They're old Framed Military Rucksack, the Medium is probably within that liter range. Very easy to find on eBay and pretty affordable. I have one that I used specifically for camping.
You can definitely get it cheaper elsewhere but there is a new one off Amazon. Consider buying the real thing.
Hey there! Have you seen the Sterkmann? It is...similar...to the Nomatic. I have one and while it isn't quite as hardy as a Tom Bihn or Bellroy, it is pretty comfortable and sturdy, comes with accessories, could def be used for travel and EDC, AND is <$100USD.
Hope that helps!
I would find a local embroidery shop. They will usually embroider brand new items. This pack here in the link is close. Yes $495 is a ridiculous price. Good luck
https://www.amazon.com/Everest-Classic-Woodland-Backpack-Camouflage/dp/B001821J0Y
I use bright Magpul DAKA pouches.
That should not cost you more than 30 bucks, honestly. Amazon it up, see what you get. Here is an example that pops up very quickly:
It's unfortunate that you're forced to carry more then. You don't have to consolidate them the way I say so of course (since I have no idea how you use them). Just keep an open mind on where you can try to cut down or combine stuff.
I would've recommended the Solo Everyday Max (35L), but unfortunately it hits every criteria except the goth look. It has bits of yellow everywhere. Some could be covered I guess, by replacing with black zipper pulls and covering the handles.
Since you're ok with Molle, why not just look for a 35L tactical backpack? You can usually find them around 30 or 40 USD. Maybe even swing by some army surplus stores. Something like: https://www.amazon.com/Mardingtop-Military-Backpack-Tactical-Rucksack/dp/B01KYYJ0QG/
There are a bunch on amazon if you just google tactical backpack. Hope this helps.

Good to know that.
A bag that's caught my eye is the Solo Elite backpack. https://www.amazon.com/SOLO-Solo-Elite-Backpack/dp/B075DNB9MP This amazon listing says burgundy, but the SOLO (New York based company, reasonably known) website says there are other colours including black, navy, green.
It should carry around 35-40L and weighs 1.8 pounds (0.8kg). The bad thing about it is the lack of hipbelt. Too expensive to by in the UK, but it might help you out.
You can order it and do a testpack, then return it if you don't like it. For $26 USD, you can't really go wrong.
The anti-theft backpack you linked is anti-theft by having the zippers against your back. So the only way to unzip the backpack is if you take off the bag.
The bag description doesn't mention a battery pack so most likely all it has is a cable that leads to the outer usb port. You'll probably have to provide your own battery pack and cable to attach to your phone.
There's a bunch you can find online. If you look up your specific phone, you can see how many mAh its battery has to see how big of a battery you want. Most phones these days have around 3000 mAh. The thing is you can just get these batteries and plug your phone straight into that, you don't need the backpack for it, this just adds some convenience.
Now to figure out if it has room for your switch, the description from the site you provided is quite minimal so I found a similar one on amazon. So let's just go with that one as reference. Given its dimensions it's about 18 liters, which should be more than enough to hold your Switch even with the carry case.
Hope this helps!
It's a bit large but look at the SOLO Everyday Max Hybrid on amazon. 40 USD. Has 2 huge side pockets for your water bottle. Should easily fit your books. Looks good too (to me). Might be a bit bigger than you want around 35L.
https://www.amazon.com/Solo-Everyday-Max-Hybrid-Backpack/dp/B01AC3ZXJW/
https://www.amazon.com/Solo-Everyday-Max-Hybrid-Backpack/dp/B01AC3ZXJW
$40 USD on amazon. Looks good, close to your size, front loading, side pockets look big and usable, separate laptop compartment, grab handles on the sides (great for carry-on use). And if you don't like it you can always return it.
I recently got the Peak Design and I think its a fantastic bag. I wouldnt call it a perfect everyday backpack though and I do agree with you that it can get painful walking around all day with it (its quite a heavy bag to start with to be honest).
I think the Tom Bihn looks like a good alternative.
I also would recommend the North Face Surge. Its a bigger bag, but it has good organizational pockets and lots of room for things.
As for the mirrorless (I use an Olympus mirrorless myself), I would say you are better off getting an insert like the Tenba BYOB 9 from Amazon. Its perfect for a mirrorless and has space for an additional lens as well.
The beauty of this is, you can find lots and lots of backpacks with laptop compartments (have a look at Hershel as they have been pretty popular as well), and you can have a secure space for a mirrorless when needed.
​
I buy translucent (semi-transparent) pencil cases. I can buy coloured translucent cases in a local bookstore for around 70 cents each. And a4 and a5 sizes for 1.50 each. They even come with a D-ring attached so i can still use TB key rings.
You should be able to find something equivalent in your local bookstore or on amazon. Mine look something like the link below, except mine has attached D-rings:
https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Stationery-Documents-Cosmetics-Accessories/dp/B07H69RHXF
Maybe try a milspec camelbak. Not exactly cheap but certainly cheaper than Goruck.

I've never been a fan of the issued assault packs. Always felt like my stuff for the office got beat up in them and my stuff for the field was just thrown in there in a jumble. I need more organization. I bought this one for myself about two years ago, which I've enjoyed using. It was also my gateway drug to bags (next got a 511, couple of Bellroys, a Tom Bihn, a Topo Designs, etc.)
Haven't seen anything about them, but there are some negative comments on Facebook. That looks similar to the Helinox TERG Daypack. You might also like the Bellroy Studio or this ISM bag.
I have a Condor 3-Day Assault pack that opens fill clam-shell and also includes straps for securing items inside. It use it in place of a carry-on when traveling.
It is my third Condor pack and I swear by them.
I was using a Vertx Gamut 2.0 in black. I just received my Vertx Tourist sling in black in the mail. I'm very pleased with it so far. It fits my organizer pouch, first aid kit, and water bottle perfectly. I'm looking forward to going out and trying it out.
I think it's generic Chinese manufactured.
Can't really recall how I got to it but found this now, looks the same:

Or maybe this Timbuk2 Nevercheck Timbuk2 Unisex Never Check Expandable Backpack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07932RTYB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3fghFbNN6CGT0
I’d suggest this one: https://www.amazon.com/Backpack-BAGSMART-Charging-College-Bookbag/dp/B0834RFZSX
I don’t own it. Haven’t even seen one in person. Sorry. But I’ve had it in the back of my mind for months and the reviews are pretty good for a $29 bag. Plenty of pics and videos on its Amazon page.
Good luck...
Maybe taking a look at the Solo Everyday Max backpack. It has a 35L capacity, and its main compartment can open up duffel bag style for your clothes, or just from the top. Separate compartment for your a laptop (17.3"). It also has a shoe compartment as well. I bought one today and hopefully it's good when it arrives.
Here is the link on amazon though: SOLOD ACV732-4 Velocity 17.3-Inch Duffel Backpack https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01AC3ZXJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Pa8pEbEET5NV0

Hi
I'll try to briefly tell you my story about this backpack
I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. I really liked the look of it. I tried to order it several times, but each time I encountered a problem with payment. First I tried to order it in Russia, then in Turkey.
At some point I decided to look at what was similar on Aliexpress and came across a very similar backpack.
https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005003453970867.html?spm=a2g2w.orderdetail.0.0.732b4aa6GxUH9H&\_ga=2.75064018.1165751884.1671459558-1807991049.1671130628&sku\_id=12000025862544037
It was much cheaper and I ordered it. I wasn't expecting anything special. In the end, I received a really very similar backpack. The sewing quality is good enough, but overall the materials are not very high quality. As far as I can tell, my backpack differs from Subtech primarily in the fittings. Mine are all plastic fasteners, the Subtech's are good aluminum ones. Also, the Subtech has an extra waterproof compartment for my laptop. My backpack doesn't have anything like that.
As far as I can tell now, the main reference for the Subtech was a backpack from Mil-Tec:
https://www.amazon.com/Mil-Tec-Assault-Large-Tactical-Black/dp/B07BYRJVPW
But Mil-tec also has plastic buckles and no laptop pocket.
Maybe someone has already been able to get a bag from Subtech and share their opinion?
Thanks. The OneTiger model is similar and gets good reviews. I might try it out. https://www.amazon.ca/OneTigris-Drawstring-Tactical-Hydration-Carrier/dp/B00QWFVK1A/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?crid=2Q8HAOP1RBF4E&keywords=molle+water+bottle+carrier&qid=1671405094&sprefix=water+bottle+carrier+molle%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-13#aw-udp...
It’s an s-zone (large) on Amazon. Found it after poking around for one that fit well without adding too much bulk. Fits perfectly!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071JR5SMH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
If you need to bring pillow/sleeping bag, the new army duffle bag with compression straps and side zipper swallows up gear.
Little over 25 litres but I have the Technicals Metropolis 33. Two compression straps on each side and a lot of good internal organisation. Material is decently water resistant as well. I got mine in a clear out sale (discounted from £90 to £30). On Amazon it's much cheaper as well.
If you like that one, I have another suggestion for you that is a lot cheaper.
I recently bought this one and this fits inside (It would have fit another jacket)

They're charging way too much for that backpack.
hey,
so actually i just did the measuring today.
I had ordered ABS pellets, but when I got them I realized I was going to make an enormous mess, and it wasn't worth it.
Therefore I used plastic balls I had around, a mix of 7cm and 5.5 cm in diameter.
It would have been better if I had used only the smaller ones, but I didn't have enough.
I don't actually think the values I'm getting are accurate in terms of absolute volume (there's empty space between the balls), but the results are more than enough to compare the two bags.
This bag : https://www.samsonite.co.uk/openroad-2.0-laptop-backpack-clothes-compartment-17.3---cool-blue/137209-1971.html?cgid=B650
expanded, and sold as 34 liters, can load 1.53 times more balls than
https://www.amazon.com/Briggs-Riley-Large-Cargo-Backpack/dp/B07CFN867V
which is sold as 33 liters.
So the B&R holds about 65% of the volume of the Samsonite.
I'm still just as disappointed, but at least now I have objective reason to be.
I think it has a lot to do with the price I paid for the bag, and their marketing that says their clients are like family. You'd think they would use more conservative measurement techniques.
have a look at the SKYSPER LANTC30 backpack or LANTC40 backpack. I think they would be suitable.
Chrome is pretty dang great at that stuff, but black ember looks like it might work well too. Might be good to throw the laptop in a waterproof case as well. If you want something better, you can also search for drybag backpack.
Heya,
They don’t quite seem to be what I’m looking for, though I might be looking at the wrong products.
I was looking more for something like this (but not crap quality): https://www.amazon.com/Solo-New-York-Convertible-UBN310-53/dp/B002JTP2Y4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Hybrid%2BBackpack&qid=1663814079&sr=8-3&th=1
I'll look more at their website though, maybe I just didn’t see the right one!
Osprey Metron 24 Bike Commuter Backpack
The upcoming revision of the Metron seems to come with a padded hip belt. Doubt it has zip pockets on both sides though.
Sounds like a Chinese knockoff on Amazon is your best bet. Obv take the reviews with a grain of salt. Here’s one that might work.
This?This?
I have thisone and basically love it. It has many compartments, a lot of space. More than a small trolley fits, it's incredible. If needed, the straps up front can hold an extra pair of shoes. There is a place for a water bag/paperwork, a separate one for a laptop and a notebook. A bag for pens, a rain cover. One net bag inside I use for my chargers etc. The zippers have been running smoothly so far. Have used everything and I'm really happy with the quality of this bag.
It does have a side pocket for a water bottle. But my old one had a strap above which allowed me to lock up my waterbottle. That's definitely something I miss on thisone. And I'm not sure how fashionable you want ot be, it's a regular backpack...
Bought this for my college aged son, a lot of the same specs at you'd like, and he said it works great! (The color we ordered is no longer available, but there are other colors that are).
https://www.amazon.com/Korin-ClickPack-Pro-Backpack-Waterproof/dp/B07F81TCYW
I'd imagine they aren't easy to find, no sane person would want a backpack where strangers could see everything in it.
The only ones I know of are those hard shell pet carrier backpacks. e.g. https://www.amazon.com/LOLLIMEOW-Backpack-Waterproof-Airline-Approved-Designed/dp/B07DRNTNRP
Picked up an Osprey Syncro the other day to keep my back cool. Have used it quite a bit in the sweltering heat the past week or two. See if it's what you're looking for. Comes in 5/12/20L I think (I got the 12)
Tucano Lup and Tugo have a zippered security back pocket.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HZ2DR3Z
Not sure if this is your style. Bought it for lightweight carry at Disney world two months ago and just kept carrying it. It has two bottle pockets inside the bag. It has a single large pocket in the front of the bag and a large sleeve pocket on the back. Great for hydration bladder and ok for a laptop. A padded laptop sleeve is a must. Opening is just big enough for my MacBook Air.
The thing I like the most is the back panel pocket has a gusset that pushes into the inside of the bag. Make for a comfortable carry.
This bag is extremely minimal. If it’s your style it’s worth looking into.
That looks like a good quality bag.
I found the Adidas Utility Sling and I like it a lot. Right size, I like the way it looks, and it has a water bottle pocket.
Adidas Utility Crossbody Sling - I don't have any experience with this particular bag but it has good reviews. Generally speaking, Adidas bags are a good value, and especially so when they go on sale. The logo on this one isn't too obnoxious for an Adidas bag. $37.
Or one of the dozens of cheap chinese knock of bags of the Maxpedition Remora. My SO got one in a color that Maxpedition doesn't offer and liked it OK....but after less than a year tons of stitching has come loose and there are sections of the 'nylon' that are so thin now you can literally see through them. I would not recommend a cheap version of these bags if you want to actually keep it for any length of time. Hers was tearing within two months.
I have something similar, the Hynes Eagle 38L Flight Approved https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072LX8CCT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It’s not comfortable when fully packed and it’s a bigger rectangle than you would picture. That being said it got me through 2 weeks in Japan as my only bag and I’ve used it for multiple frontier flights since.
I bought this backpack two years ago and I love it. My laptop sits great in it and I love how it opens like a duffel bag, but the inside material has started to rip and the zipper is getting finicky. It looks like they've stopped producing the backpack. Does anyone know where I could find a similar one?
Here's the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Overmont-Backpack-Anti-Theft-Bussiness-Waterproof/dp/B07GP1PY1Y?ref_=ast_sto_dp
I recently purchased a 30L Osprey Transporter Zip Top Backpack. This is another bucket style bag with a 15" laptop area and top lid and front pockets. There is an internal dual water bottle pocket on the side which I like because I don't catch my water bottle on anything if throwing it in a overhead bin, etc. I regularly stick my water bottle (24oz?) and a 20oz coffee travel mug in that pocket, or it would hold a 32oz naglene on its own I think. The last bonus is that it stands up on its own as well, which I really like. I got mine from the REI outlet w/member coupons for around $60, but looks like they're out. Here it is at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Osprey-Packs-Transporter-Laptop-Backpack/dp/B07P5Z1J5X?th=1
Can't go wrong with Anker, get one of their newer models that has USB-C input and output. Like this 10000 mAh one or the 20000 mAh. They also have more premium lineups or ones that have wireless charging too, but unless you want to charge your laptop the regular ones should be enough in terms of charging speed.
Second this. I did have a few pins on my previous EDC bag, but I found them semi regularly snagging on things. Several of them were destroyed during use by being hit on things I threw my bag onto and one was lost twice before I got something like these locking pin backs to keep it from just falling off. The other style of pin, with these style backs will cause you way more trouble than they're worth as they will get lost or simply open on your bag and stab random contents and you when you try to don your bag. That second kind I highly recommend you avoid entirely. As for patches, go for it. You'll want to avoid iron on patches on padded surfaces, as you will melt the padding underneath, but it's a good way to secure a patch until you sew it. Also....sew it on. You will lose a patch that isn't sewn on in very short order, most especially on an area that bends.

This is what we currently use. Spacious yet compact. I also like that it isn’t screaming “HEY LOOK I HAVE A BABY!!!”
After searching a while, think I found the solution. Hope these Outdoor Products Ditty Bag 3-Pack Assorted bags do the trick.
I got the Talon 22 along with this organizer and I’ve been very happy with it. I clip the hip belt behind the pack when I’m not using them.
I have a similar Samsonite backpack that has since been discontinued called the Kombi. I think its pretty much like the samsonite you linked except its ballistic nylon as opposed to leather. I love this backpack and wish I had gotten another. I have considered and seen in the Transit work pack in-person. My biggest gripe with it is that it pretty light when it comes to internal organization imo. Its almost like a small travel bag moreso than a work bag. However, my caution with the Samsonite is that it might be too small for you if you want to include a lunchbox in addition to all those other things.
I have the same bag on the left or thought i did till i clicked the link and saw the price . They probably use the same distributor (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XKLCIIS/ref=emc_b_5_mob_t?th=1&psc=1)
Not by restitching, but attaching something to basically "extend" it.
If you used a small piece of string, for example, and tied a loop into the D ring (like a link in a chain) you could then pass your current strap through that string-loop and connect it to the other bottom D ring.
This sort of idea but not the same orientation/way that they're wearing it.

I bought this a little over a month ago and love it. It's got room for my surface and my galaxy tab, plenty of accessories and cables, ifak, some random tools, and lots of free space.

I feel you, I bought a padded vertical laptop case so I could put that in the compartment, then the laptop in that. It’s worked like a charm for the past 3 years or so. looks something like[this].

I just saw this ULVÖ ROLLTOP 23 one and it looks nice, but I like the "Little America" retro style and I'm confused.
I just don't like to see everyone with a "KÅNKEN" on their back, it looks like a uniform... :)
Two backpacks I'm considering:
- Oakley Kitchen Sink -- Leave the mess of cables and LOTO equipment in another external pouch, and clip it in place externally only when I need it
- Carhartt Force 35L -- would hold roughly the same items I carry in my existing backpack

I have it and I kind of hate it. Most uncomfortable camera bag I’ve ever had. I use it as a backup/ secondary only.
Do you like TNF? This jester has a padded laptop sleeve that appears to be lifted. You’d need to double check the dimensions of the laptop. Laptop Sleeve: 12.75" x 11"
I feel these northface bags are pretty casual and fit in in almost every environment.

They have some interesting bag and they’re located in Finland.
That bag you’re looking at is a Rothco bag. You should check out their online store and see if they shit your way.
Here it is on Amazon.

It meets your requirements, but I'm not sure if it looks too "techy" for you. I chose it because to me it didn't look like your average laptop backpack, and more like the old Jansport bags I used to carry to school.
As a budget backpack goes, it's...decent. You definitely get what you pay for, though.
what about something like this?
I have this in black and its sweet.
That lunch container is a killer - you need 7 inches in depth to accommodate that, another inch in depth to accommodate a laptop, and that leaves for a bag without front pockets or much back structure that is an 8 or 9 inch pack with one main compartment.
Your options multiply if you rethink your lunch carry. I carry a bento-type lunch box that is rectangular and stacks. It's about 3 inches deep. Keeping it vertical is quite easy and it vastly increases the number of options available to you in terms of packs.
I use this one but there are thousands on Amazon. For two gigantic water bottle pockets, look at a Millican Smith. There is no way a Smith is taking your round Pyrex though without standing it on its side.
Sorry.
I'm in the US, but I've noticed that a lot of the products that have those really *odd* names that ship from China are generally poorly made, but more importantly *poorly designed*.
Here's the thing, carrying a significant amount of weight on your shoulders and back comfortably requires that you understand how the body works, and how loads work.
That doesn't come cheap--either the design, or the production.
Things like "codura nylon" in reasonable weights isn't necessarily expensive, but taking the time to sew it right IS.
Leather the same way.
I bought one of these for my daughter https://www.amazon.de/-/en/JanSport-Unisex-Agave-Backpack-black/dp/B08KSJZJ3C, and it's probably going to last her her school career. I've got it's bigger brother (the Odyssey) and I've had it since 2015, using it for work and travel (though not as much of that recently). They aren't cute, or even good looking, but they don't suck.
Frankly you can do a lot worse than Jansport packs. They've been making their basic model for a LONG time, and they're inexpensive. I wouldn't want to load one up with books and a regular laptop and then carry it 5 or 10 kilometers, but if you're either not loading it that much, or you're not walking that far, it'll do you fine.
Just get a tacticool bag and slap a Velcro patch on it?

If there is room you could add a grommet to almost any strap that has the room for it. There are grommet kits on Amazon. You just need to make sure the grommet you get is sized for the clevis pin you have. If you’ve never installed a grommet on something it’s pretty easy.
I would probably try those sandbag straps and replace the clevis pin with a steel or titanium shackle. If the appropriate shackle can be found then the strap clasps could just attach via the shackle.
Something like this:

This should be completely returnable if it turns out to not work.
How heavy is your bag?
Are you looking for a messenger bag that has two shoulder load bearing shoulder straps? If that’s the case then you need to look for a messenger bag with d-rings for the strap attachment point and an extra strap. Looking more at a soft briefcase than a messenger.

Tho this is a small bag maybe something like this and use a better load bearing strap on the plastic d-rings?
Thanks! I actually have already ordered these, a pack of 60 pulls! Hope they're okay quality, intending to replace the zipper pulls on my current bag.
Here ya go! Right now it's called Inateck, but I've seen it under different names in the past... if this link ever goes dead, try searching things like "origami tech pouch" or check the "customers who viewed this also bought" section on Amazon for the Peak Design pouch; the knockoffs often appear there.
