I have been on a quest to find the best backpack for my business travels. One that is . . .

  • checkpoint friendly
  • carry-on size (preferably 22" x 14" x 9" or under)
  • distributes weight well so I can wear it while riding my motorcycle

and has enough capacity to carry . . .

  • 15.6" notebook (~7 lbs.)
  • 10" tablet
  • projector (10.2" x 7.4" x 2.8")
  • charger x3 (notebook, tablet, phone) and cables x 5 (various types and lengths)
  • wireless mouse, compact digital camera, belkin mini surge protector
  • flash drives x 3
  • hygiene (toothbrush, paste, deodorant, lip balm, etc.)
  • clothing for 3-5 days (I use the bundle method to pack, so it takes up less space)

I've looked at some tactical bags like the 5.11 Rush 24; and I've looked at some daypacks like the North Face Overhaul 40. Unfortunately, none of these seem to fit the bill.

If I could fit all of this in one carry-on size bag, I'd be ecstatic. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a bag that I use to fit in the saddlebag of my Harley Davidson Flhx Street Glide.  It is called The Bagger.  I bought it like a million years ago at http://www.harleybags.com.  I don’t know if they still sell it though.  It looks like they only sell Harley motorcycle custom parts now.
