TOM BIHN Pilot, Personal Item Travel Bag, 13L, 15.5" x 11.5" x 5"

The front pockets swallow my passport, charger, and a paperback without bulging, and the whole thing slides under the seat on a cramped regional jet. I packed it for a four-day trip and still had room to spare, which honestly surprised me.

I was skeptical about the 13-liter capacity, but it swallows my 15-inch laptop and a weekend's worth of clothes without bulging. The 15.5" height fits perfectly under the seat on a regional jet, and the front pockets keep my chargers and passport within easy reach. This is the first bag that's made

The way the front pockets lay flat against the main compartment means nothing bulges out, even when I stuff them full. It slides under the seat ahead of my feet without a fight, and the 5" depth is just right for a weekend's worth of gear.
