ESTJ .....

Definitely try the WF. I have a ballistic WF and I was pleasantly surprised how much I can fit in it. I last packed 7 shirts, 4 pants, underwear, socks, pair of soft star runamocs and a 15 MBP (in...

Love the idea of the cache with rails. How about a cache with rails system in the western flyer and tri-star?

Thanks for the info on the dyneema Synapse. I wanted a smaller backpack to go with the shoulder carry. I use a padded sleeve right now with my 15" mbp.

Lol. @jannilee, I agree. I'm waiting for a dyneema WF with a wasabi interior myself.

Thanks, Lani. I was lucky enough to score a black ballistic roll/sleeve WF on eBay and let me just say OMG! It fits so much in it. Like a lot of people, I packed it wrong just to see what this...

Thanks, everyone. It looks like I'm just going to have to pick one and do a test pack for my various scenarios. Depending on what I find, I'll either keep or do an exchange.

3-4 days clothes packing for me would be 2 pants, 4 shirts, underwear, socks, pjs. Work is business casual so I don't have to worry about heavy suits, just the MBP.

Looks like a great weekend project. Looks like I may hit the art and/or hardware store for supplies.

Thanks, aryabird. It's nice to know carrying it isn't bad and my worry about a forced check-in shouldn't be an issue. JIC, I'll have to think about the bag-in-bag idea. Another excuse for me to start...

I'm 5'4" and my travels are usually for 3-7 days, both domestic and international. I have a MBP retina 15 laptop, and, as a software developer who can work anywhere, the MBP tends to be my personal...
