Patagonia MLC

The ever popular Patagonia MLC (Maximum Legal Carry-on) has been resized to hold three to five days' worth of clothes, plus a computer. It still meets airline carry-on size requirements and is now made from all-recycled polyester materials. Hidden ergonomic shoulder straps quickly convert this soft-sided suitcase to a backpack for the carry-on traveler who hits the ground running. A separate, fully padded computer compartment protects your laptop or other fragile items from hard knocks. Inside the main compartment an internal floating divider separates clean from dirty. External zippered pockets provide easy access to travel docs and vital gear. A removable toiletry organizer has hooks for hanging off a hotel room door. Made with a 1,200-denier recycled polyester exterior and a 200-denier polyester liner; both have a polyurethane coating and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish.

The perfect bag
This bag came highly recommended by a co-worker. It immediately became my go-to for weekends away in the car as well as my carry-on bag for business trips. Without all of the parts necessary for a roller bag, I'm able to get more stuff in a "smaller" bag - plus it fits in the overhead bins of smaller, regional jets.

Definitely what I was looking for.
I had been looking for a personal traveling bag for a long time. I do a lot of weekend trips, conferences, outdoors to offices, and definitely was satisfied with the Patagonia MLC. I feel that it's is big enough for the longer trips, but I do pack very light naturally. If you're known to over back, it might be a little small for you.
