How our editors pack for two weeks with a single carry-on.
Our editors spent time with each product in everyday use: commuting, working and travelling. Here is what stood out.
Driftline Carry 35
A 35 L backpack that opens like a suitcase. Carry 35 clamshells fully open, has a lay-flat laptop compartment and fits every major carry-on sizer.
- Clamshell opening
- Lay-flat laptop sleeve
- Hidden passport pocket
- Recycled sailcloth
Driftline Cube Set
Compression packing cubes with two zips. A second zip squeezes each cube to about half its size — clothes in, air out.
- Compression zip
- Mesh vent panel
- Set of three sizes
Pocketwise Fold Charger 65
A 65 W GaN charger with folding plug adapters. One brick with swappable plug heads for four regions and three ports that share 65 W.

- Two USB-C, one USB-A
- US, UK, EU, AU plugs
The verdict
If you only pick one, start with the Driftline Carry 35. It is the most complete package here and the one we kept reaching for.
