Big Agnes Causeway 28L

The Big Agnes Causeway 28L is a 28-litre commuter and travel backpack, weighing 1049 g, built for city and airport use rather than trail carrying - it has none of the hiking-specific features like a hip belt or trekking pole loops. A large top-loading opening gives full access to the main compartment, backed by organiser pockets for smaller items like cables, pens or a passport. A padded laptop sleeve protects a computer for commuting or working on the move, and a trolley pass-through sleeve lets the pack slide over a wheeled suitcase handle, which is genuinely useful moving through airports or train stations rather than carrying the bag separately. At just over a kilogram for 28 L, it's reasonably light for a pack with this much organisation. It suits daily commuting, weekend city trips or as a carry-on companion, not backcountry hiking.
