Traveling Kit: Solgaard Venture

Short blog post; mostly just to get back in the habit of blogging again. I’ve been traveling A LOT this year, and finally decided to invest in a quality backpack for short business trips. Most of my trips are typically 2-3 days, so my goal was to get down to a single bag that would work for both luggage and office.

After a lot of searching, I settled on the Solgaard Venture; although it expands and comes with a closet system, I haven’t needed it for the brief trips I’ve gone on. The massive luggage pocket combined with a compression packing cube is plenty for 2-3 days of clothes, including a travel CPAP and toiletries. The separate work pocket holds a 16″ MacBook, an extra monitor, an iPad, a Kindle, and all the cabling I need. There’s also a few hidden sleeves and pockets for USB charging and two water bottle holders. It’s been nice to hop on to a plane, pull out the gear I need for the flight, and toss this into the overhead compartment.

Feels sturdy and seems worth the investment.
