Afar Backpack by Eagle Creek

Afar Backpack by Eagle CreekThe Afar Backpack is 34 litres, which is an ideal size for a day bag. Most of the time I just have my laptop and power cord, camera, a folder, and a water bottle. The extra capacity is useful for weekend trips, or for extra carryon space when I am flying.
