If you want a different color, REI has the Forest Olive variant for $74 as an 'outlet' item. Wait until the 14th and you can use the 20% off promo which brings it down to $60. But you might need an REI membership to use the promo.

Thanks. I'm trying to find "the one" bag for daily use and travel but can't seem to find it because travel ones tend to be heavier duty and heavier by nature, but then there are others like this that probably can lack much more but you can't slide it over the retracting handle so you have to haul it in your bag around airport.
Ive looked into bags heavily and the feature you are looking for is called luggage passthrough or trolley sleeve or luggage sleeveAll bags below have them and are what I liked.

Cotopaxi Allpa is pricey and feature rich. There are a few other premium like timbuk2 etc. Osprey ozone, daylite 26+6, transporter which are more affordable but different features.Use the key words to find many lists on google.

I just received the holiday mailer a moment ago. I can confirm the 20% off promo is for members only. It's 20% off one full price item and 20% off one outlet item.

I did a TON of research and settled on the Alpaka elements pro. Worth a look. They offer Xpac material on their regular site. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHWDT9N8

I went with the Wexley Nanaimo for similar use cases. Its on sale now for $120 + the promo code HDP20WXY brings it down below $100.
