Ok you gearheads. Riddle me this:

is there a good backpack with a backpack?

I’m thinking something like:

near backpack has clothes, etc. outer backpack has laptop etc.

This exists for outdoors (I can put my little dayhiker on my backpacking pack), but I’m not sure if a good traveler version exists?

@todd

Osprey assumes this setup with their travel packs. You start with something like the Farpoint, then attach a Daylight Plus to the front when traveling, detach it for daypack use.

That what you have in mind?

@toddgrotenhuis How about this?

@jessekelber this is basically my outdoors setup, yes!

@patrickrhone looks promising!

@todd

Well, there you go. Same system for travel.

Looks like REI also makes one:

The Ruckpack 18 can attach to the front, and it's got a zip cover for the harness for when you need to check it.

@johnchandler sweet. I guess I didn’t realize they made good travel packs, too.
