Been doing that for many trips...

So what are your questions?

Thinking if it will be better to carry a small daypack or sling bag.

But why? Just use 1 bag. It is easier to keep your eye on your luggage if you only have 1 bag to handle about rather than 2.

The sling bag will be more convenient for moving around and for keeping important items while the backpack is left in the hotel room.That what I have in mind.

I never liked sling bags. It'll always make one of my shoulders ache due to constant weight bearing down on just one shoulder. It doesn't matter if you constantly shift from one shoulder to another - both will still hurt at the end of the day. Maybe I bring too much stuff but my day bag will definitely consist of a water bottle, umbrella and power bank. These 3 are enough to kill my shoulders if I'm carrying a sling bag. I have very very tense shoulder and neck muscles so maybe it was worse for me.

I'll always bring a small backpack in my bug backpack bag when I go overseas (even with a luggage case - big backpack for laptop and stuff that I carry into cabin, smaller backpack stashed in luggage as a day pack after I check in to hotel). The smaller backpack is flattened and doesn't take up much space in the luggage when unused anyway.

I always have an additional sling bag no matter if its luggage or backpack..

At least i know my iMportant belongings are in my sling if the luggage or backpack becomes too full

my friend carries something like this around:

super useful in the city and it's not as cumbersome as a daypack. if we're heading outdoors, we definitely take the backpacks.

I see. I just have a small packable backpack for use during the day. The good thing about small backpacks is that you can carry it on your back for max comfort, or in front for security, and you can even carry it with 1 strap slung across your shoulder like a sling back. The best of all 3 worlds.

I think sling bag is safer. At least you can see it. Backpack is carried behind. You will never know if your stuff is being stolen by professional thief.

My friend haversack was cut and her valuable stolen at Chakchuchak market in thailand. It was nicely cut, one straight line horizontal cut across her backpack but no one notice. Even my friend didn't feel anything.

if stuffs are heavy i would use a day backpack (e.g small backpack) otherwise will use the sling bag. always carry with bags in front especially in crowded places

Am looking to buy a backpack for travelling, planning to use it as a substitute for a small-med luggage as I usually bring quite a lot of clothes overseas.
Any brands or bag recommendation ?

Osprey is very reliable.

 

[butterbarter]

Maybe their full-weight ones, but not the lightweight ones. I have an ultra-light one (Osprey Hornet), and one of the seams tore while I was traveling. I had to sew it back (luckily, I always bring a small sewing kit). Now I'm going to try another bag.

so sorry to hear that. the stitching came undone or the material tore?

what are you looking at next?

 

[butterbarter]

The material. I burned the frayed edges to seal the edge, then sewed it back onto the seam.

Not sure, but I may give Decathlon backpacks a try. Cheap and light, and looks pretty strong.

lightweight and durability are generally opposite qualities isn't it?

you might want to look into climbing backpacks that are built to be light and rub against rock but they're pricey.

In the end I'm planning to buy cabinzero classic / military backpacks!
Loving the design as compared to most backpack brands.

Goruck backpacks are pretty good,though pricey but lasts for life.

The Tatonka flight case has a better back support. Similar design. For the flight case, the back carrying system can be stowed away (should you want to check it in).
