As a backstory, I have some things I have to take with me everywhere I go. More like life support than EDC. I’m looking for something small that fits my personality (rugged, canvas, leather, etc). If I have to carry this stuff with me everywhere I go, I want to at least like what I’m carrying this shit in.

I’ve been searching for a small (7L-14) waxed canvas backpack. Can’t really seem to find what I’m looking for that’s not a sling. I’ve tried a variety of slings. I literally have a box of them. None really fit in a comfortable way. I’ve been using an Osprey Syncro 12 for many years now, and it’s pretty damn good from a purely functional perspective. But it’s not the atheistic I would prefer. At least outside of summer. I wish fjallraven made a singi in something under 20L, but that doesn’t seem to be a thing.

I’m hoping the Reddit community here might be able to point me in some directions Google has failed at.
