My 26 has been great because I don't have a bag-o-medical crap that is easily breakable hanging off a smaller bag. Especially during cold weather season.

My load out isn't crazy but I don't care how minimalist you pack theres a limit to how small you can go.

n=trip length
Clothes
n+2 underwear
1 white t per fly day
1 pair black socks per fly day
n+1 white socks
n+1 metal/dirtbike T shirts. They double as gym shirts
2 pairs gym shorts
1 pair jeans or shorts depending on season
1 Hoodie fall/spring/or cold destination
1 pair gym shoes that are also my layover walking shoes
Spare uniform shirt/pants on 3 day or longer trips

Standard toiletry bag. Nothing huge. I use hotel shampoo/ soap.

I've summoned papa smurf and taken a delay over this.

Something smaller sized people do forget is bringing the same stuff, if you are bigger so are your clothes. My size 17 running shoes take up a lot of bag space.

Me and my wife have almost identical packing lists for going on the road for motocross races.

My stuff takes up 2x the space. Even with her having normal bras, sports bras and more shoes.

She's 5'5" 135# with size tiny feet
I'm 6'5" 230# with 17EE shoes.
