Zip AND luggage pass-through
1. Sherpani - convertible, has backpack straps, short and long handles, and a rolling bag pass through (but also a padded insert - not too bulky though)
2. Haiku - short & long straps, pass through, pockets & padding & pretty large size
3. Patagonia - smallest interior, has nice straps, and a pass through

Zips only:
Sail bags, several Timbuk2 totes, Lands end boat totes (with and without zips), Tumi, le sportsac, longchamp le pliage

One others love that I don't use - Lo & Sons OMG - it's too bulky for my daily needs, didn't love traveling with it. Should sell it as I never use it.....

I probably have more totes not mentioned. I did say I have an addiction ;-) but for the most part I keep and use forever, so.....
Do you have a link to the Sherpani one?

Also which Lo & Sons one do you have? https://www.loandsons.com/collection...er-travel-bags These look very similar to the Beis one I just bought, which is bulky, and I'm a little worried about that. I am still going back and forth on returning it. I like it a lot except I just wish the shoulder straps were a liiiiitle bit longer. I have the convertible mini weekender. After that arrived and I wasn't 100% thrilled is when I made this post. I SO wish my other bag hadn't fallen apart, and because it's from Ross many years ago, there is zero chance of finding another one.
