Looking for backpacks that could be used for a onebag like setup. So far I am considering the 5.11 rush 24 and the 5.11 COVRT 18, anyone have any suggestions? Looking for about 30L of storage.

Depending on how much you want to spend, I've found GoRuck's products to be absolutely bomb proof in the past, and their GR2 should meet your size requirements https://www.goruck.com/collections/gr2.

There are a could quirks to them though -- they unzip completely open, but are a single storage compartment design. I mention it because it's a design I absolutely love but if you are looking for a lot of interior compartmentalization maybe look elsewhere.

The biggest potential downside (side from cost) is the tacticool styling and the weight (although that weight is due to the durable fabrics). I should also note that I have bought from them several times (for myself, and then for family), but not since COVID and the consequent effects on many businesses profitability. As of when I last bought they were still well-made and we've beaten the heck out of them with no damages.

I think the main benefit to that though is in the main compartment, you can add pouches and make mini compartments yourself. I guess that kinda requires a bit more effort but they are great bags and I'd argue that it's worth it.
