Simplifying my travel packing comes so easy with Lo and Sons OG Bag. Having something that is versatile, water resistant nylon and with plenty of space, is paramount for me. I am constantly on the go and need something that sorts my items and is sleek in design. Not only is this bag beautiful, but it is easy to store and easy to carry. The OG bag is a must!
I have long been a fan of Lo and Sons products and have been using their Claremont Camera bag for 3+ years. The durability of their products is incredible and this led me to want to try the Lo and Sons OG Bag. I needed a bag for travel that worked as a carry-on option, over night bag, gear bag, etc. I love that the OG Bag fits the bill for all my needs. I think the market was due for a bag that is as versatile as this one.
You do not have to be a big traveler to appreciate this bag. I use it for a multitude of situations, but most commonly as a carry-on because it just fits everything I need so nicely. However, if you are a traveler and frequently on the go, you will love this bag even more. My favorite feature is the handle sleeve that allows me to slide the bag over my suitcase.

Lo and Sons OG Bag: The Overnight/Quick Weekend Bag
The Lo and Sons OG Bag is the perfect size for an overnight or even quick weekend getaway bag. I have tested the OG for both packing scenarios and it works out perfect. The key to packing for an overnight or weekend getaway in one smaller bag and not overdoing it, is realizing that you do not need to bring everything but the kitchen sink. Just pack essentials. If you have not word something in the last six months, you probably will not wear it on your overnight getaway, so don’t take up space with nonsense.
Of course essentials are different to everyone, but here is what you can find in my bag:
- clothing for the number of days you are gone
- pj’s
- laptop and charger
- book
- small camera (you never know what you will find)
- small toiletries bag
- tooth brush
- toothpaste
- brush
- deodorant
- shampoo and conditioner (if where you are going does not already have it)
- hair tool(s)
- make-up
- face routine
- face mask
- extra pair of shoes
- socks
- umbrella
- medications
Lo and Sons OG Bag: The Equipment Bag
Because the Lo and Sons OG Bag is nicely padded and water resistant, I have used this bag to carry equipment for local shoots in my area. What I like to do is pack my primary Canon in my Claremont bag, then place the bag inside the Lo and Sons OG Bag. From there I can fit the rest of my stuff in my bag around it in smaller padded cubes to keep them extra safe.
- laptop
- additional lenses
- additional camera bodies (as needed)
- business cards
- back up memory cards
- chargers
OG Bag: The Business Bag
If you find that you are a business person, the Lo and Sons OG Bag is perfect. I love the laptop compartment and the extra pocket in front of it for storage as well as the generous space in the middle of the bag. You can easily pack everything you need for the day, including lunch and gym clothes if that is your style. I have found that I always have room leftover when packing for this scenario. This is good in case you need extra space for something you need to bring with you that I have not listed below. I recognize every business situation is different.
- laptop and charger
- ledger
- pens
- business cards
- reusable water bottle
- lunch
- umbrella
- sports clothing for the gym
- tennis shoes
- phone charger
- medications

- snack
- book
- planner
- pens
- paper
- passport
- business cards

- chap-stick
- deodorant
- reusable water bottle
- snacks
- change of comfy clothes to put on in flight
- neck pillow (it is smaller and fits into my bag, I have to inflate it)
- medications
Final Thoughts
Retrieved from Lo & Sons
I have long been in the market for a bag that I would truly love and the Lo and Sons OG Bag truly fits the bill for me. It has everything I need for all the situations I have managed to use it for and its an extremely high quality bag. Normally I would not look for a carry-on bag, but a suitcase rather. However, often I pack too much in a suitcase and having this bag has allowed me to really focus on what I actually need to bring and what is just extra. In ways, it has simplified how I run my business and travel.
As a big fan of Lo & Sons for the last 3+ years, I can say I am overly impressed with their products and they have me for life. I am hooked on their products. You know how when you find a brand you love, you stick by them? This is how I feel about Lo & Sons.
