Monos vs Carl Friedrik: Complete Personal Item Bag Review & Comparison 2025

In this video I'm comparing three personal item bags that I've actually used on multiple trips - the Monos Metro Duffel that everyone raves about, and two Carl Friedrik bags that completely changed my travel game. I'll walk you through the real pros and cons of each, including why that expensive Monos bag ended up frustrating me so much that I had to find alternatives. If you're trying to decide on the perfect personal item bag that actually fits under airplane seats AND works in real life, this honest comparison will save you from making the same mistakes I did!
