Dinictis 40L Travel Laptop Backpack for 17 Inch Notebook, Carry on Flight Approved Suitcase Backpack, Water Resistant Weekender Business Large Daypack for Men and Women-Black

I typically fly Southwest so I usually bring a giant bag to check. With lots of flights being canceled recently, I wanted to only do carry on bags to avoid my luggage going missing or delayed. My travel is mostly for skydiving events so my parachute rig takes up my allotted overhead bin space. I also need to bring a helmet, jump suit, and other gear. My helmet is fairly bulky so finding a backpack that would fit under the seat, hold my gear, and a few days of clothes was difficult. This bag is perfect! And all the pockets is an added bonus. Durability and sturdiness are unknown at this time but it seems well built.

Im so happy with this backpack. Its really roomy and has been great for train travel. The straps are comfortable and being able to zip them away is a great feature and the padding keeps my computer and things safe. Its been hard-wearing and I know it will last me for a lot of years.

Perfect for long weekend trip. Fit shoes, few outfits and makeup

This backpack looks great and will definitely help with short travel. However, it smells so heavy of roses/perfume once its opened. I like the layout of the backpack. So, i am crossing my fingers I can get the smell out. If I can not I may be back to square one looking for another travel backpack

So far I love this pack. My laptop fits securely in its own pocket, as does my kindle, two things which have to be removed for security. Ill be able to easily store extra battery packs for quick removal, too. The number of pockets makes me very happy, the material seems sturdy, as do all zippers and clips. The extra chest strap is something I always require. I do wish it had a second side pocket, but a girl cant have everything. The expandability of the one side pocket will be perfect for drinks or an umbrella. Lots of room for easy access to things like snacks, medication, electronics, etc. The extra clip for keys is brilliant because if I lose ANYTHING, it will always be my keys. Wish it was in the biggest compartment, though. This one has big shoes to fill. It is replacing my world traveler bag. Four Europe trips, one Africa, several North America and two south American trips over 25+ years. Well see if she holds up and compares.

Used this backpack as my personal item in addition to my carry on when traveling to Hawaii for a 9 day trip. Had to pack for a wedding I was attending, outdoorsy/getting dirty things, beach trips, and casual day-to-day wear, so I had a lot to pack. But this backpack helped a TON. It was able to fit enough for probably 3-4 days of my stuff and still have room for my laptop, books and other stuff Id want for the plane. I also LOVED that the side pouch for a water bottle stretched enough to hold my 32oz Hydroflask-type bottle (no other backpack has been able to do that), and it had an additional stretchy strap that held it in place so it didnt flop around or fall out. Would highly recommend this backpack - GREAT product, and especially great for the price! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I like when pockets have two zippers so they can meet in the middle - the smaller pockets only have one so you have to take a little extra precaution to make sure nothing falls out of the smaller pocket on top when you open it up.

Im 52 and this 17 pack fits perfectly. It weighs ~4 lbs empty which seems fairly standard for this style backpack. The features I wanted were a sideopening (like a suitcase) a pocket to store the shoulder straps(in case I have to check it) and a pocket for my Ipad. In addition, this pack also has some smaller outside pockets for passport, cellphone, anything you may need to access easily. It has an adjustable holder for a water bottle with an additional strap to secure it. It also has straps to cinch the backpack tighter to decrease the fullness.A previous contributer commented that it would be better for the smaller ouside pockets to be against your back so they couldnt be accessed by pickpockets. I dont disagree but I always use a travel waist belt for my important papers so thats not an issue for me. I was looking for a backpack with a waist belt also but that typically adds another 40.00 to the cost. This backpack doesnt really shift too much when I bend over so it wasnt worth the extra expense. Im only using it in airports. If I planned to go hiking I would have looked for a much different backpack. I packed a poncho, sweatshirt, 5 pair of slacks, 7 tops, personal items, brush, ipad, essentially enough for 1+ week and had additinal space left to pack more. The stitching and zippers look like they will hold up well with heavy use. Overall, this is the pack I plan to use for a 3 week vacation next spring. Great price and well constructed. Since I havent used it yet I only gave it 4 stars but I have no doubts it will earn 5 once I travel with it. Update 3/2023 Just traveled to Cancun from North Carolina. I was able to pack enough for a week without difficulty. Some of the things I realized... I could not use the water bottle holder if I cinched the bag to make the depth smaller; theres a key holder on the inside pocket and this was great. One of the pockets on the inside was waterproof. My pack weighed 14 pounds total once I had it fully packed. Im 68 and my husband is 78 and we had no difficulty getting the pack on or walking long distances with it. The weight on our shoulders were evenly distributed and very comfortable. I absolutely loved the pocket to tuck the straps into. This feature was handy when I chose to carry the pack instead of wearing it. The small front pocket was perfect for our 1 quart liquid bag and was easily accesses.Overall I was very pleased with all the features. I will use it as a carryon for my 3 week trip to Europe since I plan to bring back gifts and will be checking a bag. I highly recommend this backpack based on its functionality and excellent price.

I bought this when Frontier airlines started being incredibly picky about personal size bags which they make you put in the bins now to see if they are small enough. They charge $100 as a carry on if they dont meet their size requirements. After multiple flights on Frontier, Spirt, and Allegiant, this bag has passed all their tests.

This backpack holds a lot of stuff. Very durable.

Quality is great, need to see how it will work in real life/travel experience.
