Extra Large Carry on Backpack, Airline Approved 50L Travel Backpack with 3 Packing Cubes for Men Women, Waterproof Expandable Overnight Weekender Luggage Daypack Suitcase Duffel Bag，Gift for Travelers

I got this just in time to possibly be taking a flight to Texas. Definitely gonna see if they will let it go as a carry on. Plenty of storage space inside without opening the extra zipper. If you pack smart, you can easily fit 7-10 days worth of clothes in it. I cannot say for sure if I got the 3 extra cubes, I know I got the big one for sure but I didnt open it to see if the others were inside it. Moving the shoulder straps in and out was easy. Bring on the travel.

Just took my first ever carryon trip ever.. This thing is so ingeniously designed, I easily had everything “at hand” for a four day trip!! No more checked bag fees for me!!

I travel a lot. Id just had a typical large Jansport-style bag stolen in Milan, so was very excited to see other bags available for free through Amazon Vine in return for a fair and honest review. Especially large ones, as I often will live out of my backpack on trips, taking lots of tech (laptops, camera, chargers) plus some clothes and whatnot. Ive used it on a few trips now...... and to be honest, Im not as excited about this as most people. Its still a decent bag, just not sure its quite what Id want as a travel bag. A lot of qualms with it. It feels smaller. The main issue is its basically one space. The side pockets are very thin, so dont hold much. And the main space, after expanding it with the zipper, isnt very flexible beyond its base shape. if you pack it decently full in the main compartment, you cant put much of anything in the side pockets. So to me, for all intents and purposes, its just one space. Likewise I tried out the packing cubes. After all, I travel with clothes... so you want somewhere to put dirty clothes... and it would be helpful to have a separate space for clean clothes too. But these arent cubes, but thin bags. The largest is 2 inches wide. Literally, like I measured. Theyre mesh on one side rather than enclosed, so they wont do much for storing dirty clothes. Looks like I could put my laptop in there... but again, its not truly separate, so theres not all that much point. No strap or such to these smaller bags so that I could take it out quick to head out from my hotel or such. And not matching the length/width of the bag, they steal quite a bit of extra space in the main(/only) compartment when using them (the medium bag is quite square... the large and small are much more non-square rectangular, but they still take up a lot when you start stuffing them with things. The large would fit fine with the laptop... but again, not truly separate anyways. A small part of the reason there isnt a ton of space is the compartment the backpack straps are in. Whether theyre in them or not, the compartment still takes up space. It just seems more like a gimmick (likewise the packing cubes) rather than anything hugely useful. Likewise, I quite often do like to travel thin. So having a carry on sized backpack sounds useful. But then I remember that the cheapest airlines, Spirit and Frontier in the US (theres similar in the UK) allow only a personal item, like a backpack. So youll have to pay for a carry on like this. Which, considering these seems to hold barely what my regular backpack did (all that stuff mentioned above)... and quite a bit less than my carry on (more pairs of clothes, including dirty clothes in a separate enclosed zipped pocket inside)... and doesnt have the large secondary pockets of a decent normal backpack, nor the ability to open it up fully like a normal carry on bag... or the wheels both often have... it just doesnt feel nearly useful/flexible for my travel needs, whether driving long distance, taking a bus, or flying, or just going for a few days at family or friends in-state. It hasnt worked well so far, and after a few trips, Im convinced its more than just getting used to the changes. And the final knock was, while it felt decently made... with very minimal flexibility in the bag shape (once the expansion zipper is unzipped) (you put a video camera in the backpacks side pocket, the pocket bulges out easy enough... on this one theres very little give to do that... you really can only put small things in those side pockets)... and when it does inevitably strain in shape... while Im hopeful the material will hold up a while (not entirely certain on that either)... the zippers seem to strain a great deal. Theyre well made, but the strain doesnt make me think theyll hold up that long. (What else did I like? The straps were a welcome soft/cushioned feel compared to my old backpack. And the belt straps are nice to further secure your stuff. The color is definitely nice. But thats about it) $46 (the price it was listed at when I got it) is alright. But given that it doesnt wind up having nearly as much space as it promises in the end, at least for me, often a heavy-packed traveler (or else someone living thin out of a bag)... I wouldnt be interested in purchasing the bag in the future. Ill probably use it on occasion, but Ill be looking for a better bag, perhaps a typical backpack with 2 main pockets, a decent side pocket, and a small doc side pocket. Or something else innovative. I had hoped this would be it. But it just didnt do it for me. Hope you can find what you need, but this wasnt it for me. Its between 3 and 4 stars for me, but Im going 3 because I really tried to like this, but have significant concerns with its utility and even durability when used for heavy traveling.

The blue one is nice, my favorite color. I love all the compartments to keep me organized. It’s big enough and room to expand if needed. Seems durable. I’m ready for a trip now!
