Maelstrom 40-50L Carry on Backpack,Travel Backpack for Men Women,17.3 Inch TSA Flight Approved Laptop Backpack with Hidden Shoe Bag, Expandable Large Computer Business Suitcase Backpacks-Black

I really hoped this bag would meet my expectations. Honestly it’s got too many pockets. Watch out for SAND! They send me a USED BAG! There is sand in external shoe compartment! Plus one of the external bag clips is torn, someone tried to fix it with blue treads, it caught my attention right away. This is just unacceptable, if I wanted to buy a used bag I would buy a used bag. Also real color of the bag is way darker than advertised.

I can fit my costumes head, hands, tail, and theres still lots of room for a jacket, water, brushes, and everything I need. very sturdy bag too.

I had to replace my high sierra backpack that I used as a carry-on for air travel for several years. This bag was the perfect replacement. It is expandable. It has bags inside the bag to hold toiletries, shoes, etc. It holds a laptop. Although I cannot confirm that it can accommodate a 17 inch since I have not tried it yet. It survived a roundtrip flight and fit in the overhead. I have yet to test if it is waterproof. I like the outside zippers and little pockets. The padded straps and back pad are a plus and very comfortable. The only thing I wish it had was a longer across the chest strap and it lacks an across the waist strap. This bag can get very difficult to manage when it is packed to capacity. I thought I packed too much into the bag as the seams were starting to show while stretching to zip it close, but it is fine.

This bag is perfect for a flight nanny! Cant wait to put it to the test next week when I fly out for our new puppy! ❤️

It almost fit everything that was in my checked in bag. Its very sturdy, love the different pockets that you can use to get organized better. You can expand it or make it smaller - when I first got the bag I didnt realize how big and bulky it was but its definitely a plus if youre traveling and need to fit in as much things as possible. I cant wait to use it when I go shopping in the trade show I go to <3

An incredible amount of pockets and padding. Too much for me, so I opted for a simpler one. It could be hard to keep this to carry on size. The filler between material in the main compartment was bunched and twisted. I decided to go for the Powaiter pack.

Great backpack for travel

Holds more than I imagined for international travel.

I travel a lot and am always in need of a really great backpack that is well organized and has a lot of space. I am so happy to have found this one! It is very well-made of high quality materials. I love the packing cubes and all of the compartments. The zippers are great. Althoigh it holdsba lot amd can gwlet pretty heavy, it is comfotable to wear. The straps are nicely padded. I highly recommend this backpack. It is well worth the price.

Update: 1 month into cross-country trip (have not even gotten into asia), the shoe bag ripped. One hook off the top ripped off, and half of the bottom part of the bag is ripped. My shoes would fall right off. I did not keep their warranty information... unhappy, hence taking star off. The backpack is compartments GALORE!! So so many compartments for different uses, making it easy to stay organized during travel. You dont have to pull out everything just to get to an item you need. You can put smaller things in the smaller compartments and other stuff in other compartments. I cant express how much I love this backpack. We are going to go backpacking in Asia this summer, and I am so pumped to use this!! Theres a pocket for your portable charger, and you can run the cord out of the backpack to charge your phone or ipad. Theres a SHOE BAG to store another pair of shoes!!!! No need to stick your dirty shoes in a plastic bag next to all your clothes. You can hide the backpack straps to make checking it easier. So many good things to say. It is well worth the price. There are travel backpacks out there with only like 3 or 4 pockets that are $200-$300. Some are heavy-duty with thicker material which is not as suitable for overseas traveling (weight limit and all). This is really worth the price. I love it!!
