POWAITER Carry on Backpack, Large Travel Backpack for Women Men Fits 17 Inch Laptop, Airline Approved Luggage Suitcase Backpack with 4 Packing Cubes for Business, Weekend or Overnight Trips-Black

Wow, this ended up being a good decision. I debated on whether to even get this because we had two similar size suitcases that met our typical travel needs. But I thought the backpack feature, when needed, would make carrying multiple bags a bit easier. We prefer not checking our bags so travel size was important. We unboxed this and the next 10 minutes was an adventure hunt. There are pockets after pockets and someone obviously put a lot of thought into this bag. This bag will now be our first choice when packing for a short trip. Very very pleased with it.

There are so many pockets and compartments! I looked at it for a few minutes and was amazed at the number of storage options. I went back to it and found a bunch more pockets I didnt see the first time. I feel like when I have it packed and ready to travel, I will have to practice finding my stuff a few times before I go. Starting with the front, there are two zippered pockets. One is about 8x8, the other one slants a little and tapers from a little under 8x8 to a little under 8x7. When you unzip the main cover, there is storage for a laptop. It is padded and 12x14. It is supposed to hold up to a 17 laptop. Facing that in the same compartment are two zippered pockets, two unzippered pockets, and two pen slots. The two regular pockets and one of the zippered pockets will hold my plus-sized phone. One of the zippered pockets is large and will hold a hardcover book or other items. The other zippered pocket is mesh and will hold office supplies, charging cords, aux cables, earphones, etc. The next large section is the full size of the bag. It has straps to hold clothing in place and will allow you to open this pack like a suitcase. It has a long narrow mesh pocket on one end. The other side pocket introduces a pretty nice feature. On the outside of the suitcase, there is a USB charging port. The other end of the USB connection is in this pocket. You can put a power bank in this pocket, plug in the USB, and run a charging cord from your phone to the USB port on the outside of the suitcase. Also in this area on the opposing side are two more zippered pockets. One is clear plastic and is a little under 12x9. The other is mesh and is almost 12x7.5. I guess this is the point in an infomercial where I should say Wait! Thats not all! On the back is a heavily padded pocket that the description said is to hide valuables. It will actually easily hold a 20 oz. bottle of water, and I think it would keep it cold for a while. There is also a full length padded pocket that runs the entire length and width of the bag. This is where you hide the backpack straps if you are not using them, but it will hold a lot of other stuff. So basically, the back of this bag is heavily padded where it meets your back. And if that isnt enough, they include 4 extra bags to pack things in. One is a zippered bag that has mesh on one side and opens all the way up when you lay it flat. There is a small bag that is see-through plastic on one side and apparently is for toiletries. There is also a shoe bag and a second zippered bag that has mesh on one side and is approximately 12x10. There is one additional pocket on the outside of the bag, and also a handle to carry it with if you choose not to carry it like a backpack. It is padded, as are the backpack straps. There is also a strap on the back of a bag to slide over the extended handle on a rolling suitcase if you want to go that route. This bag has pretty nice fabric inside and out, and all the zippers work very well. The suitcase is expandable from 7 inches high to 9 inches high. As you can tell, there is an incredible array of storage pockets and compartments. I may be inexperienced in this area, but I have never seen a bag like it. The only con I can think of is I wont remember where I put all my stuff. Its a great bag.

Great bag for a 2-3 day overnight trip especially for when you dont want to drag around heavy wheeled luggage. The outer material is high quality and feels nice to the touch. It is expandable and provides an additional 2-3 inches of room for when you need it. The backpack straps can be hidden/stowed away when not being used. There are other convenient features like a laptop storage area, powerbank storage with built-in charging cable, water bottle holder, clothing storage/organizer cubes, and shoe storage bag.

I bought this bag to bring as a personal items on my flight and Im impressed. Its so easy to pack my essentials and comfortably carry it. The straps enable me to bring it without feeling as if its ripping burdening down my shoulders. I love that it has an area where I can charge my phone and I can switch the ways I carry it. Its a great tool for persons who travel a lot!

Super comodo para viajes cortos ..... elegante y economico....

What an incredible bag. The quality feels excellent and durable. Puts my other bags to shame. It has a good strap on the back that lets in sit firmly on top of my roller carryon bag. The backpack straps slide nicely into a zipper pocket on the top of the bag so they arent in the way when used as luggage. Many zippered pockets on the outside both front and back as well as inside. Expands with a zipper like regular luggage. Two separate compartments inside. One for a laptop and the larger for clothes, etc. Included is 4 zipper bags for organizing clothes, toiletries, shoes. Great looking. Incredibly versatile. Best bag that I have ever had.

This large backpack is perfect for traveling when you don’t wish to have an extra suitcase. It has a large main compartment suitable for clothes and shoes. There are three compartments on the exterior front, plus two more compartments on the underside. The lower ends of the back straps detach and can be stored in the upper underside compartment for times when you’d prefer to carry the backpack like a suitcase. The main compartment opens fully (like a suitcase), making packing easy. The product includes two cases that fit in the main compartment for organizing loose items. One unusual aspect of this backpack is how the back straps connect to the backpack. The upper ends of the back straps are where you would expect them, but the lower ends attached to the front, rather than the back, of the backpack. This means when using only one strap, the backpack will tend to sway from your body. Other than this oddity, the product is well designed and well manufactured with quality zippers and materials. I am glad I ordered it and look forward to using it this summer on vacation.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this convertible carry-on bag/backpack. It is nicely compact for storage and with the expansion option, opens up large enough to hold all I would need for a weekend trip with an easy to carry option or straps to make it a backpack. Everything is laid out perfectly with this bag. The first photo is the overall view from the front. Second photo shows the nice detail provided on the side pocket for a water bottle with the elastic sewn in (it is on both sides) to make sliding your bottle in easy. Such a simple but appreciated addition! Third and fifth photos show open view of the bag unzipped with the extra bags on the right hand side. They store nice and flat if you don’t need them but, are very handy to have in the event you do need some extra storage along the way when traveling. The 4th photo shows one of the interror side zippered pouches that holds the port for plugging in a power bank. This is my first bag to offer this and I love having this option. The connection is conveniently located on the outside of the bag to connect my device to. The front zip out section to hold a laptop is nicely padded and offers multiple compartments for paperwork. I also love how the straps to convert to a backpack are hidden inside one of the back pockets. The ease with which to make the conversion is perfect. The 7th photo includes a marker to show how deep one of the outside pockets is - my fingertips are at the spot where the brown paper is resting. A small detail, but it is not common to see and is a nice feature. The last photo shows the handle which is thickly cushioned and covered with breathable fabric. The shoulder straps are also very well cushioned, sturdy, and attached securely. I will be breaking this in on my next weekend trip and look forward to seeing how it performs in action!

This backpack checks most of the important points: very light, spacious (finally, made with a larger laptop in mind) and padded, with 4 packing cubes, good secure straps, strong secure straps, quality zipper, easy to carry even when fully packed . Navy is a good color, neutral. I often go on car or plane trips, and take luggage seriously. Recommend.

The bag opens up to make it easy to pack for overnights or for trips. You can shrink it down to fit easily on a plane as well. I’m very happy with it.
