The bag was a good quality, but to small for what I needed. It came in three days late so I needed to go buy a small suitcase. It will be returned.

This is an amazingly versatile backpack/carry on — the seller needs to include photos of the interior to help buyers understand everything it includes — their text description is accurate, but I was blown away when I opened this thing up and saw for myself how many compartments the pack included (more on that in a moment). First off, I am well-pleased with the quality, look, and detail of this case — I didnt detect any flaws in fabric, stitching, zippers, etc. The polyester black fabric looks and feels great and the PU leather accent adds a classy touch. The pack is well padded all around — great protection for my Macbook pro laptop (the largest currently available) and the back of the pack (the part that would ride against your back when using the padded shoulder straps) has a nice, breathable mesh over the generous padding. As the seller states in their description, the shoulder straps can be tucked away and hidden with the pack if you would like to carry it around by one of the two exterior padded handles. This speaks, once again, to the versatility of this case. Included are four individual packing cubes (sellers words) — Here are the details on those: • 12 x 16 x 4 Soft-sided zippered cube with a mesh top and PU Leather trim to match outside of case • 9 x 12 x 3.5 Soft-sided zippered cube with a mesh top and PU Leather trim to match outside of case • 5 x 11 x 3 Soft-sided zippered cube with a clear plastic top • 14 x 11 Drawstring stuff sack Overall, I counted an amazing 21 individual compartments throughout this pack and 16 zippers, all of them working smoothly and flawlessly. The pack includes a zipper which can expand the depth of its largest interior compartment to about 7 deep. Another feature worth noting is the included through the case USB cable — you could keep a power bank within the case and simply plug your phone into the outside USB port on the backpack — no need to fiddle with opening the case up to top up your phone charge. This pack will definitely become my go-to backpack for flights for carrying my laptop gear and so much more! Extremely happy with this backpack and it speaks well for the Powaiter brand!

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 really like travel backpacks to use as carry-on bags. The design enables you to fit a lot and because you can wear it on your back it is easier to carry through crowded airports even when its full and kind of heavy than a small wheeled suitcase. The color of this is also really nice - a medium grey that works well for both business travel and personal use.

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.

This is perfect for those short work trips when I need my big laptop and a change of clothes. There are pockets, zippers, snaps and buckles everywhere (sounds like a song!). Its even expandable so you can add a day, or bring home a gift! The laptop slides in easily with a hook&loop strap to secure it so getting it out for airport security is easy. The other end opens completely with a full zipper making it easy to access your clothes. There is even an elastic strap to hold things in place. There is a handle on the side so you can carry it like a standard laptop case. Snaps, straps, and adjustments are the standard variety and seem adequate. It also comes with separate bags (cubes) if you really need to keep things organized. There is even a USB port on the outside that connects to your device inside-unique feature that I may never use - but it shows that the designer considered actually using this in the real world! It is actually stylish but would be nice if it came in more colors. This is a great product, very well made and highly recommended.

The Powaiter Carry-on Travel backpack is all business. It looks professional and is designed to organize and meet all of your packing needs. I love how it opens up flat like a suitcase. When you unzip the main compartment, youll see the top side has two same-sized zippered compartments -- one mesh and one waterproof. The main compartment meanwhile has a small zippered pocket for valuables and a zippered pocket where you can put a power bank to connect with a cord that leads to a USB port on the outside of the backpack for easy phone charging. The main compartment holds the 3 packing cubes and shoe bag that comes with the backpack (*note -- these are not compression bags). It should be enough space for up to a 2 or 3 day trip depending on how you tend to pack. You can expand the size of the main compartment by unzipping one of the outside zippers. The front of the backpack features a smaller compartment that has a dedicated space for a laptop and slots for pens and a phone, and a larger and a smaller zippered pocket for valuables. Theres also two zippered pockets on the outside of the front of the backpack and one zippered pocket on the bottom third of the back of the bag. So many secure pockets! Theres a side pocket for a water bottle, a strap for putting around a luggage handle and adjustable buckles to compress the main compartment and make it less bulky. The backpack can also convert to a duffel by stowing the straps away in a zippered pocket in the back and using the side handle. In terms of comfort, the back of the backpack is padded and has breathable mesh. The shoulder straps are wide and cushioned and there is a chest strap to keep the backpack from swaying. While full of really smart features, the backpack is missing two things I wish it had: a waist belt to keep the weight off your shoulders and at least one locking zipper to keep a wallet extra secure. When I packed for a 3-day trip, the backpack weighed about 17 pounds. My pet peeve when it comes to traveling is having sore shoulders from too heavy of a bag. The Powaiter carry-on backpack was comfortable enough going through an airport. However I wouldnt want to wear it for hours on end.

Plenty of space for a few days of clothes and toiletries plus extra zip area on the outside for laptop, notebook, and travel docs. Purchased the bag so I could air travel with crutches and it worked great!

This backpack zips open and closed like luggage. You put the backpack flat and unzip to flip open the top for easy packing/unpacking. There’s also a compression zipper around the backpack. I found the strap in one of the zip pockets. I counted 11 zip compartments including a hidden compartment on the back. The backpack straps can be tucked in inside a zip compartment but you cannot zip it closed when using the straps. The straps are not removable. It comes with 3 zip packing cubes of different sizes and they are not compression cubes and a drawstring shoe bag. There’s a laptop compartment inside and a water bottle or umbrella slot outside the backpack. There’s a usb charging port but you need a power bank. This backpack is a soft structure and does not have a rigid rectangle shape. I thought it was going to have a rigid shape or anti-crush but the product description does not mention either way about the structure of the backpack. I plan to use this the next time I travel. I like this but would prefer the backpack to be rigid or anti-crush. 4-28-23

Although I have not yet used this bag for travel, I was able to fit a dog bed plus 2 more smaller packages as I walked to deliver the packages to a friends house. The backpack straps are comfortably padded and can be completely hidden away in the back pocket when not used. Theres hand straps on the long and short ends of the bag to suit your carrying preference. The material is soft yet feels pretty durable. The zippers are incredibly smooth. All in all this is an exceptional travel bag, however I dont know if it would actually fit under the seat on an airplane. If used for that purpose, likely you would have to leave some space in the bag so it can be folded a little to fit under the seat.
