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

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

Very nice backpack with an added bonus of packing cubes. Quality is very well-made.

The bag itself is great, but the laptop placement being in the front makes it pull on your shoulders in an awkward way for everyday use (not full for traveling).

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!

A really good carry on backpack. Lots of different pockets and compartments. Has a good padding at the back so nothing is digging into your back. One minus is the straps are kind of at a weird spot so the backpack is sort of angled weird on your back, but maybe some more adjusting the straps can fix that problem. The many compartments make packing comfortably a breeze. Very pleased!

Hello there, nice to meet you! ;o) In short, this POWAITER backpack is GREAT! The long version: This is the backpack that really COULD! Lets count the ways: Its LARGE (aka HUGE) and great size for traveling, with generous dimensions of: 14 wide x 9 deep x 20 tall. Ive always gotten black backpacks, so time for a change, I ordered a lovely navy blue one. Fabric is really sturdy, and has a denim like look. The pack is beautifully sewn as well. 21 pockets Folks! Nuf said on that one! Im a happy camper about that... I NEED those pockets when I travel! (I will confess, Im guilty of organizing so well that I lose track of what I pack! ;o) Has hidden pockets in the back of the backpack (the part that rests on your back, natch!) that contains zippered section for the well padded shoulder straps, and lower down the pack, is the all-important anti-theft (read: peace of mind) zippered pocket for your passport, and important items you dont want to lose, if stranded on your trip. POWAITER Backpack is so Well Thought Out, it even has pockets and cubes for wet items like toiletries and and icky things you dont want next to your clean clothes like shoes! Not only that, the luggage section has a 180º sturdy zipper (actually, all the zippers are quite sturdy ;o), to easily open this section flat, much like a conventional suitcase, compete with elastic straps to keep your clothes contained within. This section comes with 4 very useful packing cubes to make your travels/packing much easier. Near the front of the backpack has a large, padded, dedicated pouch for your laptop, along with extra pockets within to hold your paperwork and office items. You could squeeze in your tablet as well. And the terrific list goes on and on! This POWAITER Backpack is practically PERFECT in every way! I have only one teensy weensy wish as I travel quite a bit. One airport Im always departing from, tends to examine your electronics in much closer detail. Obviously, we all have to move quickly through TSA-- theres ALWAYS a line, right? ;o) It would be lovely to have a 180º zipper for the laptop section, to help quickly remove the electronics, without holding up that line, you know? Best of all, HAVE FUN! Give this POWAITER Backpack a try... I dont think youll regret your purchase. ************************************************** Have a superb summer coming up! ;o) Cheerio and Best of Luck in all your endeavors! Hopefully, this review was helpful.

The fact that this bag has enough compartments for my traveling needs.

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.
