> 3 dayFirstly, lets talk about the size. This backpack is perfect for carry-on luggage and is approved for flights, making it a fantastic choice for frequent travelers. Its also great for weekend trips or as a daypack while exploring a new city. The four separate packing cubes are a game changer when it comes to organization, making it easy to sort items and keep everything in its place. The luggage tag is a nice touch, allowing you to easily identify your bag on the luggage carousel. The expandable pockets are a huge plus, as they provide plenty of space for extra items such as water bottles, snacks, and even a jacket. The laptop compartment is well-padded and easily accessible, providing peace of mind when traveling with your valuable electronics. One of the things that I love about this backpack is the adjustable chest strap and hideaway shoulder straps. These features make it easy to carry the backpack comfortably, no matter how much weight youre carrying. The two padded handles also provide an additional option for carrying the backpack in a different way. The USB charging port is a real game-changer, as it allows you to charge your phone or other electronic devices on the go. This is a huge convenience, especially when youre on a long flight or bus ride and need to keep your devices charged up. Overall, I highly recommend the Powaiter travel backpack. With its large size, multiple packing cubes, expandable pockets, and convenient USB charging port, its a fantastic choice for any traveler looking to stay organized and comfortable while on the go.

> 3 dayI often travel with just a backpack because I dont like the pain of pulling a roller bag around and stressing about having enough room on an airplane to stow it. Up to this point Ive never been happy with the options Ive tried, including some expensive ones from eBags. It does come folded in half and really squished so I stuffed it with a couple pillows for a week to get it to form back to its true shape before I used it. Here is what I like about this bag: #1 It is rectangular like a suitcase so you can really fit a lot of stuff into it. #2 the packing cubes are huge and can take up almost the entire clothing compartment, thats actually nice because I always find that the cubes are more trouble than they are worth because they leave wasted space that you try to stuff full with socks and other extra clothes. #3 the zippers work really well and I like that they dont have hard metal pulls on them. I found with other bags that these can get caught up and break off. For travel bags, stiff cloth pulls are the way to go. #4 the cary handles are actually handles and not little straps that you cant use. #5 the water bottle carrier is just big enough to fit a 24oz hydroflask without the rubber thingy on the bottom. And the strap above it is in the perfect place to clip through the handle on the lid (which is important if youve ever had one of these slide out as you are putting a bag into the overhead and almost hurt someone). If you carry a big water bottle like a Nalgene, it will NOT fit in the pocket. #6 the bottom of the back of the bag bulges out slightly to fit into the small of your back so even without a waist strap it puts some of the load on your waist vs your shoulders. For anyone who regularly carries a backpack you know how important this is. Here is what I dont like: #1 The backpack straps are not as comfortable as they could be. I think they anchor too far apart to the bag so it sits further on the outside of your shoulders. With the sternum strap this fixes it a bit but without it you can get sore shoulders fast. Ive used other bags that when loaded up are fine without the sternum strap. That being said I am fairly slender by todays standards at 60 & 170lbs, if you are heavier and have a wider neck/shoulders this may not be as big of a deal for you. #2 The metal name/address tag I really dont care for, Ive had it get caught up trying to get the bag out of the trunk or under a seat and Im about ready to cut it off. It would be so much nicer if it was a stiff fabric with a little fabric tab that stuck out of the bag so you can pull it out and read it. This is not a game changer, you can decide when you get the bag if you like it or not, it will take about 5 seconds to cut it off but it is permanent, there will be no way to reattach it. #3 Im neutral on the charging cord, I dont use it and wish the bag didnt have it but its not in the way of anything so I dont really care. Overall it is my new favorite, if the size is what you need I would totally recommend it.

> 3 dayWhen the zippers started failing me on my old laptop backpack I was despairing because most of the laptop backpacks out there are made for 15” laptops and I have a 17” laptop. I had taken to just packing my 17-inch laptop in my carry-on suitcase where it was less accessible on a flight, and I would risk needing to pull it out to save it from a compulsory luggage check. Some of the smaller commuter flight planes usually don’t accommodate the larger carry-on suitcases. This backpack not only easily holds my 17-inch laptop but there is plenty of extra room for iPad, and tablets. There is also a special pocket to hold your charging battery with an easy connection port. There are many different compartments and extra packing bags included. An additional feature is the ability to tuck away the straps, so they don’t catch up on things if you are not utilizing the bag as a backpack. All the straps are adjustable and there is a zippered bag expander to make room for shopping or overnight items.

> 3 dayI’m a big fan of this pack. It’s a go anywhere, do anything sort of bag. The included packing cubes are great for keeping all of my clothes or items separated and theyre also great for keeping my clothes from popping out of the bag as much when i over-fill it. The bag itself is nice and sturdy, it’s made of a solid nylon-ish material that looks like it can take a beating. It has plenty of accessible pockets, a phone charger (you need your own power supply though) and straps on the sides to tighten your load down. The back and shoulder straps are nice and padded with a chest strap that keeps your back from getting fatigued— and it also works as a strap to attach the bag to your rolling suitcase or a rack or something like that. I really dig the front pocket too, as I’m a bookworm and i dig it when companies add a pocket for books and pens— but that’s just me. The bag is perfectly sized for travel, not too small or large, and it’s not super heavy either. It fits like ANY size laptop or tablet and keeps it nice and safe as well.

Greater than one weekI love a good backpack and this is a good one. Im the type of traveler who hates to check their luggage. Ive had enough things lost and damaged where I travel light enough to fit everything for up to a weeks travel in a carry on. Lately this has had me in a tough spot. I have either a full sized backpackers backpack that is somehow within the measurements for a carry on but is truthfully too big and a duffle bag that is too small (as well as having no usable feathers to speak of.) By appearances, this looked like a good bag to bridge the gap, and it sure does. Its a perfect size with enough room to fit (and secure) all my clothes and enough flexibility to accommodate a variety of things. Lots of pockets and zippers and different compartments. The cubes are great and will definitely come in handy. It was clearly designed for air travel and will work well enough for it that its replacing all my other luggage. Im super happy with it. The only thing will say, and this is more for clarification than a plus or minus, there is little to no rigidity to the bag, not side or back supports. This makes it easy to secure things down using the side straps but also means that although padded well, there is no other support or protection. This may dictate how you pack your bag (fragile items near the center, something firm in the back like a laptop, etc). I dont see this as a plus or minus, just a feature.

> 3 dayI like the bag it is amazing. The pockets are amazing and the organizers and size. The USB arrived damaged. I plugged my power bank and tried to charge my phone and it wont work. I wanted to return it but I am traveling and have no time. I would have recommended this bag and bought it as a gift for few friends if the USB worked. Most likely will return and look for a similar product even though I give the bag 5 stars for practicality. I deducted 3 stars due to the lack of quality check. Disappointed. So not buy if you want a USB.

> 3 dayI was amazed by all of the features of this backpack. It was well padded and had at least three ways to carry it around. My most preferred way was the shoulder straps. It took me a while to find the buckles at the bottom to attach the shoulder straps (See pics for hints). With lots of pockets and zippered compartments, it was easy to keep everything organized. I was concerned that the buckles squeeze tabs maybe a bit on the fragile side but have not encountered any issue. Also, Ive seen this design on other backpacks as well. May be the manufacturer can step up and make these buckles more robust for extra durability.

> 3 dayThe manufacturer thought of everything with this bag. I really like it. It has so many pockets that you will probably forget what all you packed in it. The material is not the thickest, but it is not as thin as all the others at this price point. This bag has features that let you know they did actual field testing or used real travelers. First, it has all of the cubes so that you can organize different items into separate compartments. You can expand the bag to a larger size. You have 4 buckle straps to help keep the bag secure. The pull-out name tag is a cool bonus. The ability to store the shoulder straps when you dont need them is genius. The strap on the back to attach it to your other luggage, fantastic. I could easily pack this bag for a 4–5-day trip and not have to deal with the crazy airline baggage check process. Hope that helps you today.

> 3 dayThis travel backpack will be my future travel bag. I have many travel bags and backpacks. But this one has the most thoughtful designs. Not only because it has many pockets and compartments but also because of the placement of pockets/compartments, the zipper locations, and the size of the pockets/compartments. Like other carry-on bags, it is expandable to accommodate more content. The included 4 packing cubes are versatile, with one for storing shoes. At this price, this a good value buy.

> 3 dayThis is a great backpack for traveling. What I like about this backpack is that is has a section that you can unzip completely and opens to a rectangular area like a small suitcase. In fact, this is what was lacking in my last backpack. It also comes with several packing cubes to organize everything. Another section unzips on the top like a regular backpack and has a pocket for your laptop and other things. The straps can be tucked in and the backpack carried with a handle. It also has a band across the back which makes it able to hook onto a suitcase you may be rolling. On one side there is a usb that you can use to charge things if you have a power bank. This backpack checks all the boxes for me including a pocket for my water bottle. Keep in mind that it looks a little bigger that most packs because it is a rectangle and not a typical backpack that is more oval.
