Backpacks have become my carry-on luggage of choice for air travel. They are great for carrying hands-free and are a good size for stowing under the seat in front, but a few that I have used are obviously optimized for upright packing and unpacking. This is a little inconvenient for travel as putting stuff in a pack is easy, but accessing it, not so much. I actually did not know what to expect from this item. I was attracted to the laptop storage. I was hoping it would make removing and stowing a laptop easier than with other backpacks. It definitely does that. There is a dedicated laptop compartment that is accessible in the most convenient way from under an airline seat. In and out on a plane is going to be much easier than any other pack I have used. Better still, this pack is more like a soft-sided suitcase. The “lid” is secured on three sides by a zipper like a hard-sided suitcase I have. It is also expandable (a couple of inches in depth). It is just a tad smaller than my hard-sided case (usually stowed in the overhead), but it should be easy to pack whatever I need for short trips. It will also be easier to access and unpack than a traditional backpack. I am so used to using a backpack that I just live with the existence of the straps when the pack is not on my back. This pack has a pocket to stow the straps, and has two handles for carrying, if desired, like a…well…like a suitcase. This feature eats up some precious cubic inches of packing volume, but I know it will be nice to be able to get the straps out of the way in planes. The packing cubes have yet to be put to use, but I can see them making packing and unpacking more orderly than a traditional backpack. The suitcase form factor of this pack is very desirable compared to the deep and narrow access of traditional backpacks. The packing cubes are going to work well with this design. I can’t wait to put this pack to its first use.

Ive used these a couple times for domestic flights without any issues. But Ive also used this about a dozen times for travelling by car. This bag is perfect for travelling with a laptop and 3-5 changes of clothing. The versatility on hanging this on luggage or as a backpack are very welcome. The quality of the seams and zippers are good. Ive dropped the bag a few times and there was no damage to my laptop nor the luggage. Very well thought out and highly recommended.

This backpack has any compartments and pockets and converts into a soft-sided suitcase. It feels durable and has expandable storage and four packing cubes. It is very spacious, including a pocket for wet items and a pocket for a water bottle. I also like that it is water resistant. I do wish it had a waist strap, as only having a chest strap means I could be carrying a lot of weight on my shoulders. Having a shoulder strap would have also been helpful. This will be a very handy bag for trips where I wont be walking far. I look forward to taking it on my next trip.

I got this for my daughter who regularly travels with an incredible amount of baggage. She badly needed this in addition to the monster sized cases that she has to check in. She reports finding it to be very useful for her carry on bag. She likes the packing cubes and the fact that it is expandable. She also likes that she can stash her laptop in it. She doesnt have much use for the built-in charging port.

Love it went in a quick trip from Palm Springs to Sacramento to see my granddaughter in a play! This was so easy to go without waiting in the baggage line!

This is a really great bag for travel. It can be carried by the handle or converted to a backpack. We are flying in the near future and this is going to be my teenage sons carrying on with supplies and clothing for at least 2 days of travel. There’s zippered compartment galore. We’ll probably use those for snacks, phone, souvenirs, chargers, etc. There are also packing cubes, a shoe bag, a place for a laptop, etc. I feel like this bag maximizes all the space. Honestly it will probably take a few trips of packing before you organize and remember where you put everything. (But saying this in a good way!). I like how wipeable the outside feels. Simple stylish look to it overall. Nice zippers and straps. Spot for bag ID or tag attachment too on front metal ring. There’s even a USB charging port on the outside that is attached to an interior cord to charge a device in your bag. The only thing I’m not super crazy about is the product name tag on the front. But they’re getting their name out there. Excited to use this. It will provide ample space and organization for shorter trips or as a carry on in addition to checked baggage. 5 out of 5 ⭐️ on this bag!

Best Travel Bag Ive Ever Owned. This Bags Features Just Keep Going and Going. --------------------------- BOTTOM LINE: 1. I highly recommend this product. 2. The current price of ~$46 is worth every penny. LIKES: - Expandable in stages. - Pockets and more pockets. Inside, outside, even the padding for the backpack opens as a zippered pocket. - The so-called packing cubes for organizing items in the backpack. Just awesome. - The power bank pocket. This doesnt hold my huge 30000mAh power banks, but easily holds all travel-legal power banks. - USB charging port on the backpack. - Stowable backpack straps. Very clever how they stash away instead of flopping around driving me crazy. - Very comfortable. The padding is first-rate on the back and on the straps. - High quality smooth double ended zippers. - I absolutely love how everything gets its own place. Nothing will move around inside this backpack unless you completely ignore the awesome storage system that comprises this backpack. - Its a squared-style backpack. I cant really tell you why this is so important to me, but it just works. A normal backpack has odd angles and doesnt allow you to use all the space efficiently. This backpack certainly does all me to use all the space efficiently. - 5-star reviews are not something I hand out all that often. In this case 5 stars is well deserved. DISLIKES: - None at all. UPDATES: None at this time. I will update this review with any changes or important additions should any arise.

I’ll have to admit the cubes for luggage are more of a useful feature that I may rarely use, with laptops shifting to 16 inches there isn’t many options when you need a multipurpose backpack. Travel cubes are carefully designed to optimize your bag to keep it more balanced compared to just throwing clothes into it. What I really love about this bag is the pockets are well constructed, there isn’t any weird pocket sag when you put a 150W laptop power adapter into it and the bag itself works amazingly well. Build quality of the bag could of used some extra support for the straps for extra durability, however I’m likely in the smaller customer base who uses desktop replacement grade laptops. Overall this meets my requirements for a travel backpack, it handles a desktop replacement laptop perfectly and you can still squeeze in a 13 inch laptop with a sleeve with your clothes when you need to isolate your work vs personal gear while traveling.

Update 6/3/23: My daughter took a short trip and gate checked her backpack. When she picked it up, the entire top seam had blown out. There was no sign that the bag was mistreated, it looks like the seam just totally failed. Looks like I need to buy another backpack before her international trip in 3 days. Big disappointment! I like to use a backpack instead of a suitcase for shorter trips, and I have one that I really love. I was tired of my daughter borrowing it, so she needed her own for an upcoming international trip. This bag has everything! All the right pockets, including a secret compartment on the back for to keep your wallet and phone secure but easy to reach. The travel cubes help pack efficiently, and allow you to see contents easily. Theres a shoe or laundry bag as well as a TSA-friendly transparent cube for toiletries. All the zippers and straps check out, stitching is good and fabric is high quality. I could do without the faux leather trim, which looks a bit cheap, but overall this backpack is well made and a fantastic value. Easily holds everything you need for 4-5 days, with room for things you pick up on the trip! Use it solo or in conjunction with your rolling suitcase, where you can easily strap it to the handle.

The simple elegant design hides the amazing versatility. Back pack straps hide neatly away so they stay put when stowing in an overhead bin. Ample space for all the day trip becomes. So many zippered pockets , not sure I’ve found them all.
