POWAITER Travel Backpack for Women Men, Large Carry on Backpack Flight Approved with 4 Packing Cubes & Luggage Tag, Expandable Business Weekend Luggage Suitcase Backpack for 17 Inch Laptop-Black

Easy to carry backpack. Fits overhead compartment or under seat easily! The 4 packing compartments included really help to maximize packing space! I can have enough with me for a weekend trip— including my laptop! Zippers are strong, carry straps are comfortable to wear.

When 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.

The 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.

I 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.

I use backpacks to bring what I need with me to work every night of trucking. So my gear isnt exactly for day trips as much as a night of work. But, this seems to hold up the weight of my stuff pretty nicely.

I havent used it IRL yet. My trip is mid-June so Ill update afterwards if there are any drawbacks. But from what I can tell this will be perfect for my needs. Im going on a European cruise, so I got this backpack to be my (hands free) carry-on that I can use to carry a change of clothes & shoes, any essentials that Ill need until I get access to my luggage, plus the normal stuff that I put in my carry-on (magazines, snacks, headphones, etc.) Once Im on the ship I will be unpacking everything & the luggage will go under the bed. So I wanted something that would hold everything I needed but be easy to get in and out of during my flights & layovers. This one has all the benefits & convenience of both a backpack and a suitcase. I love, love, love that the straps tuck into a pocket on the back and are COMPLETELY out of the way when not in use. One thing that drives me nuts when using a backpack is the straps that are always hanging around. I have to be careful not to trip myself or others on those straps when I dont have the backpack on my back. That will not be an issue with this backpack. Once the straps are tucked away the bag is like a little suitcase. Those straps will not be sticking out from under the airplane seat creating a trip hazard. There is a padded handle on the top and on the side so its easy to carry when its not on your back. The multiple pockets will make it easy to pack and stay organized. I wont be carrying a laptop on my trip, but that seems to be a good feature, well protected. The packing cubes are a bonus. I have other packing cubes that I use in my suitcases (checked luggage) & Ill use these with the backpack. The USB cord attachment will make it easy to charge my phone without having to hold the battery pack and the phone. The battery pack will be inside the bag and attaches to a cord inside. Then on the outside theres a USB port to plug in the phones charging cord so you can charge the phone while holding it. That seems to be a common feature in a lot of these backpacks and I think thats great. I havent used it yet while its full and gone trekking through the airport. But with the padded straps, the chest strap to keep it balanced, and the hip padding, it seems like itll be as comfortable as a backpack could possibly be. The trim on the bag makes it look sharp, too. Its not just a blah looking backpack. Im really getting excited for my trip now and having this bag will make my flight a more pleasant experience. I hate flying and Im constantly going in and out of my bag getting stuff to distract me from my claustrophobia. This bag will be easy to open and give me quick access to whatever I want.

This is an incredible piece of luggage engineering!!! I have never seen such an efficient backpack in my life! It works as a backpack, a suitcase, laptop carrying case, and a toiletry bag, all-in-one and for a very reasonable price! I counted 9 zippered compartments, plus two open pockets, and a water bottle holder. Plus the bag can be expanded to be made larger. The toiletry side of the backpack has a mesh zippered compartment and a clear vinyl compartment. The laptop pocket is nice and roomy and easily accommodates my 15 inch laptop. There are three packing cubes and one cinch strap bag for a pair of shoes or other items you want to keep separate from other things you keep in the bag. It also has a pull out ID badge on the exterior of the backpack which you pull out with the metal circle diadem on the exterior of the backpack. If all that wasnt enough, you also have a USB charging port on the exterior of the bag to plug your phone or other electronic gadget into for power. Note that it doesnt come with a battery pack, which you supply yourself. There is a zippered compartment to place your battery pack into the backpack. The USB connectors are standard USB ports, so youll need an adaptor if you charging chord for your device uses USB type C connections on both end of your charging chord. This really is an all-in-one bag and could be used to pack everything for a night or two away from home. Otherwise using this as your auxiliary bag for a flight will allow you to take a lot more items with you along with your standard carry-on luggage. This backpack even has a an exterior belt for sliding over the pull handle of your wheeled luggage if you dont want to carry it on your back. The designers really thought of everything here, and the price is outstanding for everything this bag can do! This would make an excellent gift for a graduate student or someone who is always on the go.

This bag is great for travelling. I replace my old laptop bag as I can safely travel with my laptop and still have much more space for other things and it is still considered my smaller carry on bag. Its strong and well padded and looks amazing. I really like it. My only thing about it is too many pockets at the top. I often have to play around to find the right pocket when entering from the top. Theres one or two too many zips. Otherwise I can say a bad thing about it. Its great value and I think I will keep it for a long time. My husband and I travel a lot and I definitely use it every time.

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.

This seems to be a well made pack especially for the price. All the pockets you should need. It carries well, and seems to have enough padding. I almost maxed out at tightening the shoulder straps. Im 57. This type of pack is not made for long term back packing. The shoulder straps are a convenience for occasional use. It can expanded to a bit over the allowable size.
