Vancropak Travel Backpack, 40L Flight Approved Carry On Backpack for Men & Women, Expandable Large Luggage Backpack Daypack Water Resistant Lightweight Business Weekender Bag, Black

I bought this last minute for a trip. Surprisingly, it help up very well! Sturdy carry on.

Okay so honestly the bag seems great. Easily fits a weekend worth of “ stuff.” Lots of well placed pockets and seems to be well made. I think what creeped me out a bit was when packing for our first trip using the bag…found someone else’s boarding pass. Obviously the bag had been used. Paid for new but got used.

We used these on a 2-week tour of Scotland and Iceland, where we were moving almost every day from one town to another via train or bus. The backpack straps tucked quite neatly away in a pocket for the airline flight, and could be changed over to backpack style quickly and easily. The pack was comfortable to carry and had good adjustments on the straps. The material was sturdy, zippers worked with no problems, and there were lots of pockets for keeping maps, books, tickets, and other flat items. They opened flat like a regular suitcase so it was easy to pack and unpack. Has a chest strap but no hip belt. SO MUCH EASIER to carry than hauling a suitcase by hand; I was really glad we got these. We got one blue one and one black so we could tell them apart.

We took these to Europe. We didn’t want to check bags and these really helped us. Just the right size for overhead compartments. They are a bit basic, not many useful pockets but very usable. I had this and a small backpack for my second bag.

I have only traveled once with this but no issues or complaints with sturdiness. Got this for my DC trip and held almost everything I needed. Brought a second Tavel pack mostly for when I would be out and about. It is comfortable on the shoulders, lots of room to stash stuff and I like that you can zip up the straps, helped going through TSA. Also, on the flight home the airline said any other overhead bag would need to be checked. i started to hand it over but they said this size was fine and would be enough room, YAY!

Going to be using it for a trip in September

I bought 2 of these for me and my wife before we traveled to Italy. We knew that traditional luggage would be an issue on the cobblestone streets around the country and we were right! We took a 2 week trip and had to make some serious decisions about what to take since these arent as big as our hard-case luggage. Reality is, we could have left more at home. These were perfect for plane, train and auto and expanded to hold even more. I was worried they might not hold up to the rigors of air travel when we checked our bags but never had an issue. Glad we got them and will definitely be using again!!

I bought this to use as my personal item for several upcoming trips. I completed my first trip and this bag is great! Lots of pockets, easy to access, held almost everything I needed for my one week trip! I was able to pack 2 pairs of shoes, a packing cube, several tankini bathing suits (I’m not a tiny girl) a dress, several shorts and tees. I even found room for my 3-1-1 liquid bag! Overall I’m super happy with the bag and it will be great for my next ones too. The only negative was I was wearing a cold shoulder too and the straps rubbed. If you’re wearing in warm weather clothing you might find this to be an issue. Don’t let my poor choice of traveling clothes affect your decision to buy this bag! It’s a winner!

Favorable reviews led to my purchase of this convertible soft backpack/suitcase. It impressed with sturdy zippers, useful zip compartments, the pretty cyan color, and expansion capability. I would buy again. Boyfriend & I used as joint carry on for “essentials” for 2 weeks in Europe, using packing cubes (bought separately) then checking one shared bag. I plan to use just this plus personal item next trip anywhere…. because airline did in fact lose our checked bag coming home.

Using this as a personal item on a flight basically doubled my carry-on packing space. It was extremely comfortable to carry due to the padded shoulder straps. It was padded enough that I didnt feel that my 15 MacBook Pro was at risk. Now to be honest, my rating on durability and sturdiness is a projection. However, after going across the pond a couple of times with this bag, I dont see any signs of wear/tear. I think this is one of my best purchases of 2022!
