Greater than one weekPros • Material, color, and construction quality • Storage space and carrying options • 3 packing cubes included Cons • None Verdict (5+stars) There are lots of storage options for this travel bag/backpack. Storage • The Front has 2 pockets for quick access, the top has storage for accessories, pens, phone, charger etc., with 2 smaller zipper pockets. The bottom is just a plain storage pocket • The back (when in backpack mode) has 2 zipper pockets. The top runs three quarters length of the bag (also it stores the attached backpack straps, a cool design). The bottom is a small plain storage pocket • Main bag storage is accessed by unzipping the 2 outside zippers that cover three quarters of the bad. Inside has enough room to pack a light weekend’s worth of clothing. The added benefit is the snap straps for securing clothing or to keep the included packing cubes in place • The outside has 2 additional zippers that when unzipped allow for more storage in the main internal storage compartment Carrying • A handle for traditional bag carrying • Backpack straps for backpack mode This is a soft travel bag/ backpack and when used as a backpack the two mesh areas are padded for comfort while wearing. There is a strap above the bottom pocket that you can slide items into to secure them between the backpack and your body. Each side also has 2 adjustable snap closures to help with securing and keeping the shape which is dependent on the amount of items stored inside. I like the blue fabric color and it is durable to handle scuffs, scrapes, and storage. A great all-around bag for using as a travel carry on, backpack, weekend, or gym bag. Bonus Items- are the 3 included packing cubes. These are great for organizing clothes, toiletry items, etc. They come in 3 sizes small, medium, and large.

> 3 dayIve been looking for a travel backpack and this one absolutely did the trick. The color, texture, and the fantastic mount of pockets has made this my go-to carry-on bag. Ive never really been a huge fan of travel cubes, as I feel they are more of a hindrance than a help, and that applies to this bag as well. Just roll up your clothes or lay them out as flat as you can and youll save yourself more space than the cubes are going to offer you. If youre in need of a hefty, yet clean looking travel backpack, then I cannot recommend this one enough!

Greater than one weekI have no complaints on this bag as it does everything I need it to do. It’s very roomy and the inclusion of the extra bags is nice for toiletries or socks/underwear. I do feel as though the bag is a little small width wise but if you undo those zippers it does add a little bit more. The idea is to keep the bag within the guidelines of a personal item/carry on. I was able to pack a good weeks worth of clothes in (it’s a tight fit but it got the job done) along with toiletries and other items. Price wise yeah you could get another backpack cheaper but it probably wouldn’t include as much. It’s a good deal if you travel a few times per year like me.

> 3 dayCant wait to use this for future travels! I already got a different brand one, but had to grab another for quality control to see and just have as a backup or as a main soft luggage. This backpack/carry-on is solid construction and doesnt have any rips or tears. I havent taken it on a plane since I havent gone on any trips in a few months but I did do a similar pack as previous backpack to check sturdiness and ease of access. Love how easy it is to access everything and to transition it from backpack to carry-on luggage. Next time I get to go on a extended stay vacation definitely will stress test this with the expandable portion. I only packed 3 days worth and without having to use the expansion feature which was functioned as expected.

> 3 dayFirst of all, my photos are not true-to-life--the color is a much richer denim blue. Second, theres no way to appreciate all the layers of pockets and pouches this thing has without handling it yourself. Once youve loaded it up, strap it to your back or slide it onto the handle of your wheeled luggage. You wont go wrong. Everything I see says its well-built of quality materials and should hold up for some time to come. One of the most multi-faceted pieces Ive seen!

> 3 dayI got this just in time to possibly be taking a flight to Texas. Definitely gonna see if they will let it go as a carry on. Plenty of storage space inside without opening the extra zipper. If you pack smart, you can easily fit 7-10 days worth of clothes in it. I cannot say for sure if I got the 3 extra cubes, I know I got the big one for sure but I didnt open it to see if the others were inside it. Moving the shoulder straps in and out was easy. Bring on the travel.

> 3 dayI travel a lot. Id just had a typical large Jansport-style bag stolen in Milan, so was very excited to see other bags available for free through Amazon Vine in return for a fair and honest review. Especially large ones, as I often will live out of my backpack on trips, taking lots of tech (laptops, camera, chargers) plus some clothes and whatnot. Ive used it on a few trips now...... and to be honest, Im not as excited about this as most people. Its still a decent bag, just not sure its quite what Id want as a travel bag. A lot of qualms with it. It feels smaller. The main issue is its basically one space. The side pockets are very thin, so dont hold much. And the main space, after expanding it with the zipper, isnt very flexible beyond its base shape. if you pack it decently full in the main compartment, you cant put much of anything in the side pockets. So to me, for all intents and purposes, its just one space. Likewise I tried out the packing cubes. After all, I travel with clothes... so you want somewhere to put dirty clothes... and it would be helpful to have a separate space for clean clothes too. But these arent cubes, but thin bags. The largest is 2 inches wide. Literally, like I measured. Theyre mesh on one side rather than enclosed, so they wont do much for storing dirty clothes. Looks like I could put my laptop in there... but again, its not truly separate, so theres not all that much point. No strap or such to these smaller bags so that I could take it out quick to head out from my hotel or such. And not matching the length/width of the bag, they steal quite a bit of extra space in the main(/only) compartment when using them (the medium bag is quite square... the large and small are much more non-square rectangular, but they still take up a lot when you start stuffing them with things. The large would fit fine with the laptop... but again, not truly separate anyways. A small part of the reason there isnt a ton of space is the compartment the backpack straps are in. Whether theyre in them or not, the compartment still takes up space. It just seems more like a gimmick (likewise the packing cubes) rather than anything hugely useful. Likewise, I quite often do like to travel thin. So having a carry on sized backpack sounds useful. But then I remember that the cheapest airlines, Spirit and Frontier in the US (theres similar in the UK) allow only a personal item, like a backpack. So youll have to pay for a carry on like this. Which, considering these seems to hold barely what my regular backpack did (all that stuff mentioned above)... and quite a bit less than my carry on (more pairs of clothes, including dirty clothes in a separate enclosed zipped pocket inside)... and doesnt have the large secondary pockets of a decent normal backpack, nor the ability to open it up fully like a normal carry on bag... or the wheels both often have... it just doesnt feel nearly useful/flexible for my travel needs, whether driving long distance, taking a bus, or flying, or just going for a few days at family or friends in-state. It hasnt worked well so far, and after a few trips, Im convinced its more than just getting used to the changes. And the final knock was, while it felt decently made... with very minimal flexibility in the bag shape (once the expansion zipper is unzipped) (you put a video camera in the backpacks side pocket, the pocket bulges out easy enough... on this one theres very little give to do that... you really can only put small things in those side pockets)... and when it does inevitably strain in shape... while Im hopeful the material will hold up a while (not entirely certain on that either)... the zippers seem to strain a great deal. Theyre well made, but the strain doesnt make me think theyll hold up that long. (What else did I like? The straps were a welcome soft/cushioned feel compared to my old backpack. And the belt straps are nice to further secure your stuff. The color is definitely nice. But thats about it) $46 (the price it was listed at when I got it) is alright. But given that it doesnt wind up having nearly as much space as it promises in the end, at least for me, often a heavy-packed traveler (or else someone living thin out of a bag)... I wouldnt be interested in purchasing the bag in the future. Ill probably use it on occasion, but Ill be looking for a better bag, perhaps a typical backpack with 2 main pockets, a decent side pocket, and a small doc side pocket. Or something else innovative. I had hoped this would be it. But it just didnt do it for me. Hope you can find what you need, but this wasnt it for me. Its between 3 and 4 stars for me, but Im going 3 because I really tried to like this, but have significant concerns with its utility and even durability when used for heavy traveling.

> 3 dayThis light weight travel backpack is my new best friend!!! Recently took a last minute trip to Europe, and due to the length of the trip this was the perfect choice for my travels. The material is durable and waterproof, I tested it out myself while walking in the rain. None of my items were damaged. It is also manageable and easy to carry-on and off your flights. With adjustable straps that can also be tucked away.
