MATEIN Carry on Backpack, Extra Large 40L Travel Backpacks Airplane Approved Weekender Bag for Men and Women, Water Resistant Overnight Luggage Daypack Business Suitcase Anti-Theft Duffel Bag, Green

The size of the backpack is fine. The straps are reasonably comfortable. But the functionality of the pockets is disappointing. The original trip I bought it for was cancelled and by the time I got to actually try and use it it is now too late to return. The exterior pocket for a water bottle is so small only an actual 16.9 oz plastic bottle with flexibility will fit. It is too short and too narrow to fit a metal reusable bottle. The vertical zipper compartments on the front are small and don’t extend very far. Not really useable for much. The front exterior pocket that goes side to side has almost no give and again super hard to use since I can’t even get my hand in it when the bag has contents. The larger compartment with organizers has a half zip open. But the design is also poor. The zipper doesn’t allow you to open the compartment enough to actually see the zipper mesh pocket or other compartments so those organizers are useless. I like the fabric and the feel of the zippers. But the poor design and functionality means I’ll be donating this bag since I can’t return it. Really annoyed.

This backpack is great. It has a lot of room for everything you could need.

CONs: No rigidity at all, it feels like light fabric. PROs: Well-designed and superior built; the shoe compartment helps a lot. Tons of space; fits well under sit in front. I bought it some 7 months ago and have taken it on 2 long trips, one in the US and one to Europe. On the last trip (14 days) this thing was loaded with 16Kg/35lb of all kinds of stuff including many electronics. Most items were packaged into packing cubes which expedited accessibility to security checking staff in 5 airports. Otherwise, theres too much for X-Ray machines to discern whats inside. Despite feeling lightweight, this backpack performed admirably; not a single stitch popped and the zippers performed without issues. Talking about the zippers you may want to have small carabiners or tiny padlocks to prevent their opening; they tend to open spontaneously. I packed Water Sports Shoes in the shoe compartment and was able to use them during tans-Atlantic flights with the corresponding comfort advantage. Im very happy with the purchase and wholeheartedly recommend it as a carry-on substitute. Its light material allows it to squeeze under the front seat as long as its not packed to the max and under pressure. I did not receive any observations or warnings from airline staff about its size despite its capacity (and weight).

The only thing I didnt love about this bag was that there is no chest buckle or hip strap. This made it uncomfortable to carry through the airport while also wheeling other luggage. I realize that a hip strap is a lot to ask of a backpack this size, but I think a chest strap would make a big difference and other models by this company have one. However you can fit a lot of stuff into it (which makes it heavy, which is why you need a chest buckle) and it does fit under an airplane seat.

This backpack is so versatile for travel. So many pockets, laptop fit perfect plus a ton of other stuff. I stuffed it so much it was a bit wide to fit as carry on in overhead compartment on plane but they tagged it and loaded it on undercarriage of plane. Very comfortable to carry even with it packed. Quality is beyond for the price. This will be my new carry on for all trips. Cant praise it enough.

She used it for Arline travel to a potentially nanny place.it diorite rain but at worked well on the plane

Even if you’re bags are lost by the airline this bag will have everything you need to still enjoy your vacation

The bag is great, tons of pockets, excellent size, great zippers, good padding. There aren’t compression straps though, which would be nice. It fits in the personal item bin, but only when it’s so lightly packed that it’s silly to use it for that.

the bag has a lot of pockets, so you can carry a lot of things in every compartment. Careful though, not to carry to much weight as the buckles are somewaht weak. Had to purchase another one as was carrying too much weight and the buckle simply broke.
