MATEIN Travel Backpack, 40L Flight Approved Carry on Hand Luggage, Water Resistant Anti-Theft Business Large Daypack Weekender Bag for 17 Inch Laptop, Black

To be fair, all I wanted was a backpack to take with me to work. To carry my laptop, lunch, umbrella, and a couple of books. It does all that perfectly well, but that isnt asking a lot right? So then I started taking it on flights; meets TSA requirements. I love the shoe compartment. I havent tried the USB port (that would connect to your own charged battery pack that you leave in the backpack) but its a clever idea. The padding on the straps is plush. Super comfortable. At this price, I expected the zipper to be garbage and stitches to pop out thru light use, but nope. Ive been using this backpack every day for 4 months and its still perfect. So much room inside the main compartment. Even the secondary compartment for the laptop is ample AND padded. Great purchase!

Excellent construction and material.

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.

I’m over paying $100+ for a decent backpack. Found this one and decided to give it a try. It’s better than any other backpack for travel I’ve owned. My goals are durable and functional with great volume. This one is perfect. This thing holds A LOT. The zippers are sturdy. The material is durable. And for under $45 I can hardly believe I found this gem.

I have owned this bag for just over 3 months now, I have taken it on 3 planes (American, United, and Delta) without issues of fitting it under the seat in front of me while being quite full. Beyond that I take it out of my house when I go on photoshoots or weekend family events about once or twice a week. I have no concerns yet of it losing integrity. The material it is made of is not so thick where if you snagged it on something sharp it would hold up. I havent used it outdoors a whole lot hiking through the woods or anything like that. But for just general travel in urban areas I dont see it degrading anytime soon. My favorite part of the bag is the zipper pocket behind your lower back that can be accessed relatively easily while wearing it. I like to put my wallet and keys in there. The number of pockets/compartments on this bag is quite overwhelming at times lol, not that its a bad thing, but I havent quite figured out a system for myself to know where something is every single time. I would highly recommend if you dont plan to take it into old abandoned houses, it might hold up on a camping trip just fine as well but I havent tried. I think this bag shines as a carry on for an airplane, especially if you have a laptop.

I hate that airlines nickel and dime you for everything nowadays, but this bag is fantastic!! It counts as your personal item (Ive used it on Spirit no problem) and fits under the seat in front of you, so no more fighting for space in the overhead bins. I could not believe how much I could fit in this bag!!! I used it for a week long trip to disney world and was able to fit a 25L day pack hiking backpack, 5 long sleeve sun protective shirts, 7 pairs of underwear, 3 bras, 2 pairs of cargo capris, 7 pairs of socks, pajamas, a swim suit, a pair of high top sneakers, flip flops, a sun hat, a sun parasol, sun screen, a box of 40 face masks, a liter water bottle, 30 individual sleeves of Gatorade powder, a back up battery pack, shampoo and conditioner bars, my kindle, and probably even more stuff that I am forgetting now. It is comfortable to wear on your back even when completely filled to the brim. I also used this bag for a weekend road trip to a wedding and was able to fit everything for the whole weekend with room to spare. If you use this on just one flight, it pays for itself. The only thing I would change is adding a chest strap, other than that its the perfect bag.

This is a great carry-on travel backpack for one-bag travel. There are countless exterior and interior pockets to organize my travel items for easy access during the journey. The main interior pocket will fit many large items. There is even a dedicated shoe bag to separate shoes or other items from clothing although that will eat into your cargo space. I especially love the separate padded laptop pocket. I have do 2 nits though: 1) it does not have any compression straps on the inside or outside. Therefore, if the bag is not full, items may shift around inside the bag. However, since I use packing cubes and usually pack to the limit, its not a deal-breaker for me. 2) There is no extra panel to zip up the backpack straps to prevent them from catching on seats. Once again, this is also not a deal-breaker. This is my 4th Matein bag and I am overall very satisfied with the price/quality of this bag. It is 1/3 the price of my beloved eBags Mother Lode and has many of the bells and whistles. Great deal!

I bought it because I was flying to New York for only 2 days and the flight was on spirit, where they barely allow you to take anything… you can only take a personal backpack, which in my case I couldn’t fit anything in there, I found this backpack here and it was my savior, I swear there’s so many pockets and ways to use this bag that I can pack things for a whole week and still got space left, I absolutely loved it

I really liked the distribution and the special compartment for shoes.

Got this for grandson to use on his class trip, as I figured his regular backpack wont be big enough. It seems like it will be perfect for the job.
