08-06-2025I used this as a backup pack for a recent trip to the mountain forests of northern California. It proved to be so useful and durable that when we were done hiking the pack became a part of our regular packs and bags. It was a total success and it stood up to all of the dirt and abuse we put it through. Definitely recommended.

> 3 dayI ordered this as well four other bags to find the right bag for my Europe trip. I needed a “personal item” In addition to my carry-on. This bag came, and I was very excited to see if it works. Everything was designed perfectly to what I need and want with the exception that it looked too big compared to my carry-on. Pros: this bag checked almost all the boxes for me: good water proof material, expandable , can tuck the back straps inside a zipped pocket and carry it as a bag rather than an backpack, has a pocket for laptop or iPad, opens up like a carryon luggage, came with bonus packing cubes and a small see thru toilette bag. Cons: sides are padded but not structured, the foam piece in between the shell and lining was smashed down and doesn’t hold its shape once you unpacked from original shipping. No usb battery plug from the outside (not a deal breaker for me) My carry-on is 23 × 15 × 10 and when I packed it with the items I need in addition to what I couldn’t fit in my suitcase and put this on top, it just looked too big for me to get away with using it as a “personal item”. Returning it only because it won’t work as a personal item. If you use it as a carry-on item itself, then this works.

> 3 dayI bought this to use as my carry on bag for an international flight that has a very small carry on size allowance: 21.65” x 15.74” x 7.87”. None of my suitcases meet this size. I’m also limited to 17.5 lbs, including my personal item. That’s a challenge! We will be checking one bag for two people, so I was looking for a bag for a few more outfits (in case the checked bag gets lost), and all the misc stuff (electronics, meds, toiletries, etc). My first thought when unwrapping this: Wow, that’s a heavy backpack. But that included the packing cubes. It’s much lighter than a rolling suitcase, which is important when every pound counts. And I’m really amazed how much I can pack into it. I’m a fan of packing cubes for organization. I can fit two medium packing cubes in the main section, without expanding the backpack. Since my entire trip wardrobe fits in two medium packing cubes, this is perfect. I love the front pockets. One I’ll use for passports. The other will be for a fanny pack that I keep my plane essentials in (eye mask, chapstick, phone, earbuds, snacks, etc). The bigger front pocket has great organization, and I like the key chain clip. I’m not traveling with a laptop, so I don’t really have a need for the padded pocket. It just provides extra padding on the back, in addition to the other padding. The trolley sleeve was a must for me, and this one works well. It is a canvas strap (not stretchy), right above the horizontal zipper on the back. It fits snug on the luggage handle, so it won’t shift around. If you pack the bag too full, you might have trouble sliding it over the luggage handle. I don’t think this will be used as my day bag, it’s a bit heavy for that. But it works great as a carryon bag for international flights. I like that you can tuck the straps away.

> 3 dayEs más grande de lo que pensé cupo la ropa de viaje de mi niña de 3 años para 7 días! Trae muchos compartimientos lo cual me encanto, creo que cabe suficiente ropa para un adulto en un viaje de 3 o 4 días! Es muy amplia! No se abre como mochila, se abre como maleta.

> 3 dayMy Husband is becoming an expert with these carry-on backpack/suitcases which he prefers over a rolling bag. He likes carrying everything on his back so he has the ability to help me and our kids with his free hands. He has bought several carry-on size backpacks (between 35-45L). The Yeti Crossroads, the Patagonia Black Hole and a bag from Target. The Yeti Crossroads was 35L and it did not expand, and was therefore too small for my husbands frame. If the Yeti was 45L we probably would have kept it, but the $250 price point was a bit high for what it was. The 2nd bag we purchased was a $60 Target Made By Design convertible backpack. The Made By Design bag held way more than you would have ever thought, unfortunately the durability was a issue and after two trips the zippers separated from the fabric and we returned it. My husband currently uses a Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45 which he is thrilled with - good quality, durable, and will last forever. But not cheap at $250 So now lets talk about this backpack! Since this backpack is unbranded for ease we will call it by the store name selling Molnia. I find the Molnia bag to be of similar quality to other bags in this price range. I would imagine if you do not over pack it or abuse the back it will hold up well. The Molnia has no water deterrent/ water resistant characteristics in fact if you plan to spend time in the outdoors in a wet climate, then this is probably not the bag for you. Size: It is listed as 47L with expansion however it certainly feels and is smaller than the Patagonia 45L bag. I don’t know how they measure these bags but it is shorter and not as deep as Patagonia. So if the Patagonia bag is 45L. Then this feels more like 43L. Exterior: I really like the ability to bury the shoulder straps in the pocket. Which is a big plus If you ever flying and need to check the bag. In addition, it can be carried like a suitcase. The clasps and straps, handles are well attached and should provide some durability. The Molnia bag has plenty of outer compartments to hold items which need quick access. Interior: The main section for clothing is roomy, well constructed and has two compartments for organization. One side is a large pouch the other side is open like a suitcase with cross straps. They provided several interior bags for packing: toiletries, a larger bag, smaller bag and shoe bag. Unfortunately they arent the best quality - but they are decent. I would use them all except for the toiletries bag. The third compartment for computers and electronics is ver well padded and has plenty of compartments to hold your electronics in place. The interior computer sleeve easily holds my 17 inch laptop with a strong velcro latch to hold it in place. In sum: Overall I think it is a great value at this price point, well constructed, looks nice and is very well padded. For a weekend jaunt its a great bag at this price point. I just wish it was water-resistant.

> 3 dayThis could be all you need! I brought this bag on a recent (ten day) international trip. I was wary of bringing a check-in bag since I happen to be slightly paranoid about losing it in transit. There’s four “big zip” sections where the zipper runs the whole dimension of the bag. This includes a big front portion where you can keep small items like your electronics, wallets, etc. There are also two smaller zipped pockets in the front in addition to a netted pouch for your water bottle on the side. I was also able to pack (spring/summery) outfits for seven days in the main compartment as well as toiletries and other things. There was also another padded pocket for a laptop if I had chosen to bring it along. The material seems durable, water resistant, and not easily soiled. It didn’t even feel heavy once everything was packed in. The straps are padded too for comfort. Would definitely recommend this! P.S. It also came with some packing cubes and a shoe bag, which I didn’t use this time around—but will do in the future since they also seem durable.

> 3 dayI am so thrilled by this backpack. Its an endless surprise of different features that were so thoughtfully planned for extensive traveling. The zippered compartments are wonderfully sized and secured, the outside pockets are handy and helpful. My favorite feature (which was really hard to decide) is the ability for this carry-on backpack to convert to a check-in-friendly luggage because the backpack straps can be stowed in their own zippered compartment. How is that worthy of being a favorite feature? Because not only can you stow the straps in their own compartment, they easily unclip from the bottom so you dont have to untie the straps and lose the fit. Even still, I had no fear that the backpack would come unfastened or cause me issues when I carried it as a backpack. Ive had to check backpacks before and its a pain to secure the straps. This eliminates that annoyance completely and I can never go back to traveling with a regular backpack. My second favorite feature is tied: the fact that it comes with a full set of packing cubes and shoe bag is such a huge value, and thats as important as the insanely cushioned waffle protection in the laptop compartment. Between these two features, I could not decide which is better. Ive tried hard to think of improvements that could be made and I cant. Its the perfect size for an international trip carry on that can expand into a check-in (to make room for souvenirs). And domestic trips will be so much easier with this bag. The quality of the bag is so sturdy, I will be sure to update if that changes once Ive used it a few more times but it feels comparable to my highest quality luggage that I own. It has a luggage strap to secure it to the handle of a rolling luggage, and a hidden pocket in the lumbar support that goes above and beyond to secure important documents like a passport or money. Such a great value for one bag!

> 3 dayI use this backpack for everything now. I got the tan one because I could overnight it when I was going on a cruise and leaving the next day. The tan color was darker than expected, but I liked the color a lot more. It fit so much stuff in it and still fit into the Spirit container and under my seat with no issues. I use this when going away for the weekends or while travelling. It has such great quality and I would recommend that you buy this item, if you are looking for an affordable and great quality travel backpack.
