MOLNIA Travel Backpack for Men, 47L Carry On Backpack, 17.3inch Laptop Backpack Flight Approved, with 3 Packing Cubes & 1 Shoe Bag, Expandable Business Suitcase, Weekender Duffel Bag, Grey-green

My 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.

Lots of compartments, good for hiking or a road trip. When fully packed maybe too big to fit in small plane overhead storage and will not fit under the seat. Maybe a smaller size would work better.

Love this for the airport. Very useful and deep. Carries a lot more than expected!

Awesome backpack. I travel 2 days out of every week for work, and this hasnt been challenged as my personal item by any airline since I take a rolling carry-on filled with my work items. I fit a change or two of clothes, a pair of shoes, toiletries, etc., and it all fits...without me even having to open up the expansion zipper. I have bought so many rolling bags, backpacks, duffel, etc., to use for my work travel in the past two years, but this is really all I needed. So much money wasted! Well, at least now I have what I need...as long as my husband doesnt steal it from me. Im going to have to get one for him, I think, because he was really impressed with mine.

I bought this for my wife, she likes it a lot. She will use this for weekend trips.

Love this! It is expendable, came with packing cubes and has multiple zippered pockets. I fit so much in this, it was amazing. Replaced a bigger bulkier travel backpack with this and am impressed by it.

This backpack surpassed my expectations! It is a very pretty color, almost elegant looking. But, it is also heavy duty and well made! So many pockets and so much space. Perfect for using as a carry on, for hiking and camping.

I’ve been looking for a backpack that I could use as an International carry on and was thrilled to find this one. I measured it as 20.5 x 15”. This bag has so many features which is impressive for the price. It comes with four additional bags which I will definitely use at some point. The backpack straps are comfortable and the chest clip is invaluable when you are having to move quickly. The section for the laptop is extra padded and there is additional padding on the lower back for comfort. I especially like the option to enclose the straps inside the bag and use it like a suitcase without the straps hanging all over the place. The handles aren’t exactly comfortable for me, but should meld to my smaller hand size in time. Overall, the buckles and zippers seem to be good quality as well as the construction. I don’t think it compares with my TUMI luggage, but this bag offers a lot for the price. This bag is everything I was looking for and If it doesn’t meet my expectations after my first trip, I will provide an update.

I got this to go on a trip in September. Ive tested on small weekend trips to make sure I like it. Even even it was completely full, it was comfortable carrying on my back. It stayed on my shoulders unlike others that I have tried. Cant wait to use it as again.

I was impressed when I went through the backpack/bag. It has many pockets and compartments to separately store items for travel. I feel like this was very well thought out when it was designed. It is a little bulky for an everyday backpack, but great for business trips or weekend getaways! The backpack straps hide easily to turn it into a suitcase, where it has a handle on the side for easy carry. It also has a strap on the back to put the handle of a rolling suitcase through for easy travel. The separate compartments for clothing are a nice upgrade, so as to keep items separate and easy to find. This is nice to keep your clean and dirty apart when the time comes. The padding for the backpack is nice and thick for comfort, as well as there is padding to keep your laptop from having a hard surface against your back. All of the zippers and clips seem like they will hold up well. I will be traveling soon to really test it out and I will update this if I have issues with the bag, but I am not anticipating any. So far, highly recommended.
