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

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.

You can wear it as a backpack, then carry it like a suitcase if you need to board a plane. It’s a carryon suitcase size accepted by the airlines and if you pack it fully, it will probably need to go in the overhead bin. The backpack straps ends are sewn down In a zippered deep pocket and are easily unbuckled and pushed inside and zipped closed. It’s lightweight before packing. There’s a mesh pocket with an elastic top on one side for a water bottle. The opposite side has the carrying handle. On the outside front there are two zippered pockets for papers and such. One is zipped vertically and the other horizontally. So many separate places inside to put things. A separate dedicated laptop area that is padded on both sides closes with a zipper. In this area there’s a pocket for the laptop and a separate pocket for the power cord. The main compartment has a large zippered mesh pocket on one side and the other side is for the majority of your clothing. It has two cross straps that buckle together to hold the clothing in place. In this compartment is a bonus of 2 packing cubes, one small and one larger, a transparent bag for makeup or liquids, and a laundry bag. A third fully zippered section has a key fob, that is removeable, and 3 separate zippered mesh areas. It’s phenomenal, a place for everything, well constructed, backpack/suitcase.

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 has so much room for everything. Love the packing bags. Very functional. I travel often and those bags help me secure my things so they dont all fall out when you open your bags

I like this backpack quite a lot. It holds sooooo much stuff. especially once you expand it, you can really get a lot in there. The packing cubes it came with are also great. It fit about a week worth of summer outfits and 2 pairs of sandals, along with my work stuff (computer, notebooks, headphones). Seems quite sturdy, but have only used it a few times so we will see

Is good

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.

This 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.

This is the best bag Ive ever had. I cant believe how much space there is in this bag. Quick tip. I expanded the bag, filled it up, and then closed the expansion. With this bag, there is no need for additional bags. Its the ultimate carry-on that can house clothes, shoes, laptop, water bottle, etc. Its comfortable to carry with 3 different carrying options. The only thing missing is a port to charge devices.

Plenty of pockets. Plenty of room. Different options to carry. Shoulder or carry handle. Sturdy pack also. Its very cool item!
