So, I thought this might be helpful for my son for school. Hes a junior and has a lot of stuff to carry. However, this bag is not good if you have to get into it frequently because it has so many buckles. The craftsmanship is high quality though. Everything seems sturdy and well made. It comes folded in half, and takes a bit of work to straighten it out. If you fill it with items Im sure it would straighten out quickly. Overall, Im not convinced it is the most useful bag because it has so many buckles. Really look over the pictures and decide if it will fit your needs.

Exceptional Quality Carry on Backpack/travel bag!!! Very attractive design, excellent materials and four packing cubes to keep everything organized!! I can take a two week vacation with what I can fit in this classy looking bag!! This will hold up to years of travel and is lightweight so you can fill it with all you want!! What is also great is that I can go with a little, then unzip the extension and bring back several new items!! TEN Star Quality, very good deal for this attractive bag for a Man or woman!! Love it!! Thank you!!!

Although I have not yet used this bag for travel, I was able to fit a dog bed plus 2 more smaller packages as I walked to deliver the packages to a friends house. The backpack straps are comfortably padded and can be completely hidden away in the back pocket when not used. Theres hand straps on the long and short ends of the bag to suit your carrying preference. The material is soft yet feels pretty durable. The zippers are incredibly smooth. All in all this is an exceptional travel bag, however I dont know if it would actually fit under the seat on an airplane. If used for that purpose, likely you would have to leave some space in the bag so it can be folded a little to fit under the seat.

Looks nice and seems well built but I can’t seem to find anchor points for the two shoulder straps. I’ve used the clips for the cinch straps but I expect to find clips dedicated for the shoulder straps. No instructions were provided, but the extra bags for organizing are a nice bonus.

There are so many pockets and compartments! I looked at it for a few minutes and was amazed at the number of storage options. I went back to it and found a bunch more pockets I didnt see the first time. I feel like when I have it packed and ready to travel, I will have to practice finding my stuff a few times before I go. Starting with the front, there are two zippered pockets. One is about 8x8, the other one slants a little and tapers from a little under 8x8 to a little under 8x7. When you unzip the main cover, there is storage for a laptop. It is padded and 12x14. It is supposed to hold up to a 17 laptop. Facing that in the same compartment are two zippered pockets, two unzippered pockets, and two pen slots. The two regular pockets and one of the zippered pockets will hold my plus-sized phone. One of the zippered pockets is large and will hold a hardcover book or other items. The other zippered pocket is mesh and will hold office supplies, charging cords, aux cables, earphones, etc. The next large section is the full size of the bag. It has straps to hold clothing in place and will allow you to open this pack like a suitcase. It has a long narrow mesh pocket on one end. The other side pocket introduces a pretty nice feature. On the outside of the suitcase, there is a USB charging port. The other end of the USB connection is in this pocket. You can put a power bank in this pocket, plug in the USB, and run a charging cord from your phone to the USB port on the outside of the suitcase. Also in this area on the opposing side are two more zippered pockets. One is clear plastic and is a little under 12x9. The other is mesh and is almost 12x7.5. I guess this is the point in an infomercial where I should say Wait! Thats not all! On the back is a heavily padded pocket that the description said is to hide valuables. It will actually easily hold a 20 oz. bottle of water, and I think it would keep it cold for a while. There is also a full length padded pocket that runs the entire length and width of the bag. This is where you hide the backpack straps if you are not using them, but it will hold a lot of other stuff. So basically, the back of this bag is heavily padded where it meets your back. And if that isnt enough, they include 4 extra bags to pack things in. One is a zippered bag that has mesh on one side and opens all the way up when you lay it flat. There is a small bag that is see-through plastic on one side and apparently is for toiletries. There is also a shoe bag and a second zippered bag that has mesh on one side and is approximately 12x10. There is one additional pocket on the outside of the bag, and also a handle to carry it with if you choose not to carry it like a backpack. It is padded, as are the backpack straps. There is also a strap on the back of a bag to slide over the extended handle on a rolling suitcase if you want to go that route. This bag has pretty nice fabric inside and out, and all the zippers work very well. The suitcase is expandable from 7 inches high to 9 inches high. As you can tell, there is an incredible array of storage pockets and compartments. I may be inexperienced in this area, but I have never seen a bag like it. The only con I can think of is I wont remember where I put all my stuff. Its a great bag.

This is a great bag for traveling, it looks and feels like a well-made bag. Made for carry on bins and comes with packing cubes to keep your clothing or electronic accessories organized. I like the USB port to connect my power bank as it is usually in my bag or a pocket. This keeps the power bank inside and lets you hook up anytime. Shoulder straps stow away in a pocket on the back so it looks like a small suitcase rather than a backpack. Soft breathable material on the back to help keep you cool. If you can travel light, this could be the perfect bag to take for a short trip. Overhead bin storage and backpack straps when you get to your destination so your hands are free as you explore. It is also a nice size for camera gear, however you will have to be careful with the weight limits on many airlines. Overall a great bag, very happy to add this to our travel gear. Weve been to over 30 countries so we speak form some experience.

This large backpack is perfect for traveling when you don’t wish to have an extra suitcase. It has a large main compartment suitable for clothes and shoes. There are three compartments on the exterior front, plus two more compartments on the underside. The lower ends of the back straps detach and can be stored in the upper underside compartment for times when you’d prefer to carry the backpack like a suitcase. The main compartment opens fully (like a suitcase), making packing easy. The product includes two cases that fit in the main compartment for organizing loose items. One unusual aspect of this backpack is how the back straps connect to the backpack. The upper ends of the back straps are where you would expect them, but the lower ends attached to the front, rather than the back, of the backpack. This means when using only one strap, the backpack will tend to sway from your body. Other than this oddity, the product is well designed and well manufactured with quality zippers and materials. I am glad I ordered it and look forward to using it this summer on vacation.

I wanted a weekend/overnight bag that would be able to hold everything I need and want in one compact bag. This bag offers so much more! It goes above and beyond with its very functional and thoughtful design. The bag is compact but can be expanded if more space is needed. It has 2 handles and backpack straps to make it super easy and quick to grab on the move and hold however is most comfortable and convenient. The backpack straps have a comfortable mesh padding with a chest strap to keep the bag in place while wearing it, and when not in use the straps can be concealed. Even the buckles that the backpack straps clip into have a cleverly concealed pocket. Once tucked away you’d never know it could convert into a backpack. The compartments on the travel bag are endless! There is a place to store everything, including discreet zippered pockets for smaller electronics, charging cables, or sensitive materials like a wallet or passport. POWAITER even includes packing cubes to take organizing to the next level. As functional as this bag is, it’s also worth mentioning how stylish it is. The material, quality, durability, and color are excellent. I appreciate that the bag is soft and pliable because there are fewer limitations when packing and storing/stowing the bag. From clothes, shoes, toiletries, and electronics, everything I need for a 2-3 day trip can be packed into this bag beautifully. My only complaint is that I need to buy another bag for my spouse because this one is so amazing, we need to each have our own!

My number one downside about this bag is actually a feature: there are a *lot* of bags, zippers, clasps, mesh pouches, buckles, velcro latches, secret compartments, loops, straps and various other features. Its so feature rich Im overwhelmed; the stock photos undersell it all. I do get excited about the impressive amount of flexibility and versatility, but I--myself--just dont have an obvious use case for each and every one of these nooks and crannies. To meet the needs of a wide variety of people, though, this makes for a good product. I really like one item in particular: this bag doubles as a work/laptop bag *and* an overnight/travel bag, and several of the features are especially useful in that regard (it is expandable, and it has elastic tie-downs for clothing). My son actually snagged the bag from me, and--declaring its now his--uses it for school stuff. All of the various compartments are great for his books, papers, folders, phone, school-issued ipad, lunchbag, musical instrument bits & bobs, and all the other stuff he has to carry back & forth. Its actually a good, multipurpose backpack for a pre-teen. Itll also work really well as his carry-on travel bag for airplane rides: itll hold all his travel clothes for our destination as well as his on-plane busy activities (e.g., videogames, books, etc.). For under $50, the overall quality of this bag is pretty good considering the price. The zippers seem to be fine, the leather-like material is okay, and there is the occasional bit of durability-focused additional stitching. Im prepared to buy a second one for my son.
