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.

Plenty of space for a few days of clothes and toiletries plus extra zip area on the outside for laptop, notebook, and travel docs. Purchased the bag so I could air travel with crutches and it worked great!

This backpack checks most of the important points: very light, spacious (finally, made with a larger laptop in mind) and padded, with 4 packing cubes, good secure straps, strong secure straps, quality zipper, easy to carry even when fully packed . Navy is a good color, neutral. I often go on car or plane trips, and take luggage seriously. Recommend.

Really nice bag for a weekend away. The packing bags were very helpful and theres plenty of room for things.

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.

Perfect carry on backpack. Good quality and value. True to description and has multiple packing cubes. It did take a second to figure out the shoulder straps clip together, they have a unique design with that. Its very durable and sturdy. Very happy with this bag!

Very impressed by this bag especially since it comes with several storage bags inside. It looks good and expands to have a ton of room! You can easily use this as a carry one as it held 3 days worth of clothes plus a few electronics on a recent work trip.

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.

The fact that this bag has enough compartments for my traveling needs.
