POWAITER Carry on Backpack, Large Travel Backpack for Women Men Fits 17 Inch Laptop, Airline Approved Luggage Suitcase Backpack with 4 Packing Cubes for Business, Weekend or Overnight Trips-Gray

This is a really well-designed bag that can be used as either a suitcase or backpack. I like that the shoulder straps can be tucked away into a pocket in the back when not in use. There are oodles of zippered pockets on the inside and outside of the bag to help you stay organized. It also comes with three packing cubes and a shoe bag. In the photos, I’ve stuffed the packing cubes with towels to show how much they can hold. This bag also has the capacity to expand several inches by unzipping a zipper in the midline of the bag so you’ll have room to pack those souvenirs you might acquire on your trip. What I like most about the bag is how lightweight it is, especially if you plan to carry its contents on your back. Lastly, the thick padding around your lower back makes it easy to wear as a backpack. I can’t say enough good things about this carry on backpack, especially given its very reasonable price.

The backpack arrived very quickly and nicely packaged. It is well padded and made of heavy duty material. The back pack has several nice features such as being able to tuck the straps conveniently into a pocket so that it can be carried as a suitcase and has sliding clips on each size so that you can shrink or expand the depth of the entire pack. It also comes with packing cubes to help organize and shrink clothing down so that more will fit into the bag. The laptop packet is in a separate zippered compartment at the front of the pack for easy access. Very nicely done.

Nice little backpack for quick travel. Fits a laptop with accessories comfortably. Sturdy straps and construction. Item is as pictured.

I like the aesthetics of the bag and it is very functional. The material feels tough and resilient and the stitching is tight and seems strong. The free organizer bags were a nice addition. I put a full set of warm weather and cool weather clothes in the large bag and strapped it into the main compartment and I still have plenty of room for electronics and such.

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.

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!

The Powaiter Carry-on Travel backpack is all business. It looks professional and is designed to organize and meet all of your packing needs. I love how it opens up flat like a suitcase. When you unzip the main compartment, youll see the top side has two same-sized zippered compartments -- one mesh and one waterproof. The main compartment meanwhile has a small zippered pocket for valuables and a zippered pocket where you can put a power bank to connect with a cord that leads to a USB port on the outside of the backpack for easy phone charging. The main compartment holds the 3 packing cubes and shoe bag that comes with the backpack (*note -- these are not compression bags). It should be enough space for up to a 2 or 3 day trip depending on how you tend to pack. You can expand the size of the main compartment by unzipping one of the outside zippers. The front of the backpack features a smaller compartment that has a dedicated space for a laptop and slots for pens and a phone, and a larger and a smaller zippered pocket for valuables. Theres also two zippered pockets on the outside of the front of the backpack and one zippered pocket on the bottom third of the back of the bag. So many secure pockets! Theres a side pocket for a water bottle, a strap for putting around a luggage handle and adjustable buckles to compress the main compartment and make it less bulky. The backpack can also convert to a duffel by stowing the straps away in a zippered pocket in the back and using the side handle. In terms of comfort, the back of the backpack is padded and has breathable mesh. The shoulder straps are wide and cushioned and there is a chest strap to keep the backpack from swaying. While full of really smart features, the backpack is missing two things I wish it had: a waist belt to keep the weight off your shoulders and at least one locking zipper to keep a wallet extra secure. When I packed for a 3-day trip, the backpack weighed about 17 pounds. My pet peeve when it comes to traveling is having sore shoulders from too heavy of a bag. The Powaiter carry-on backpack was comfortable enough going through an airport. However I wouldnt want to wear it for hours on end.

Wow, this ended up being a good decision. I debated on whether to even get this because we had two similar size suitcases that met our typical travel needs. But I thought the backpack feature, when needed, would make carrying multiple bags a bit easier. We prefer not checking our bags so travel size was important. We unboxed this and the next 10 minutes was an adventure hunt. There are pockets after pockets and someone obviously put a lot of thought into this bag. This bag will now be our first choice when packing for a short trip. Very very pleased with it.

I work 50/50 out of my office and on the road, this is perfect for my laptop, a change of socks and other necessities while working out of my truck. It’s a great size that does expand and can hold a few days of clothes if used for a carry on. I prefer to use this for a wide array of sunscreen options. This is relatively sturdy, I’d say if you travels a lot you’d want to be aware that overtime some fraying could be a real possibility but I prefer this for an extra work backpack in my truck that has more room for personal items and helps keep it all together.

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.
