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.

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!

I got this convertible backpack to travel with and I’m really impressed with it! It’s really nicely made, smooth zippers, reinforced seams, and I love that the backpack straps tuck away so nothing snags on them when you tuck it under seat or overhead. Lots of pockets and zipped compartments for all of your stuff, including a padded sleeve for your laptop or iPad. Comes with packing cubes which are always a great idea, and the fact that you can backpack it through the airport OR carry it like a little suitcase is great. Also has a strap to drop over your suitcase handle if you’re not into carrying. Surprisingly roomy! A great investment for short trips or when you want to maximize your travel packability.

This is perfect for those short work trips when I need my big laptop and a change of clothes. There are pockets, zippers, snaps and buckles everywhere (sounds like a song!). Its even expandable so you can add a day, or bring home a gift! The laptop slides in easily with a hook&loop strap to secure it so getting it out for airport security is easy. The other end opens completely with a full zipper making it easy to access your clothes. There is even an elastic strap to hold things in place. There is a handle on the side so you can carry it like a standard laptop case. Snaps, straps, and adjustments are the standard variety and seem adequate. It also comes with separate bags (cubes) if you really need to keep things organized. There is even a USB port on the outside that connects to your device inside-unique feature that I may never use - but it shows that the designer considered actually using this in the real world! It is actually stylish but would be nice if it came in more colors. This is a great product, very well made and highly recommended.

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.

A really good carry on backpack. Lots of different pockets and compartments. Has a good padding at the back so nothing is digging into your back. One minus is the straps are kind of at a weird spot so the backpack is sort of angled weird on your back, but maybe some more adjusting the straps can fix that problem. The many compartments make packing comfortably a breeze. Very pleased!

Roomy with plenty of pockets

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. I didnt know half of what I was getting when I ordered this! SO MANY pockets! I thought it was weird that since it looked like a backpack that it did not have back pack straps... ZIP! Behold! Hidden back pack straps! There is so many separate compartments to store stuff in I dont know what Id use them for! And to top it off it came with like 5 extra little bags to store stuff in. A great separate area for a laptop and USB plug to use with a battery pack! We just needed a simple weekend travel bag but we got so much more.

Holds a LOT! This is a great backpack for a weekend trip with plenty of room to pack your stuff. And your electronics will stay well protected too. This will definitely get a lot of use!
