Hello there, nice to meet you! ;o) In short, this POWAITER backpack is GREAT! The long version: This is the backpack that really COULD! Lets count the ways: Its LARGE (aka HUGE) and great size for traveling, with generous dimensions of: 14 wide x 9 deep x 20 tall. Ive always gotten black backpacks, so time for a change, I ordered a lovely navy blue one. Fabric is really sturdy, and has a denim like look. The pack is beautifully sewn as well. 21 pockets Folks! Nuf said on that one! Im a happy camper about that... I NEED those pockets when I travel! (I will confess, Im guilty of organizing so well that I lose track of what I pack! ;o) Has hidden pockets in the back of the backpack (the part that rests on your back, natch!) that contains zippered section for the well padded shoulder straps, and lower down the pack, is the all-important anti-theft (read: peace of mind) zippered pocket for your passport, and important items you dont want to lose, if stranded on your trip. POWAITER Backpack is so Well Thought Out, it even has pockets and cubes for wet items like toiletries and and icky things you dont want next to your clean clothes like shoes! Not only that, the luggage section has a 180º sturdy zipper (actually, all the zippers are quite sturdy ;o), to easily open this section flat, much like a conventional suitcase, compete with elastic straps to keep your clothes contained within. This section comes with 4 very useful packing cubes to make your travels/packing much easier. Near the front of the backpack has a large, padded, dedicated pouch for your laptop, along with extra pockets within to hold your paperwork and office items. You could squeeze in your tablet as well. And the terrific list goes on and on! This POWAITER Backpack is practically PERFECT in every way! I have only one teensy weensy wish as I travel quite a bit. One airport Im always departing from, tends to examine your electronics in much closer detail. Obviously, we all have to move quickly through TSA-- theres ALWAYS a line, right? ;o) It would be lovely to have a 180º zipper for the laptop section, to help quickly remove the electronics, without holding up that line, you know? Best of all, HAVE FUN! Give this POWAITER Backpack a try... I dont think youll regret your purchase. ************************************************** Have a superb summer coming up! ;o) Cheerio and Best of Luck in all your endeavors! Hopefully, this review was helpful.

Wow, the storage capacity and design of this back pack are ideal for travel. There is a zippered area for your laptop and other travel electronics at the front of the backpack with space for any of your other travel items that you need to be able to get to easily. The larger area of the backpack opens up all the way to lay flat for security and is designed like a suitcase with elastic straps to hold in enough clothes for a day or 2. This area can be expanded as well if you need more room. The back of the backpack is padded nicely with a hidden pocket and backpack straps that can be easily tucked away if you prefer to use one of the 2 other carry handles this backpack provides. Other great touches are the charging port on the outside of the backpack to use when you plug in your own portable charger to the cord inside the backpack, travel strap, and water bottle pocket on the side of the backpack. This travel backpack really has it all. The only items that I feel will not last long are the bonus packing cubes that are included. The material is very light and seem like it would rip easily. If you are looking for a great travel backpack that is versatile and has storage for days then you have found what your looking for with this backpack.

I am currently on my first trip using the backpack to take along my laptop. So I cannot speak to how long, or for how many trips, it will last. It is very lightweight material which makes me wonder. Personally, at least so far, I have not found the extra, separate zipper bags to be of use.

I really like the looks of this travel bag, and all of the features it packs. The handles are sturdy and are in useful spots, the zippers are decent (love the zipper pulls too) and there are plenty of compartments for gear when you travel. I like that the main compartment zips all the way open like a suitcase too. The backpack straps are nice, and easily stow away so that your pack becomes luggage. I have yet to use the expansion zipper but Im glad its there to get a little more space when needed. The packing cubes are a nice bonus - they match the style of the travel pack, and are quite useful for organizing your things when traveling. Construction is quite good for the price, and I cant think of any criticism of this bag. It is now my go-to travel bag. Highly recommended!

I wa looking for a small carryon backpack and this fits the bill. The included storage bags are a nice touch to keep things organized as an option. The stitching seems solid and has held up to me pulling on different parts and being rough with the bag. The straps when night in use tuck away nicely. The front has a laptop sleeve that seems padded as much as Ive seen others do and has small pockets for cables and things. Pass through usb cable seems to be the new normal with bags and it a nice added touch. Overall a great small bag for short trips or a carryon.

I liked its price and its size

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 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.

I purchased another 40L backpack before and had to replace. This one seems more durable. Excited to put to use.

This is exactly as described. The straps are tucked in the back zipper at the top. Has a clip to hold your clothes in place. The colors are nice and fabric feels strong.
