Vancropak Travel Backpack, 40L Flight Approved Carry On Backpack for Men & Women, Expandable Large Luggage Backpack Daypack Water Resistant Lightweight Business Weekender Bag, Black

I took this bag on a European trip this fall, and was extremely pleased with its ease of use and versatility. It holds several days of clothing and accessories, so lost checked bags wasn’t as much of a worry for me. It fits in the overhead compartment, and is comfortable to carry even when fully loaded. After looking at several high end travel backpack bags, I opted for this one because it had better outside pockets, is expandable, has two-sided loading, and a strap to connect it to a rolling bag. Also, the price is about 1/3-1/4 of the major brands. If it came with a detachable shoulder strap, so it could be carried on your side like a duffel, it would be perfect.

Fits all of my stuff and perfect size to travel

I bought this bag without knowing really much about it other than reading the reviews on Amazon. I was taking a trip to Israel and wanting something versatile to take along. This bag has been tough and versatile and then some. I have packed it full with everything it will take. In fact so much stuff that it was heavy to carry by hand. This pack has handles to carry it vertically or horizontally, but also padded shoulder straps making it a backpack. You can zip it open like a regular suitcase. You can zip it up, strap it up very tightly, and stow the shoulder straps in their own zipper compartment so the bag has nothing hanging out if you want to check it at the airport. A separate zipper gives you an extra couple of inches of space should you need it. It has been on three very tough trips with lots of rough handling and supporting very heavy loads. The bag still looks almost new. Nothing has broken, zippers have not separated or come unstitched. Should anything happen to this one I will buy another one. Very pleased with this travel backpack.

This is my first travel backpack. I purchased for an overseas trip. I really like the number of pockets and ease in which the zippers operate. It really allowed me to be organized to easily, retrieving passport, cash, boarding ticket, etc. Additionally, it holds A LOT of clothing and other items. It appears durable and definitely helped to make my travels easier...

Most backpacks that I had before, either came with bunch of different size sections and pockets which made it impossible to find what I was looking, or fewer sections, but if the thing I was looking for was at the bottom, I had to unload everything to get to it. This backpack solved both these flaws. It is built more like luggage suitcase than backpack, but it sits comfortable when carried as backpack. It has couple of pockets, for things like chargers or liquids, section that would fit laptop or something like that, and the rest of it is one big space for everything else. I just got back from our European trip where we moved 7 times between different hotels and apartments, and packing/unpacking this backpack really took very little time. Also because it doesnt have all of those useless sections and fancy pockets, it is very spacious. There is option to expand it, but I didnt have the need to do that. Materials used, stitching and zippers appear durable enough. So far I dont see any wear and tear issues. If you are flying budget airlines, obviously it is bigger than they allow to carry on for free, but in my experience they rarely measure if what I am carrying is reasonably small, and this backpack is reasonably small looking. So far I flew 3 times on budget airlines and it was fine. My ONLY complaint, it doesnt have a pocket for water bottle.

Perfect for traveling with lots of space for all your needs! Would recommend everyone to get one!

We were surprised at how well made this pack appears to be. Haven’t used it yet but looking forward to it

Packed easily for 8 days of spring travel (no winter clothes). Light weight. Good variety of pockets. Sturdy zippers. With expansion zipper open still meets flight carry on requirements. Backpack straps have sturdy clips, are well padded & have an easy to access stow pocket. Used the bag on many subways. Its amazingly convenient on all those stairs and so much easier than a wheeled carryon.

expansion zipper great idea !

Hard sided might have to be retired airport was a breeze plane no problem backpack is the way to go!!!
