> 3 dayPros • Material, color, and construction quality • Storage space and carrying options • 3 packing cubes included Cons • None Verdict (5+stars) There are lots of storage options for this travel bag/backpack. Storage • The Front has 2 pockets for quick access, the top has storage for accessories, pens, phone, charger etc., with 2 smaller zipper pockets. The bottom is just a plain storage pocket • The back (when in backpack mode) has 2 zipper pockets. The top runs three quarters length of the bag (also it stores the attached backpack straps, a cool design). The bottom is a small plain storage pocket • Main bag storage is accessed by unzipping the 2 outside zippers that cover three quarters of the bad. Inside has enough room to pack a light weekend’s worth of clothing. The added benefit is the snap straps for securing clothing or to keep the included packing cubes in place • The outside has 2 additional zippers that when unzipped allow for more storage in the main internal storage compartment Carrying • A handle for traditional bag carrying • Backpack straps for backpack mode This is a soft travel bag/ backpack and when used as a backpack the two mesh areas are padded for comfort while wearing. There is a strap above the bottom pocket that you can slide items into to secure them between the backpack and your body. Each side also has 2 adjustable snap closures to help with securing and keeping the shape which is dependent on the amount of items stored inside. I like the blue fabric color and it is durable to handle scuffs, scrapes, and storage. A great all-around bag for using as a travel carry on, backpack, weekend, or gym bag. Bonus Items- are the 3 included packing cubes. These are great for organizing clothes, toiletry items, etc. They come in 3 sizes small, medium, and large.

> 3 dayThese have helped me avoid always dragging along my small heavy suitcase when going on quick flights. I first thought it was missing the straps, but they are stored in a pocket in the back, and you use the clasp to attach them to the bottom to use it as a backpack. This includes storage pouches to hold all I need while on my trip. It survived a flight across the country and had a cup of soda falling on it. It has many pockets and zippers to help expand the bag to hold even more items if needed. I like having this as an option for flights and also car trips because its smaller and holds a lot of stuff, including shoes, if packed properly.

> 3 dayThis bag came in much nicer than I was expecting, the organizers are a nice touch and the zippers glide smoothly. The fabric on the pack is also super durable feeling. The only thing I could wish for is a place for a laptop

> 3 dayI travel a lot. Id just had a typical large Jansport-style bag stolen in Milan, so was very excited to see other bags available for free through Amazon Vine in return for a fair and honest review. Especially large ones, as I often will live out of my backpack on trips, taking lots of tech (laptops, camera, chargers) plus some clothes and whatnot. Ive used it on a few trips now...... and to be honest, Im not as excited about this as most people. Its still a decent bag, just not sure its quite what Id want as a travel bag. A lot of qualms with it. It feels smaller. The main issue is its basically one space. The side pockets are very thin, so dont hold much. And the main space, after expanding it with the zipper, isnt very flexible beyond its base shape. if you pack it decently full in the main compartment, you cant put much of anything in the side pockets. So to me, for all intents and purposes, its just one space. Likewise I tried out the packing cubes. After all, I travel with clothes... so you want somewhere to put dirty clothes... and it would be helpful to have a separate space for clean clothes too. But these arent cubes, but thin bags. The largest is 2 inches wide. Literally, like I measured. Theyre mesh on one side rather than enclosed, so they wont do much for storing dirty clothes. Looks like I could put my laptop in there... but again, its not truly separate, so theres not all that much point. No strap or such to these smaller bags so that I could take it out quick to head out from my hotel or such. And not matching the length/width of the bag, they steal quite a bit of extra space in the main(/only) compartment when using them (the medium bag is quite square... the large and small are much more non-square rectangular, but they still take up a lot when you start stuffing them with things. The large would fit fine with the laptop... but again, not truly separate anyways. A small part of the reason there isnt a ton of space is the compartment the backpack straps are in. Whether theyre in them or not, the compartment still takes up space. It just seems more like a gimmick (likewise the packing cubes) rather than anything hugely useful. Likewise, I quite often do like to travel thin. So having a carry on sized backpack sounds useful. But then I remember that the cheapest airlines, Spirit and Frontier in the US (theres similar in the UK) allow only a personal item, like a backpack. So youll have to pay for a carry on like this. Which, considering these seems to hold barely what my regular backpack did (all that stuff mentioned above)... and quite a bit less than my carry on (more pairs of clothes, including dirty clothes in a separate enclosed zipped pocket inside)... and doesnt have the large secondary pockets of a decent normal backpack, nor the ability to open it up fully like a normal carry on bag... or the wheels both often have... it just doesnt feel nearly useful/flexible for my travel needs, whether driving long distance, taking a bus, or flying, or just going for a few days at family or friends in-state. It hasnt worked well so far, and after a few trips, Im convinced its more than just getting used to the changes. And the final knock was, while it felt decently made... with very minimal flexibility in the bag shape (once the expansion zipper is unzipped) (you put a video camera in the backpacks side pocket, the pocket bulges out easy enough... on this one theres very little give to do that... you really can only put small things in those side pockets)... and when it does inevitably strain in shape... while Im hopeful the material will hold up a while (not entirely certain on that either)... the zippers seem to strain a great deal. Theyre well made, but the strain doesnt make me think theyll hold up that long. (What else did I like? The straps were a welcome soft/cushioned feel compared to my old backpack. And the belt straps are nice to further secure your stuff. The color is definitely nice. But thats about it) $46 (the price it was listed at when I got it) is alright. But given that it doesnt wind up having nearly as much space as it promises in the end, at least for me, often a heavy-packed traveler (or else someone living thin out of a bag)... I wouldnt be interested in purchasing the bag in the future. Ill probably use it on occasion, but Ill be looking for a better bag, perhaps a typical backpack with 2 main pockets, a decent side pocket, and a small doc side pocket. Or something else innovative. I had hoped this would be it. But it just didnt do it for me. Hope you can find what you need, but this wasnt it for me. Its between 3 and 4 stars for me, but Im going 3 because I really tried to like this, but have significant concerns with its utility and even durability when used for heavy traveling.

> 3 dayI absolutely LOVE this bag. I love all the extras it came with, I love the extra handles on the side, and I love that you can tuck away the straps when you dont want to use them. I used this as a carry on during train travel, and it was absolutely perfect. Its only a touch bigger than a standard backpack, so it fits really well to stow on a train, and would work great on an overhead bin on an aircraft as well. It comes with three extra mesh-front bags of various sizes. Theyre perfect for medications, passports, chargers or other little extras that you dont want to get lost in the bottom of your bag. It has a compartment for your laptop as well, plus straps to hold it in place during travel, The fabric is nice and durable. It doesnt snag or tear easily. The straps are great for wearing this as a backpack, and they tuck away SO nicely when theyre not in use (so they dont get stuck on things when youre moving around, lol). Over all, this bag is FANTASTIC. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice carry on. Its rugged and durable enough to handle being hoisted around, even when its heavy. It has lots of compartments for stuff (including a hidden-fish compartment on the back), and the extra bags are a huge plus. Definitely, definitely a wonderful find!

> 3 dayI’m a huge fan of traveling with a carry-on only. Crucial to this is having a well-designed bag. This bag totally meets that goal at an unbeatable price AND includes packing cubes. I was not expecting much quality at this price point, but it has nice back padding, good zippers, and a smart design - at a price that is a fraction of what I’ve paid for other bags. Excellent value.
