MATEIN Carry on Backpack, Extra Large 40L Travel Backpacks Airplane Approved Weekender Bag for Men and Women, Water Resistant Overnight Luggage Daypack Business Suitcase Anti-Theft Duffel Bag, Green

Been traveling for work for over 2 years and needed a nice travel back pack. Got this one and just flew to Arizona for a vacation. This bag can hold a lot of essentials (clothing, electronics, miscellaneous, etc) and was surprisingly compact and was able to put under airplane seat. Only thing it needs is a chest strap when walking long distances to keep more secure. Secure as is but an option like that would stabilize it for long walks. Would recommend to give it a go!!

Excellent construction and material.

Going to try to keep this short and sweet. This bag can fit A LOT. I’ve used it a few times for traveling and have fit two pairs of shoes, 4-5 shirts, a pair of jeans and shorts, toiletries, chargers, laptop, etc and I’ve still had some room left over. For more context, I roll my shirts, put socks and underwear in shoes, and use a plastic bag as my toiletry bag. I’m currently traveling in an airplane for the first time with it and writing this review pre-takeoff…. Since I’m cheap and didn’t want to pay for a carry-on through Frontier, I thought I’d test my luck based on the reviews I’ve read about people having no issue using this as a personal item (for budget airlines, personal items are free of charge while a carry-on can be $40+). I measured my bag using the airport measurements. As you can see from the picture, it doesn’t fit *perfectly* however, I’d be hard pressed to believe that a gate attendant would care (unless of course, they’re taking their job too seriously that day). It does fit under the seat as well. Although this actually wasn’t a short and sweet review, in summary, you should find solace knowing you *should* be fine using this bag as a personal item. If you look at other reviews, people have STUFFED this bag and still had no issue using it as a personal item. Ultimately, it’s comfy and spacious, and does what you need it to do.

I’m a world traveler and this bag is always my carry on. I’ve never had a problem with it being a carry on and I also have a personal item. It doesn’t fit under the seat but it does in the overhead bin. IIt fits everything, I mean depending on what you have but I fit my small electronics bag, toiletries bag, a pair of sneakers in the bottom compartment, a 2 spare outfits, my book, my laptop and iPad in the back pocket, a sweater, and I have another Jansport backpack filled with a few things that I put inside the bag too. I swear it fits it all and could probably fit a few more things, you just have to pack it right. The bag zips all the way around which I love so I don’t have to go digging for things. Very durable. Good quality. The straps are so comfortable. I travel a lot and I’m never bothered putting this backpack on even when it’s heavy. There’s two zip pockets in the front that are perfect for quick access things like your wallet, passport, and headphones. Tip: put the heavier stuff at the bottom to ensure comfortability and pack things flat.

Excellent

Bag will be perfect. Big enough for what we planned, 2 heavier coats and 2 pair of hiking boots to take the weight out of out suitcases. Seems very well made and heavy duty. I thought it would be more like a suitcase, as I saw in the video, but the zippered compartment is smaller than I expected, but there are 2, so it works.

Just completed my first trip with this bag. Had plenty of room for a weekend trip; 4 days three nights, plus my lap top. Multiple pockets makes is very easy to stay organized and a breeze going through security. Very happy with this purchase.

I was hoping this bag would be a gamechanger for airline travel, but it is not. The main concern: when you pack it, it is no longer carry-on size, defeating the purpose. It’s doable but challenging to pack this so that it is carry-on size. The shell of the bag is soft, not hard, so if you pack basically anything into it it expands. The main compartment is smaller than expected and seems to provide less room than the standard backpack oddly enough. The zipper-all-around design is helpful, but for only 4 or so inches of depth it’s overkill. The shoe compartment takes up nearly the entire main space, so you can really only pick one. I found the front pockets (two small and one large) useless as if you put anything non-flat in there, it sticks out considerably again making the bag larger than advertised. I was surprised that the laptop compartment doesn’t have much padding on the bottom, so if you set the bag down you must be careful so as to not strike the device. The water bottle holder is tiny, hardly fits a standard bottle. The zippers make a very annoying clinking sound when you walk - I wish they had been coated in plastic to muffle this. There should be a chest clip. Sad that I’m beyond the return window - I won’t be using this much.

This bag had the two main things I was looking for, a strap so it could be looped onto rolling luggage and an external water bottle holder. Within 2 months of using the bag, the netting that the water bottle holder is made of ripped and now one of the two features this bag was bought for is useless. Disappointed.

I like the size of the backpack - it fits my Matterport building scanner and some additional items (laptop, tablet, drawing pads, etc.) for when I fly back and forth in a single day to scan a building. Feels sturdy, looks great.
