POWAITER Travel Backpack for Women Men, Large Carry on Backpack Flight Approved with 4 Packing Cubes & Luggage Tag, Expandable Business Weekend Luggage Suitcase Backpack for 17 Inch Laptop-Black

The manufacturer thought of everything with this bag. I really like it. It has so many pockets that you will probably forget what all you packed in it. The material is not the thickest, but it is not as thin as all the others at this price point. This bag has features that let you know they did actual field testing or used real travelers. First, it has all of the cubes so that you can organize different items into separate compartments. You can expand the bag to a larger size. You have 4 buckle straps to help keep the bag secure. The pull-out name tag is a cool bonus. The ability to store the shoulder straps when you dont need them is genius. The strap on the back to attach it to your other luggage, fantastic. I could easily pack this bag for a 4–5-day trip and not have to deal with the crazy airline baggage check process. Hope that helps you today.

Although Im not a frequent business traveler, the 2 things I hate the most is checked luggage & connecting flights. I have literally 6 travel bags in my closet right now and while they all have their advantages & disadvantages, this bag is now my go to bag for the following reasons: 1. expandable to a larger size. There are buckle straps to keep it compressed at a smaller size. 2. The back straps can be unbuckled & completely stowed away once youre on board the plane so it doesnt snag on anything. I would prefer more padding in the straps since you may have to walk a mile or more from the curb to the gate... 3. There are 2 separate handles so you can hand carry it in portrait or landscape mode. The straps could use beefier reinforcement. Time will tell how long they will last. 4. There is a hidden, zippered compartment against your lower back to store important items (passport, wallet, money, etc) that should make it pickpocket proof while youre wearing/carrying it. 5. Large enough to fit my LG Gram 17 laptop. 40L capacity will allow me to carry onboard everything I need for any 7 day trip so I dont have to worry about losing checked luggage. 6. Too many zippered compartment to count. The included packing cubes are a nice touch. Makes it very easy to organize your things how you see fit. 7. The side pocket will fit a standard water bottle but not a larger metal tumbler. I do wish there is a 2nd pocket on the other side for snacks, sunglasses, etc.

Backpacks have become my carry-on luggage of choice for air travel. They are great for carrying hands-free and are a good size for stowing under the seat in front, but a few that I have used are obviously optimized for upright packing and unpacking. This is a little inconvenient for travel as putting stuff in a pack is easy, but accessing it, not so much. I actually did not know what to expect from this item. I was attracted to the laptop storage. I was hoping it would make removing and stowing a laptop easier than with other backpacks. It definitely does that. There is a dedicated laptop compartment that is accessible in the most convenient way from under an airline seat. In and out on a plane is going to be much easier than any other pack I have used. Better still, this pack is more like a soft-sided suitcase. The “lid” is secured on three sides by a zipper like a hard-sided suitcase I have. It is also expandable (a couple of inches in depth). It is just a tad smaller than my hard-sided case (usually stowed in the overhead), but it should be easy to pack whatever I need for short trips. It will also be easier to access and unpack than a traditional backpack. I am so used to using a backpack that I just live with the existence of the straps when the pack is not on my back. This pack has a pocket to stow the straps, and has two handles for carrying, if desired, like a…well…like a suitcase. This feature eats up some precious cubic inches of packing volume, but I know it will be nice to be able to get the straps out of the way in planes. The packing cubes have yet to be put to use, but I can see them making packing and unpacking more orderly than a traditional backpack. The suitcase form factor of this pack is very desirable compared to the deep and narrow access of traditional backpacks. The packing cubes are going to work well with this design. I can’t wait to put this pack to its first use.

It definitely makes my trips easiest with everything including my 15 laptop in this one backpack. The design is amazing that it has all possibly needed pockets and layers for storage. It can look strapless too - the straps can be folded inside it. My only suggestion is adding back/waist support straps to it - which will be tremendously helpful for walkers

This is the most comprehensive travel backpack Ive ever seen, and Im in love! This backpack (which is an inadequate name for this work of art) is so well thought out and versatile that Im buying a second one as soon as I write this review! This bag arrived in its smallest form, utilizing the clips on the sides to keep it compact (which is perfect for storing between uses). Once unclipped, it expands to be a large bag that can be carried with top handles, side handles, or the stowed away backpack straps. So many ways to use this bag! The pockets are well designed, the main compartment unzips flat like a suitcase, and all of the components are very high quality. Did I mention that it includes coordinating packing cubes? This is a stellar item, and I think its the perfect carry on bag. Highly, highly recommend this!

This backpack is a great companion for travel and goes well under seat as a personal item. Its light in weight and doesnt waste any space. The pockets are well positioned and its not easy to tamper with. Design is extremely well thought out as well and thus a great buy.

I got another larger overnight backpack type bag earlier in the year, and I just found that the main compartment was too big for daily commute use. If I were traveling for a day or two, a packing cube or three in the middle would have been great, but even with two laptops and an extra sleeve between them, it was just too roomy. The maker of this bag decided to include four packing cubes with it, well, three cubes and a shoe bag. The USB charging is a nice touch, and I liked that in the other bag so this one meets that requirement as well. The two inch zipper expansion is great for the return trip with a few souvenirs. Im planning a weekend trip next month and will likely just take this bag. Will try to return with some packed bag photos soon.

Based on the pictures i thought this bag would be more structured but its not. It is padded around the outside so does have some structure too it just not what the pictures showed. But that said it appears to be an excellent backpack for travel a lot less bulky than my other one. This one even comes with 3 packing cubes and a shoe bag... has a place for a laptop and or tablet i think both will fit. It is expandable and the backpack straps hide away.

This makes a great backpack if you frequently take weekend trips to visit friends or family or if your job revolves around taking several short 2-3 day trips each year. It works great as the companion to roller luggage so you can have everything together in 1 unit for your trips. The bag has nice features like the expansion that gives it a couple more inches in width. The design of the bag is practical and functional in that its square which matches how most regular roller luggage is designed. That way, it can fit laptops, books, shoe boxes, notebooks, and boxes that are also generally square. The packing cubes are a nice bonus so you can organize everything easier in this bag or even a separate luggage carrier. The way they designed the luggage strap is also great in that you can hide the shoulder straps when using it on top of roller luggage. Overall, its a solid backpack that should last long as long as you dont let it get checked-in at the airport or overload it with heavy items frequently during travel.

I dont know and maybe it was my fault but I didnt have backpack straps. I need to look but this is a great back either way. Easy to carry and lots fit in it. I really like this bag but I need to find my straps as it would have helped in airport.
