Inateck 40L Carry On Travel Laptop Backpack for Flight Approved, Business Travel Cabin Hand Luggage for Men Women, Compatible with 17 Inch Laptop, Black

This is like the holy grail of travel backpacks! I travel a lot, and always take only a carry on if I can. I have tried now probably 5+ different travel backpacks and I am officially in love with this one! There is always some major issue to make me try another bag, but this one is comfortable to wear, has a large main compartment, fits more than you'd expect and opens up fully like a suitcase. I can't see myself going for another bag after this one. I was thinking about getting an Osprey far point 40L for a while, but didn't want to make the leap and spend that much, because I spent a ton not too long ago on a cotopaxi bag and didn't love it. So this was a similar alternative and I think its actually better than the osprey just from checking it out in stores and people's reviews on it! Reasons why: it still has the 40L main compartment that opens the same way, BUT the laptop pocket is located near your back rather than in the front of the bag (better for weight distribution and you don't have to worry about you laptop flapping over when you open the bag), and the mesh water bottle holder can actually hold a water bottle, and after taking this out on travel, I did not have to worry about it falling out of there, and finally I just like the look of this bag better. It looks very clean and professional, which is perfect when I have to travel for work and want to look like less of a backpacker. And for the price it is well worth it, bc trust me, I have spent a LOT on travel bags in my search for the perfect one. The only downside I can see, is if you absolutely must have a bag with a hip strap, bc it doesn't have one. I have had bags with and without the hip band, and while it does add to carrying comfort if you will be wearing it a long time, I felt like this bag was incredibly comfortable to wear on my back for quite a bit of time even with no hip strap. Oh! and as a bonus, its got a hidden pocket on the back, perfect for your passport and boarding pass and two tiny little pockets on the shoulder straps where you can hide some cash for if you need to pay for a taxi or something right out of the airport. It appears to be constructed very well, I can't speak as to long term durability, since I've only had it a few weeks, but it seems like its well built, not like a cheaply made bag from China. I would recommend this bag to anyone who is looking for a travel backpack!

This bag was great to use for our trip. When we got back home we’re decided to use it as a go bag for disaster preparedness. The size is perfect for travel both to get through check in quickly but also for backpacking. It looks great, feels great and travels great. I was able to fit enough clothes and items for about a weeks trip. I was concerned about theft but with a luggage zipper lock I felt safe. Plus I didn’t put anything of value in the front pocket. Over all the size was great, decently comfortable to carry as a backpack and the ease of use of not bothersome.

I tested this backpack out on a week long vacation to Nashville. It easily held 8 unique outfits, my toiletries and an extra pair of shoes with plenty of wiggle room for about a shoe box full of souvenirs. The quality of the backpack is very good - feels heavy duty and durable (which does come with being slightly heavier but not too much). I'm only returning the pack because it was way too big for my little 5'1" frame. Even when it wasn't fully packed out, it was just too long and too wide on my frame to ever feel comfortable. I think this would work great for a bigger person than I, who is looking for something that will hold everything they need for a 1-2 week trip.Fully packed, it had no chance at all of fitting under the seat on Allegiant Air, but on JetBlue I was able to fit it under the seat in front of me (pictured). I just had to give up pretty much any leg room, but that worked great for me because I have short legs and it was more comfortable to rest my feet on top of my pack than it usually is having them dangle a few inches above the ground.If there was a 30L version of this pack that was shorter/skinnier but with the same material and layout, I would absolutely buy it. For those curious, I found the sweet spot with Osprey's 26+6 Daylite pack.

I bought this for a "one backpack only" trip to Asia. I was very pleased with it.PROS:It's the size of a carry-on suitcase, so I had no problems bringing it inside the airplane - even in a budget airline local flight in Asia.Sturdy material and well constructed. Good quality overall.It comes with a waterproof cover (that I didn't need during this trip because it didn't rain), but it's a great back up to have (this was one of the reasons that made me decide to buy this one)It has a place for water bottle, which was really handy.Comfortable to wearGood capacity, compactCONS:The front pockets are pretty much useless, once the bag is full. They only open on top, with a flat zipper, so it's really hard to access contents inside if the bag is not empty. (Could be significantly improved if it had a U shaped zipper on the top front pocket).Overall, great bag for the price. I saw other ones with amazing design, pockets and compartments, but they were all at least double the price.

Maybe even more. We took out one laptop and could then fit the Oculus Quest 2 carrying case inside.Seriously this backpack is a well padded powerhouse. It holds more than you want to carry on your back. Still fits under some airline seats if not overstuffed, and definitely fits in overhead bins. Straps are pretty comfortable and the whole thing feels very sturdy, has lots of padding to protect devices. Strap across the chest is a little uncomfortable but I don't find it necessary. Excellent organization with multiple pockets and also comes with built in waterproof bag, and waterproof backpack cover. We are considering buying a second since we have so much tech gear to travel with.
