Carry-On Travel Backpack with Carrying Handle, Padded Shoulder Straps, Sternum and Waist Belt and 15-Inch Laptop Sleeve, One Size

I needed a new bag and ordered one of these. As soon as it arrived, it was obvious it was going to be a great bag and so, naturally, my son stole it. I ordered a second one - don't worry. Great value for money, well made and with carry handles plus rucksack straps which can be hidden away. The quality of the fabric is good and I suspect it will last a good number of years, the pockets are well padded with a top smaller pocket, ideal for documents and small items. Next to that is the laptop pocket which will take a full sized laptop although I use a Surface which the bag swallowed. There is room for two devices or a device and documents/folder/notebook. The main luggage area is enough for a man to carry two or three weeks worth of stuff - women, maybe a week, we all know what you're like. It's a good size with a net zip pocket and with careful packing fits everything you would need. My son and I used ours on a week's trip to Morocco and the Sahara and everything easily fit. The final pocket is really only for the straps to be hidden away, but it will also take items whilst the straps are not in use. I wouldn't recommend putting anything important in this part of the bag because the zip is open when the straps are being used, so not as secure. There is also an expansion zip for the main compartment so that you can fit more in. However, be warned; if you intend to take the bag as cabin baggage, especially on Ryanair, using the expansion will take the bag over the minimum dimensions. However, we noticed that as we wore them like a rucksack, no one gave our bags a second glance - they are at the limit of the dimensions and we thought we might get checked. However, they fitted, when full into the Ryanair cages used to check bag sizes, so it was all good. Sits well on your back when carrying it and has carry handles like a suitcase to carry it vertically or horizontally. All in all, a great purchase and fully recommended. Only downside is having two identical bags we sometimes got mixed up - different colours might be nice.

I can't believe I got this for just 18 quid . Fantastic bag , loads of storage and robust too . Great size for a five day trip . Comfortable to carry and not too heavy . Can't wait to fill it up again . Recommended .

This has done me well while travelling across the country. Plenty of room for 4 days away and keeps your hands free for coffee and general getting about

Probably the maximum size you can possibly go whilst still being able to call it a backpack/rucksack. One you've put all your clothes and etc in for your holiday, it's on the limit of what you can call a backpack. I've used it to fly with EASYJET a couple of times and didn't have an issue. I had to slide the big bag under the seat infront of me, leaving only a narrow gap for one of my legs down the side (You need to pay extra to have a carry-on that could go in the overhead storage). The tightening straps are useful to pull tight so it doesn't look as heafty in size. There is also straps inside so you can pull tight to compact your clothes a bit more. The bag also has a laptop sleve at the back, which is difficult to slide your laptop in when the rest of the bag if full of clothes etc, but once you get it in it's fine. I put my laptop in a foam cover for extra protection - sometimes you forget how big the bag is and occasionally bang it on a lampost of fence as your walking by. The zips etc are all high quality, no issues there. the flap/storage bit at the front is quite useful and big, would be ideal if you have a really small laptop or ipad - lots of extra pockets in there too for external hardrives and battery packs - Overall it's a high quality bag, I'd probably only ever use it for the low cost airlines because it's the biggest backpack you can get that can fit under the seat infront of you - The low cost airlines hardly ever check the sizes or weight of carry-on bags (that's if you go straight through security and don't go to the check-in desk) they make everyone queue up ages before it's time to get on the plane, so when the time comes, they're under pressure to get everyone on the plane because passengers have been waiting so long - they don't bother checking anyone.

This product was amazing, I ordered to carry my office laptop and lunch box for my every day use. I love a lot space after my laptop and chargers. Design also good with good numbers of pockets. Straps also good quality. I love it.

I was initially a bit concerned that the "Amazon Basics" moniker might imply inferior quality. However my fears were quite unfounded and this really is a very well made, and practical bag. You can have it on a single shoulder strap, or wear packpack style. There's also some straps look like they would do for fastening to a baggage trolley. Perfect for short trips, as there's easily enough room for 3/4 days worth of clothes. For this trip, the bag wasn't bought for carrying a laptop, however I found that the internal the laptop compartment will securely take a 17" laptop (i.e. the computer is fully covered and the retaining strap will fasten). This is bigger than the 15" in the description, and I would suggest Amazon update their advertisement. Particularly when I've just returned a supposedly 17" laptop rucksack, which turned out would only fit a smaller machine. Overall, very impressed.

Great size, with a good number of meaningful compartments. This was also the only one of its kind I managed to find that has a waist strap. Excellent for short trips, or as carry-on when you don't have enough hands to drag more than one wheeled luggage.

Ho acquistato questo zaino per dei viaggi, anche in aereo per l'uso come bagaglio a mano e l'ho consigliato anche ad una collega che ne aveva bisogno perchè è davvero molo solido, robusto e capiente. L'ho utilizzato sempre nella versione zaino, ma può essere portato anche orizzontalmente come una valigia o a tracolla sempre in posizione orizzontale. Quando lo si utilizza come zaino è comodo allacciare la cinghia all'altezza del petto per scaricare meglio il peso. Nella tasca porta PC entra comodamente un qualsiasi portatile anche quando la valigia è molto piena e mi risulta ben imbottita, tanto che ci ho portato tranquillamente il PC senza subire danni. Molto comoda è l'apertura orizzontale a valigia per sistemare i vestiti e dentro ci sono le classiche cinghie per chiudere e tenere in posizione gli abiti. Comoda anche la tasca superiore e quella più esterna per distribuire gli oggetti. Comodissimo a mio parere il sistema di apertura che permette di aumentare o stringere il volume interno in base alla necessità e reputo molto comode anche le chiusure che rendono la valigia più "compatta" anche quando molto piena e quindi più facile da caricare in spalla. Anche gli spallacci sono imbottiti quindi può essere portato a spalla senza troppi problemi anche per tempi più lunghi, ovviamente in base al peso. Nonostante i viaggi intensi che gli ho fatto fare fino ad ora non ha subito nessun danno, le chiusure lampo e le cinghie sono come nuove. Non vi posso parlare di tenuta dell'acqua perchè l'ho usato sempre nel periodo estivo o comunque sotto un ombrello per ripararsi dalla pioggia.

Very good quality product. Very well made, Bigger than I expected. Perfect for my use.

It is very handy and useful for a short trip. Lot of spaces, and affordable

After being highly disappointed with Osprey's current price hike's, leave it to Amazon Basic's to come to the rescue with a great carry-on backpack. Don't let the low price of $34.00 (which I got the bag for) fool you. The Amazon Basics Carry-On Travel Backpack has most of the functions of the more expensive Farpoint 40, except for the lack of a water bottle holder. That to me is not a deal breaker which can be fixed with an cheap after market water bottle holder from the dollar store. The one area that shocked me, is how well this bag is made at this price point. It has that rugged feel that is daring you to throw it down the stairs, and come back for more punishment. A few reviews have complained about some of the zipper pulls breaking. Again, this isn't really a con, when you can buy a few spare zipper pulls at the dollar store. This even has a place to store a laptop for the Icing on the cake. Even if the bag only last 3 years of use, at only $34.00 your still ahead of the game in savings. You won't find a bag with all these features and functions at this price point.

Ich bin häufig für kleine Kurztripps von 2-4 Tagen unterwegs und dafür ist diese Rucksack-Reisetasche das ideale Gepäckstück. Sie ist extrem wandelbar, kann sowohl flacher Stadtrucksack, Umhängetasche für Laptop und Zubehör, dicke Reisetasche, ein kleiner Reisekoffer und sogar ein Trolley-Aufsatz sein, ganz wie man es braucht. Gerade wer oft mit Öffis unterwegs ist wird es zu schätzen wissen, sich das Gepäck einfach auf den Rücken schnallen zu können, und trotzdem sieht man beim Geschäftstermin nicht aus, als käme man gerade von einer Bergwanderung.... Angesichts des günstigen Preises (um die 40 €, im Angebot gut 30 €) hatte ich nicht viel erwartet und war daher umso überraschter von der tadellosen Verarbeitung - saubere Nähte, leichtgängige Reißverschlüsse und die gute Ausstattung. Das Material könnte zwar hier und da etwas dicker sein, aber ihre ersten 10 Reisen hat die Tasche, obwohl teilweise ziemlich vollgestopft, ohne Blessuren überstanden. Beeindruckt haben mich die Flexibilität und Vielseitigkeit. In der Mitte ist ein geräumiges, fast kofferartiges Fach, dessen Höhe man je nach "Beladung" über 4 Gurte bequem einstellen kann - so wird aus einem schlanken Rucksack im Nu eine geräumige Reisetasche. Natürlich dürfen Gurte und ein kleines Wäschenetz darin nicht fehlen. Auch das vordere Fach hat mehrere Unterteilungen, dann gibt es noch ein von außen zu öffnendes Reißverschlussfach für Kleinkram und zum Rücken hin ein wiederum unterteiltes und gepolstertes Laptopfach. Sogar die Rucksackgurte kann man bei Nichtgebrauch in ein eigenes, großes Fach stecken. Im "Rucksackmodus" nutze ich dieses gerne für die Geldbörse, denn da kommt ein Dieb vermutlich am schlechtesten dran. Tragen kann man die Tasche nicht nur als Rucksack (und das recht bequem, da die Gurte gepolstert sind, sogar einen Brustgurt gibt es) sondern auch an Griffen wie einen kleinen Koffer (hochkant oder quer); außerdem sind abnehmbare Schultergurte dabei wie bei einer Reisetasche. Last but not least gibt es eine Schlaufe, mit der man die Tasche bequem auf das Gestänge eines Reisetrolleys stecken kann.
