VancropakCarry On Backpack, 40L Expandable Extra Large Travel Backpack, Flight Approved Water Resistant Luggage Suitcase Daypack, Lightweight College Business Weekender Bag for Men & Women, Black

I cannot rave about this bag enough. It's nice looking, durable, spacious, versatile and just plain awesome. I crammed so much stuff in this bag for traveling abroad, no one could believe it. Toiletries, iPad, books, snacks, a change of clothes, medications, tissues, a travel pillow, blanket, headphones, flip flops, a notebook, markers and more. The bag expands, if necessary, and has plenty of clasps, zippers, and elastic organizer straps to keep everything in its place. On my way back home, the Airport Giftshop was calling my name. I bought 3 bone china cups, 2 small bowls, a stained glass window hanging and some candy. Guess where all that stuff went? Yep...right into this cool backpack, all wrapped in tissue so they wouldn't break! The wide straps make it comfortable to use as a back pack, BUT ALSO, there is a nice padded handle if you want to carry it like a duffle bag. I love this bag. I got the eyeroll from my daughter for bringing so much crap with me and then buying more stuff at the airport, but hey, I carried it all with ease (and, because of that eyeroll, I'm not sharing that candy with her!). This bag is EVERYTHING!

Used on trip. Loved that it had 2 handles in addition to back straps!! Many compartments!! Took on 4 day trip carry on plane. Fit essentials for 4 days and fit under seat on plane!!! May purchase another just in case!!! So far very durable!! Decent price !! Love!

These bags are amazing. You can fit so much stuff in them and they are a size that is considered a carry on for airplane use. So many compartments and they are easy to carry with the backpack set up. Got one of these for my wife as well and we both love them.

The media could not be loaded. I bought 5 of these bags for a family trip to Europe. We carried all of our stuff, one bag per person. In general the bags worked great. I did have one seam on a bag start to pull out. I am hoping customer support can fix it but I don't know how to make contact.My review rating of 4 stars is based on my feeling that the bag is well designed and worked well in the style of travel we did. I took off one star as there are a few places the bag could have been improved and one bag had a seam failure.The main compartment area worked great for clothing and proved to have enough structure to allow me to pack a painting in one bag with just some cardboard for support and the art came through unscathed after 2 weeks and 5 moves. In general, I like the structure of the main pocket with the zippered flap it was easy to store smaller clothing items and keep bulkier stuff in the main space.The front side pockets are a little more complicated. I liked the front 2 straight zipper pockets. The larger lower pocket fits a quart liquid storage bag perfectly for easy access going through airport security. The larger U-shaped pocket really could use a double zipper. I really liked the storage space but I found that if I left it unzipped and then opened the main compartment everything would fall out. I think with a double zipper it would have been easier to keep it in a partially closed but accessible state. With the large flap the double zipper would allow for opening it just part way and not allowing the whole flap to open up. The unzippered pockets inside that flap are mostly useless as stuff tended to fall out of the pockets. The zippered areas inside were generally good, although on one bag I had a seem fail on the larger internal zipper. Given this was our first trip this makes me a little suspect of the stitching quality. I hope nothing else fails and that Vancropak is able to help get it replaced.The practical usability for carrying is quite good. The padding on the pack and straps were comfortable and I never felt like the straps dug in. I used the backpack and both the top and side straps at various times and I was grateful for all those options. I am not sure I understand why the backpack straps are designed to be tucked inside the zippered back pocket. As a general design principal I would have rather had a zippered tablet/laptop pocket instead of stowable backpack straps. We kept the backpack straps out all the time and I can't think of a usage model where I would want to stow the straps. Making the straps come out from the zippered back pocket made the pocket mostly useless. It also would be nice if there was an option for a waist strap. There were some times I would have appreciated that type of support.These packs facilitated a great vacation. They were easy to carry, easily fit in the various airlines' overhead space, and had about the right amount of storage for a 3 week trip with access to laundry. As mentioned one bag had a minor seam failure, it is hard to say if that was just an unlucky bag or if they have quality issues.I would have given 5 stars if the bag had a double zipper on the front u shaped pocket and we hadn't had the quality issue. The waist strap and back pocket would have been nice improvements but didn't cause a particular problem in our use case.

I've travelled with this a lot over 9 months, both domestically and internationally. I really like it. good volume, lots of pockets, seems sturdy. No issues with zippers or tears.I do wish it were slightly lighter only because of annoying flight weight limits and trying to squeeze as much in as possible within weight limits.I also wish the front pocket had 2 zippers rather than just 1, but that is a very minor issue, to be fair. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and would replace it with the same if I ever needed to.

I was not looking for a bag to store electronics or books. I wanted a bag that could hold 3 or 4 days of clothing, a few toiletries, and an extra pair of shoes. This would be a bag to either use alone for a short trip and a bag that would provide immediate clothing in case my larger luggage was delayed. I wanted it to open widely so I could efficiently pack and if going through TSA or customs to open fully in case its contents needed inspection. No USB ports, multiple pockets for "stuff", etc. One that could fit into any airlines carry-on dimensions and one that I could put on my back while I rolled my larger case, strap to the luggage handle, or carry (It has grips for BOTH the long and short dimensions!)This is the bag!It does have a small concealment pocket for passport, tickets, etc. at the back when used as a backpack, an interior pocket for a tablet if desired but that folds flat if not desired. The shoulder straps and back are vented which should prove comfortable in hot climates.Bottom-line, it's perfect for my travel criteria.The bag appears well made though usage will ultimately judge if its sufficiently rugged. I would prefer YKK metal zippers, but these seem fine (again, usage over many years of travel will test the ruggedness). I would not load this backpack with several books or heavy objects - that's not its intended purpose.

The unconditional companion of my travels, my best companion, spacious, comfortable, roomy and at the same time strong, I wouldn't change it for anything.
