POWAITER Carry on Backpack, Large Travel Backpack for Women Men Fits 17 Inch Laptop, Airline Approved Luggage Suitcase Backpack with 4 Packing Cubes for Business, Weekend or Overnight Trips-Gray

The Powaiter Carry-on Travel backpack is all business. It looks professional and is designed to organize and meet all of your packing needs. I love how it opens up flat like a suitcase. When you unzip the main compartment, youll see the top side has two same-sized zippered compartments -- one mesh and one waterproof. The main compartment meanwhile has a small zippered pocket for valuables and a zippered pocket where you can put a power bank to connect with a cord that leads to a USB port on the outside of the backpack for easy phone charging. The main compartment holds the 3 packing cubes and shoe bag that comes with the backpack (*note -- these are not compression bags). It should be enough space for up to a 2 or 3 day trip depending on how you tend to pack. You can expand the size of the main compartment by unzipping one of the outside zippers. The front of the backpack features a smaller compartment that has a dedicated space for a laptop and slots for pens and a phone, and a larger and a smaller zippered pocket for valuables. Theres also two zippered pockets on the outside of the front of the backpack and one zippered pocket on the bottom third of the back of the bag. So many secure pockets! Theres a side pocket for a water bottle, a strap for putting around a luggage handle and adjustable buckles to compress the main compartment and make it less bulky. The backpack can also convert to a duffel by stowing the straps away in a zippered pocket in the back and using the side handle. In terms of comfort, the back of the backpack is padded and has breathable mesh. The shoulder straps are wide and cushioned and there is a chest strap to keep the backpack from swaying. While full of really smart features, the backpack is missing two things I wish it had: a waist belt to keep the weight off your shoulders and at least one locking zipper to keep a wallet extra secure. When I packed for a 3-day trip, the backpack weighed about 17 pounds. My pet peeve when it comes to traveling is having sore shoulders from too heavy of a bag. The Powaiter carry-on backpack was comfortable enough going through an airport. However I wouldnt want to wear it for hours on end.

This large backpack is perfect for traveling when you don’t wish to have an extra suitcase. It has a large main compartment suitable for clothes and shoes. There are three compartments on the exterior front, plus two more compartments on the underside. The lower ends of the back straps detach and can be stored in the upper underside compartment for times when you’d prefer to carry the backpack like a suitcase. The main compartment opens fully (like a suitcase), making packing easy. The product includes two cases that fit in the main compartment for organizing loose items. One unusual aspect of this backpack is how the back straps connect to the backpack. The upper ends of the back straps are where you would expect them, but the lower ends attached to the front, rather than the back, of the backpack. This means when using only one strap, the backpack will tend to sway from your body. Other than this oddity, the product is well designed and well manufactured with quality zippers and materials. I am glad I ordered it and look forward to using it this summer on vacation.

I love this carry on bag! Its well made. Great quality. Its very spacious. It has a lot of zipper pockets. Theres an area to store a laptop. I like how the shoulder straps are hidden, giving you the option to use them or not. The straps are padded, I like that. It has a strap so that you can hook this bag onto your luggage, as well as a carrying strap. In addition, it has a smaller, much lighter replica bag inside. This replica bag can be used for miscellaneous items, such as socks, bras, makeup, etc. I really love this carry on bag and Im sure you will too. I would definitely recommend it!

Recommended, based on first impressions. I havent yet traveled with this product, but believe it will hold up well. It took a bit of exploring to find and appreciate all of the little features built into this product. A product guide showing where things are hidden would have been nice to have in hand. Regardless, I found everything. Eventually. A few things are worth highlighting. First, the product can be configured in several ways. For example, the backpack straps and strap clips can be tucked away in compartments specifically designed for that purpose, such that the backpack becomes a soft shell suitcase. Second, slim pockets of various sizes are accessible from the front, allowing easy access to e-readers, phones and laptops during security screenings. Third, the product opens like a backpack or a suitcase regardless of how configured, making for easy packing and great travel access. Fourth, clips are built in on either side of the main compartment zipper - with clips closed, this product is well protected against the wrong toss or bounce popping it wide open. I could go on, but instead, I recommend a careful reading of the product description. If you order this travel backpack, review the product photos and description online after it arrives - everything pictured in those photos actually exists somewhere on this product - explore a bit and youll find every feature. Bottom line - I am looking forward to using this product on my next trip.

I really like the looks of this travel bag, and all of the features it packs. The handles are sturdy and are in useful spots, the zippers are decent (love the zipper pulls too) and there are plenty of compartments for gear when you travel. I like that the main compartment zips all the way open like a suitcase too. The backpack straps are nice, and easily stow away so that your pack becomes luggage. I have yet to use the expansion zipper but Im glad its there to get a little more space when needed. The packing cubes are a nice bonus - they match the style of the travel pack, and are quite useful for organizing your things when traveling. Construction is quite good for the price, and I cant think of any criticism of this bag. It is now my go-to travel bag. Highly recommended!

I like the aesthetics of the bag and it is very functional. The material feels tough and resilient and the stitching is tight and seems strong. The free organizer bags were a nice addition. I put a full set of warm weather and cool weather clothes in the large bag and strapped it into the main compartment and I still have plenty of room for electronics and such.

This is a really well-designed bag that can be used as either a suitcase or backpack. I like that the shoulder straps can be tucked away into a pocket in the back when not in use. There are oodles of zippered pockets on the inside and outside of the bag to help you stay organized. It also comes with three packing cubes and a shoe bag. In the photos, I’ve stuffed the packing cubes with towels to show how much they can hold. This bag also has the capacity to expand several inches by unzipping a zipper in the midline of the bag so you’ll have room to pack those souvenirs you might acquire on your trip. What I like most about the bag is how lightweight it is, especially if you plan to carry its contents on your back. Lastly, the thick padding around your lower back makes it easy to wear as a backpack. I can’t say enough good things about this carry on backpack, especially given its very reasonable price.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this convertible carry-on bag/backpack. It is nicely compact for storage and with the expansion option, opens up large enough to hold all I would need for a weekend trip with an easy to carry option or straps to make it a backpack. Everything is laid out perfectly with this bag. The first photo is the overall view from the front. Second photo shows the nice detail provided on the side pocket for a water bottle with the elastic sewn in (it is on both sides) to make sliding your bottle in easy. Such a simple but appreciated addition! Third and fifth photos show open view of the bag unzipped with the extra bags on the right hand side. They store nice and flat if you don’t need them but, are very handy to have in the event you do need some extra storage along the way when traveling. The 4th photo shows one of the interror side zippered pouches that holds the port for plugging in a power bank. This is my first bag to offer this and I love having this option. The connection is conveniently located on the outside of the bag to connect my device to. The front zip out section to hold a laptop is nicely padded and offers multiple compartments for paperwork. I also love how the straps to convert to a backpack are hidden inside one of the back pockets. The ease with which to make the conversion is perfect. The 7th photo includes a marker to show how deep one of the outside pockets is - my fingertips are at the spot where the brown paper is resting. A small detail, but it is not common to see and is a nice feature. The last photo shows the handle which is thickly cushioned and covered with breathable fabric. The shoulder straps are also very well cushioned, sturdy, and attached securely. I will be breaking this in on my next weekend trip and look forward to seeing how it performs in action!

this is a pretty cook travel backpack. its a small piece of luggage but is a backpack! its convenient and easy to use. its durable and sturdy and great for travelling, especially for weekend trips. comes with 4 smaller bags to put stuff in. very nice bag overall.

Plenty of space for a few days of clothes and toiletries plus extra zip area on the outside for laptop, notebook, and travel docs. Purchased the bag so I could air travel with crutches and it worked great!
