Hynes Eagle Carry on Backpack 38L Large Travel Backpack for Women Flight Approved Weekender Bag Laptop Backpack Men 15 inches Black 2023

This was my carryon bag for international travel and was very useful. Didn’t have to worry about roller board as wheels take up storage space and not so easy to place in overhead bins. This fit nicely under seat, and was able to pack a weeks worth of items. Its backpack feature made it easier to haul around. Roller boards are overrated.

I bought this item to fit European domestic carry-on requirements including dimensions and weight after a long search. My goal was to be able to travel around Europe without checking baggage. I had discovered that wheels on carry-on bags can add significantly to the weight (sometimes as much as 6 pounds). This is useful knowledge as some carriers are finicky about how much your carry-on baggage can weigh. I have now used this bag quite a bit and and am impressed. It is very well designed with pockets, zippers, straps, etc. in the right places and the fabric is rugged. For short walks in and out of buildings, etc. you can carry it using handle on top or side. For longer walks in an airport or on city streets, it turns into a surprisingly comfortable back pack. The straps tuck inside when done using it on your back. I also found the soft sides gave me an edge on crowding my bag into overhead airplane compartments or car trunks. It has some nice outside pockets to toss in something last-minute or something you need to access quickly and can accommodate a laptop easily. Inside is a large netted area that zips. While helpful but not necessary, I kept my self organized on a long trip with many overnights by using some packing cubes (not included). My other family members now want one of these bags for themselves.

shockingly good, especially for the price point. this is basically the perfect carry-on sized, week long not-quote-minimalist solo trip bag. it is a versatile and lightweight workhorse that doesn't waste space and weight on extra padding or straps that you aren't going to use if you're just using it for air travel. it will keep your stuff organized and cinch down to easy carry-on dimensions. I'm actually shocked how well it efficiently does everything it's supposed to and still costs half or less what I planned to pay for a known brand.

I went on a one month trip to Asia, and with the compression cubes, I was able to pack around 10 days worth of clothes with one jacket for spring/summer weather and did laundry by hand as I travelled. I also packed a small microfiber towel, compact umbrella, water bottle, a hat, makeup & personal hygiene products & 4 pairs of small/women's sized shoes (2x sandals, one pair walking shoes and one pair flats)! At first when the backpack arrived, it looked small and I was not confident that it would be able to fit everything I need, but I was wrong! Very flexible and the zippers are very durable/well made. I was able to compress everything very well with the cubes, the large cube fits one half of the backpack very nicely with some room and you can stack the smaller one on top. I only took 2 cubes for my trip and used the rest of the space to put oddly shaped/hard objects that didn't need compression. I was still able to take back some souvenirs from my trip despite only bringing this backpack and my purse for the whole month. Of course you have to pack well and roll all your clothes and take things out of their original packaging etc etc but I was overall very impressed with the backpack. It was also very light, around 1.2-1.5 lbs, so I did not exceed the 15 lbs weight limit given on some Asian budget airlines and saved tons of money because of this! The bag paid for itself! I also love how it looked way better/cuter and is easier to organize vs a camping backpack like Osprey, which I used previously for hiking type backpacking. Comparatively for a trip where you are not going to walk 10 miles with the backpack, this one is way better as you can use the space more effectively due to the cubes and the rectangular shape and the fact that it opens sideways like a traditional carry-on. It's an awesome travel buddy. This was my first time without a roller bag and I will not go back to it anymore after this. It's so nice not to have to drag around a bag going up and down subway stairs and places that are crowded. And you don't always have to look for places to store your roller luggage on the go. It's a perfect backpack for someone looking to travel light through Europe or Asia!

I vacuum sealed a weeks worth of clothes into this bag and it all fit perfectly with room to spare. The bag itself is really nice and easy to handle and carry. The straps inside are kind of ill positioned so I crisscrossed them as you see in the photo. Just as they are, they barely stay on the edge of the clothes flat and bunches up when lifted upright (also part of the reason I vacuum sealed them). I would really give it 3.5 stars. It was on the small size compared to other carry ons people were traveling with. It’s about the same size as a standard backpack just a different shape and a more accessible zipper. The worst part was that if you wear it like a backpack, your back gets extremely hot even inside in the ac. I purchased two, one for myself and one for my husband and his did the same thing. It almost feels like you have a laptop turned on in your bag the whole time, which I didn’t have any electronics at all. The pockets are good for separating items and there are a lot of pockets and compartments. I like how the front zipper can hold everything I need for travel without having to access any other compartment. The straps are also comfy and the pack didn’t feel heavy or hurt my back which is always a plus. I like the bag and will hang onto it and use it for future travel but can’t say that I would buy it again if I needed to repurchase.
