Border Carry-On 40L Travel Backpack

Who’d ever want to use a roller bag again?

This is the second one of these we’ve gotten for all business and vacation trips. Holds a week of clothes easily. Keeps things organized. Fits in overhead on a plane. Carries comfortably when full. Zippers are bombproof. Great product. Not for the outdoors per se, but we just used it last week across three countries in Europe and multiple flights and train trips without a hitch. New features with water bottle pocket and laundry sleeve are nice too.

Good design awaiting field test

Good design, the primary reason for my purchase. However, I am about to embark on a 12 day trip, and will find out soon how good it works in the field. Construction is good, I like the waist strap that is adjustable and can be tucked away.

Quality

Well Made. The compartments make sense. It is possible to slightly over-pack it so that it won't fit in the smallest of overhead compartments but I was able to remove a jacket and it went in. I do wish that more color options were available.

Perfect airline travel bag. Fits in most if not all overhead spaces.

Good travel bag

I bought this bag a month ago for a two week trip to Japan. The bag is bulky and looks bulky whether it's half full or almost full. Either way I was able to travel on various size planes with this bag in the overhead bin or under the seat. I didn't get questioned at the gate but I did get questioned on size when on the planes but I was able to prove that the bag fit in both the overhead bin and under the seat. Unfortunately if you get asked to check the size at the gate, it does not fit into the baggage checkers when it's packed. But it does fit the airline baggage requirements online. So keep in mind that you may be asked to check it if they ask you at the gate and make you use the baggage size checker. The two issues i had were the seams pulling apart and the anchor straps kept coming undone and id have to reset them. I was disappointed that the seams on the bag started to pull apart on my trip when it was the first trip i used it on. I wish the seams were reinforced for a more durable bag to travel with when it's almost full and more durable for a longer trip. Overall, it is a good travel bag but I don't think it's one to be used on a 2 week international trip almost fully packed which is why I bought it.

Absolutely love ❤️

Absolutely love this bag and all the pockets. It has so much space but it isnt as bulky as other travel backpacks. I can't wait to use it on my trip to Japan! Also, thinking of ordering another one for my boyfriend for our trip, so we can be matching. After my travels, I will try to update this review. Only dislike is that I wasn't a huge fan of the brown color, I wish it still came in black or other colors.

Great mini-Luggage for trips

Bought for a weeklong trip to France and it worked great when moving from hostel to hostel and staying low profile in crowded cities. Could carry all the clothes and stuff I needed and pack up quickly, plus really easy to separate dirty and clean clothes. Would not use as a daypack just for walking around sightseeing but it is perfect as a quick compact luggage item.

Great bag

Used it for a 4 day surf trip to El Salvador. It had enough room for everything. Convenient compartments for organizing and keeping things neat. Comfortable to wear while full of stuff and a bit heavy. Only downside i came across is the water bottle holder does not hold a bottle secure, so when retrieving for the overhead bin my metal water bottle fell to the floor of the center aisle...really the only fault i could find. Only used for this one trip so far. Would recommend.

Very wonderful for short stays.

This is a great traveling companion for those who like backpacks. The laptop holder and duel clothing storage make this a winner for me. I’ve used this as a carry-on for planes and snuck it under a seat when not paying for one ;). This bag is everything I needed and wanted when looking for a travel backpack.

Almost perfect

Almost perfect. The only thing I would add would be compression straps. Everything else is perfect.
