Amazon Basics Travel Backpack, Carry-On with Laptop Compartment, 40L Capacity, Expandable for 10% Extra Space, Convertible Backpack & Shoulder Bag, Multiple Pockets, 15.8"W x 21.5"H x 8.3"D, Black

I’ve used this backpack for travel and was honestly impressed with how much it holds. I was able to pack a surprising amount of stuff into it without it feeling awkward or overstuffed. The layout makes it easy to organize everything, and the laptop compartment keeps things separated instead of all mashed together. I kept finding new pockets as I used it. What I liked most is that it doesn’t feel cheap. The fabric is sturdy, the zippers feel solid, and nothing about it gives off that flimsy budget-bag vibe. It held up well being stuffed full and carried through airports, and I never felt like I had to baby it. It’s comfortable to wear, works well as a carry-on, and just does its job without trying to be fancy. If you need a backpack that can haul a lot and still feels well-made, this one exceeded my expectations for the price.

I purchased the Amazon Basics Travel Backpack for my trips, and as a first-time travel backpack user, I’m really pleased with it. This backpack is surprisingly spacious, easily fitting clothes, essentials, and even a dedicated padded compartment for my laptop, which keeps it secure. The quality feels solid—no rips, loose threads, or zipper issues after multiple trips, which is reassuring for the price. The padded straps are a standout feature; they’re comfortable even when the bag is fully loaded, making long walks through airports or cities much easier. I don’t have other travel backpacks to compare it to, but this one checks all the boxes for functionality and durability so far. My only minor gripe is that I wish it had a few more organizational pockets for smaller items, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, for the price and performance, I’d highly recommend the Amazon Basics Travel Backpack to anyone looking for a reliable, no-frills option for travel. It’s been a great companion on my journeys!

After YEARS of trying to find the perfect travel bag, this one has taken the #1 position in my arsenal. Typically I would use my duffle bag that has wheels and carry handle, but time and many travels have begin wearing that bag down. In preparation for my trip with a 2 year old in tow, I needed something easy and hands free. After reviewing EVERY option on Amazon, it was down to 3 different backpacks. Having not traveled airlines in 3-4 years, rules and regulations change often and I was pleased to see this backpack AmazonBasics Carry-On Travel Backpack, Black has all of the up-to date regulations required. Going down the list of things I needed in a travel bag: TSA Carry on size capable. Plenty of pockets and storage for little things Expandable main compartment Laptop/Tablet storage Sturdy straps/Handles Lightweight (Depending on what I pack inside) When I received this bag, I was extremely pleased to see the quality in the build! for a 50$ bag this has EVERYTHING Comparing this bag to the other bags on amazon. I was also looking at a very large price difference ranging from 129$ to 229$. Being budget minded, I opted to try this risk free due to Amazon's return policies. (Love you guys!), again, let me say this: This bag is IMPRESSIVE. It EASILY fit my very large and bulky Dell Precision M6800 (Normal 17" laptop bags are not actually a TRUE 17" laptop bag), over a weeks worth of clothes (Carefully packed of course), along with cables, chargers, and a few personal items. The few things I wish this bag had are listed below (Hint Hint Amazon!): A brighter color interior (Amazon Orange would have been nice!) instead of the gray insides. More "clip" locations for carabiners or water bottle storage of sorts, recommendations would be a plastic clip or two at the top or bottom corners of the bag, or a clip location on the front corner of the bag, or sewn band straps on the front or bottom corners of the bag for clips. A hardened/reinforced bottom on the backpack. *See explanation below * When using this bag as a backpack, i opted to have the bag sit upright. Having a reinforced or hardened bottom side on the backpack would increase the durability of the backpack quite a lot especially with lots of use. When using in suitcase style, this would need a reinforced back padding or bumper of sorts. Overall, I have and will continue to recommend this bag in the distance future. Opting for the choices of other bags, this bag was extremely comfortable to wear, and carry (I am 6'3", and 215lbs).

Amazing backpack/shoulder strap carryon or not bag for 40$ . It is lots of bells and whistles that allow it to convert on many levels. For example, it has two Internal straps. It has expandability and it has two front zippers deep pockets. It’s pretty well organized It is not a comfortable backpack. It is comfortable enough, and it does the job for the price. If you are, however, truly backpacking, then this is not the bag for you. If, like me, you are running around backpacking sometimes, shoulder strapping it other times, and using the handle, then it’s an excellent option that our competes with many bags several times it’s price. For future reference, I do think the bag can be a little bit more square at the top. I found the tapering at the top made it a bit difficult to manage my clothing cubes . The bag is flexible, though, and I was able to put other things in those spaces and make it work. I would also say that the quality of the bag is not up to par with many of that superior backpacks that are luggage. It’s just a simple fact, but you will get years of worth out of this and it serves really nice niche. It’s also good to know that Amazon cover if it rips or falls apart. Overall, it is been a great bag for 40 bucks. I can fit enough expendable front so can use it if I want or not. It’s also accepted everywhere- fits on Ryanair..

Got this bag and took my first week trip to Montreal from Calgary. It held 1 paid shoes, 3 shirts 1 pair pants, 2 t shirts, 6 socks 6 underwear, toiletries, laptop and cable. It has a shoulder strap I used and was solid. I used the back pack straps and solid. Back is padded for carrying on your back and would do for short carries ( not made as a hiking pack. does not have waist belt) Material is that of most carryon bags Nylon simple. The price point was excellent for what I got. 1/3 less than other name brands. Will try on a trip to Europe next summer.

Excelentes materiales acabados y diseño! Es una maleta que no excede las dimensiones para equipaje de cabina aérea, sin embargo es tan espaciosa que pueden empacarse sin ningún problema las 25 lb permitidas en cabina y todo esto con la practicidad de una backpack. Incluye también correa larga para usarse al hombro o cruzada. El diseño de apertura de maleta tradicional permite empacar cómoda y ordenadamente sin que se apriete, desordene o arrugue como sucede en una backpack tradicional. Sus materiales, acabados y costuras son tan resistentes que soportan sobradamente el peso para la cual fue diseñada. La mochila vacía solo pesa 3 lb, por lo que puedes empacar 22lb. sin ningún problema además de que se puede expandir si se desea. El espacio para alojar una laptop de 15.5" cuenta con una bolsa interna suspendida y sujetada de manera que al caminar no golpea la espalda ni se mueve, se mantiene en la parte alta, además de que esa bolsa suspendida no permite que la laptop se deslice más abajo de la protección acolchonada de la mochila en la espalda y así no golpea el derriere al caminar. La parte del frente cuenta con espacio para folders o 2 cuadernos standar. La correa a la cintura y la del pecho proporcionan estabilidad y equilibrio para moverse libremente. Altamente recomendada para quien no tiene inconveniente en cargar su equipaje a cuestas y desea tener las manos libres (Lo que no sucede cuando arrastras una con ruedas) Es mi primera compra de productos AmazonBasics y ha excedido mis expectativas. Ojalá pudiera estar disponible otra vez y en variados colores porque deseo comprar otra para regalo. El precio pagado por ella ($1071.00) en mayo 2017 me pareció razonable. La recomiendo ampliamente.

I've had this for a few months now and gotten a lot of use out of it. It's a good alternative to a rolly bag which can be annoying sometimes. I prefer this backpack as it's as big (or even bigger) than my cabin rolly bag, you can travel hands free and no need to worry about what type of ground you're walking on (or up down stairs etc). It's actually slightly bigger than expected. it has a compartment for laptops and a couple of other useful compartments. It's comfortable enough to wear as hand luggage although I wouldn't recommend it as a backpacking bag as it's not really made for wearing all the time and after a day becomes uncomfortable if you've got a lot of heavy stuff in. I travel a lot and almost never check in luggage, just carry hand luggage. This bag is really good for that because it's big enough to fit everything I need (whether for a weekend trip or even 2-week beach holiday - I tend to pack light) but small enough that it fits the cabin bag regulations. I also like the red colour. It has an extra handle so you can wear it as a shoulder bag, I haven't used it myself but imagine it canbe useful for some people. All in all I recommend it!

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.
