Vancropak Carry on Backpack, Airline Approved 45L Travel Backpack with 3 Packing Cubes for Men Women

This carry-on backpack is the best thing I’ve bought for the airport! I traveled with American Airlines using my carry-on luggage and this backpack, and had no problems at all. I could take everything I needed for my trip. The quality is great, and there’s plenty of space to stay organized.

Great quality, lightweight, perfect size for traveling.

If you are looking for a hybrid suitcase/regular backpack, this isn't it. You won't find a slot on the outside to hold your umbrella/water bottle, a place to charge your phone, or a slot to put your laptop. It's a backpack that is indeed a suitcase. There is one small (pen holder, zippered mesh slot for keys) and two large compartments on the outside (not large enough for a laptop, but large enough for a smaller tablet, kindle or a small folding umbrella) , and a large hidden compartment on the backside (much larger than most). There's no place to tuck in the straps. It opens up like a clam shell with the one side offering no netting or slots. The main packing area is HUGE, and that's without expanding it. I found out quickly because mine came so misshapen and wrinkled (it certainly doesn't look smooth like the photos), that I stuffed it full of clean laundry. You can barely tell it has anything in it! This thing is ready for some serious packing; it could easily hold multiple days of clothes. It comes with three very nice black packing cubes: a large one that is the length of the inside of the backpack, a medium, and a smaller one that is more waterproof for liquids. The backpack has a very nice what appears to be waterproof interior lining, and the outside material appears to be at least water resistant. I will revise my review once I take it on the road in a few weeks. UPDATE: I used it for my 2-day trip to NYC and it worked like a charm! I definitely could have packed so much more in it. I walked a LOT with the backpack on my back ,and the padding on the straps and on the back (and the buckle across the chest) were comfortable. I had no problem with the zippers breaking or any signs of stitching unraveling. The only slight drawback is that, despite all the packing, it is still slightly wrinkled after having it for nearly a month! But I'm not making a fashion statement, I just want something that works for me. And this travel backpack definitely does! UPDATE 12/20/25. This backpack has been with me on several European trips and recently to French Polynesia. On the latter, on my return flight home I was able to lay it flat enough to place in my check-in suitcase (since I no longer needed it for an extra pair of clothes as backup). AND I lost it on a trip to Canada. While trying to get it back to the States via FedEx (don't use them for international shipping!!) it traveled multiple destinations before it reached me and it held up like a champ!

Very nice. Lots of pockets.

I could fit SO MUCH into this bag. My favorite travel bag. I fit a weeks worth of clothes in the bag (and I don’t pack light) easily, with room for my makeup bag, toiletries, book, iPad, and a pair of sandals.
