Backpack Women%EF%BC%8CCarry Approved 15 6inch Weekender Reviews Summary

Size & Capacity

Pros:

• "It’s the perfect size."
• "It holds as much as any of my other small to medium bags."
• "This fits the dimensions exactly, I was in Philadelphia for a weekend."
• "This backpack is so well organized it's like a second carry-on."
• "An absolute game-changer for flying! This travel backpack exceeded my expectations with its generous capacity."
• "This bag is perfect for airline travel or weekend trips!! It’s small enough to fit airline size requirements for your personal item, and will fit under the seat."
• "It easily fit underneath the plane seat and the design of the zippers made it easy and convenient to open up the bag and get whatever I needed out of it on the crowded plane."

Cons:

• "However, the bag bulks quickly and WILL NOT pass as a personal bag if it bulks at all."
• "All i packed was a pair of shoes and 3 outfits and I had to sit on the bag just to zip."
• "I was actually STOPPED by both airlines prior to even boarding as a heads up that I was 1 of 100s that bought this backpack to pass as personal but it wouldn’t."
• "I purchased this to use as my personal item bag on a budget airline, however i realized it was too big."
• "If you are flying a budget airline and it has to fit in the sizer without force this will not happen with this bag if you over pack it."
• "The reviews stated that this bag is Personal Item Approved, after filling my bag and adding my laptop, this bag doesn’t fit."
• "This is a small backpack. It’s too small for a week long trip."

Design & Functionality

Pros:

• "It opens all the way around so it's easier to pack than a typical backpack."
• "It functions well as a backpack, or you can tuck the straps in and treat it like a mini soft-sided suitcase."
• "The center area is great for clothing etc… Fits under the airline seat."
• "I love how it unzips and opens in the middle like a book.. and lays flat for easy packing and organization."
• "It opens like a suitcase and is easier to get to things than a conventional top loaded back pack."
• "Love being able to open it up and pack it like a regular suitcase."
• "Opens up like a suitcase, which makes it easier to organize your clothes and items."

Cons:

• "Also the side pocket can’t really hold anything when the backpack is full. I had a pack of gum and could barely pull it out it was so tight, forget about a water bottle."
• "The only downside is I thought the back/bottom had a little more structure too it."
• "The compartments of the bag were irrelevant and should have been left out because it takes up more room than it should."
• "What I did not like was that there is absolutely no structure to the backpack."
• "The pocket with the laptop holder is opposite the side that has the 2 built in bags, so when you put in your laptop with your liquids, the weight distribution is extremely weighted on the outside when it should be closer to your back."
• "If your backpack is a little stuffed, the computer on the front ends up with a bit of pressure on it from the contents inside."
• "The laptop/ipad storage was on the front so it was very front heavy making it very hard to open and get things out of the main storage."

• "Material feels really cheap like it will rip at any moment."
• "This bag got ripped while carrying it through the airport I am just glad nothing came out of it."
• "However the stitching is already coming loose after one trip so it doesn’t seem very durable."
• "This one felt very cheap and flimsy."

Comfort & Convenience

Pros:

• "The straps are adjustable, wide and well padded."
