I double checked it with their frame at the airport (didn’t get a photo sorry!) but it filled it perfectly (importantly provided the top is flat & hooked in before you pack it) and fit under the seat very wellSeparately to that trip, I also used the bag when carrying my 14” laptop (inside a thick Thule protective case) and this fit nicely into the laptop pocketSo plenty of upsides, just a couple downsides:- It’s not the comfiest over long distances, there’s not a huge amount of padding on the straps, especially if it’s heavy / with a laptop in, and it’s not breathable on the surface against your back which can get a little annoying- If you leave the zip at the top and it’s full / heavy, it tends to unzip itself when holding it by the straps (easily fixed by just moving both zippers to the side or bottom though)But other than those minor points I was very happy with it, served me well, and so much cheaper than paying to bring a carryon bagSo all in all would highly recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for holiday day trips.

Ignore the reviews about the non adjustable strap. This bag has everything as described and the front strap is fully adjustable and tucks away nicely. Very impressed with the space and convenience of all the compartments. Great bag for the beach as it held my water bottles, power packs, charging leads etc and had a hidden secure pocket for my phone, money and wallet. All this and the perfect fit fit under the seat on the plane. 10/10 from me

3.0 out of 5 stars Strange smell

Bigger than expected. The recycled material whilst appeared good it had a strange fish smell. Had to return it for that reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, well thought out even down to the tag that converts to a phone holder

Not much to dislike, me and my son both had one for our flights on RyanAir and they fit snug into the size checker as described by CabinMax.Well made, versatile inside compartments, light-weight, comfortable straps.If I was going to be nit picky, could do with some clips around the main rear zip (2 top and 2 each side) to reinforce as when full of stuff and worn as a backpack there looks to be a lot of pulling force on the zip.Other than that no real complaints, performed well.

Bag itself is good quality for its price. It is light weight with pockets outside and inside. I’m not sure if you can put the bottle in if the bag is full. Roll top and hook can be adjusted but the maximum is the airlines’ max measurement. So you are good. The straps attached to the opening flap which gives the weight of the bag on the zipper. General good but might not be good for carrying anything too heavy

This is a fantastic carry on bag. The quality is high and the fabric used for manufacture is sturdy. This bag opens as though it were a suitcase revealing a spacious rectangular area. This means there is plenty of room for clothing. Ingeniously the top of the bag does not zip closed but the top folds over thus retaining a rectangular shape. Being able to access the bag through the top means you can place a few small items you may need during the journey in the top and do not need to fully open the main section to access them. The rectangular shape maximises useable space. A really great bag I’m happy to recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Robust but not lightweight underseat cabin bag - with design reservations

F.r. · 4 May 2024

The media could not be loaded. This is an unusual backpack/ cabin bag. It is very well made, is of tough material and the stitching, though single seems secure. It is also fully lined internally. The design however has me rather flummoxed. All of the sales images show the roll top strapped down, and the bag opens from the front. So what is the roll top for? It can, I suppose, be used as an open topped static sack but there is no way of closing the top to any other size than the cabin bag size with the provided closing straps, so it can’t be used as a carrying device in that way. Maybe it is my naivety about fashion, but to me the roll top design just makes closure more difficult and adds to the weight of the bag. A zipped top would allow the flexibility of loading from the top, and would require less material which would mean less weight (this bag is robust rather than light weight) and the closure would be more secure.Externally it has a full width zipped pocket on the front and another smaller one on the back. The back pocket is fixed at the sides only so that the ‘loop’ formed can be used to secure the bag to the handle of a wheely case. On one of the sides is a water bottle pocket.Internally on the opening front there is a tablet (or very small laptop) compartment, two zipped compartments, one small and one quite spacious that I guess maybe suitable for toiletries, and at the sides are two unzipped pockets. This design, with most accoutrements being placed on the opening flap will allow clothes to be packed neatly in the base, and there are two straps to keep such folded clothes tidy.So to summarise, if you simply want a lightweight Ryanair sized underseat bag, my suggestion is that this is not for you. If on the other hand you want a robustly made backpack that can also be used for the above, this is certainly that, and if you are top filling and like the roll top style I guess this is as good as a bag with a zipped top, if less secure.Incidentally there is an unpadded carrying strap on the base of the unit, opposite the roll top. I call it a carrying strap because I can’t think of any other use for it. There is another lightly padded strap on the side opposite the water bottle pocket, which might be more useful for this purpose.At the current price of £29.95 the bag is typically priced, neither a bargain or particularly pricey given the quality of the materials. I am giving a slightly higher rating (of 4 stars) thinking of those who may be keen on the design, but for me, I think the bag warrants 3 stars.
