Product details

  • 35L 4.1lbs / 55 x 32 x 21 cm; 21.5 x 12.5 x 8 in 
  • 45L 4.4lbs / 60 x 33 x 24 cm; 23 x 13 x 9 in 
  • The expansion compartment adds 7 cm of depth to both bags. Width and height remain unchanged.

This bag is carry-on compliant with most major airlines, even though the dimensions may not be within limits.

When designing our bags, we design for optimal proportions and desired carry traits. While we do consider airline luggage dimension rules, we don’t strictly adhere to them because soft luggage is malleable.

For one, they all vary depending on who you’re flying with. Two, airline rules are meant to ensure bags fit into the overhead bins and under your seat on their aircraft, and as long as your soft luggage is close enough to their dimensions it will fit within the luggage size tester and the overhead bins. In our experience, airlines rarely check or measure soft luggage, and if you’ve packed the bag normally (meaning not too overstuffed), it will fit.

As they say, your mileage may vary, but our team has traveled on hundreds of flights with our largest 50L bags (technically way over the carry-on limit), and we’ve never had a problem. If you ever do have an issue we’d love to hear about it. Happy travels!

  • Premium 500D recycled nylon exterior 
  • 70D light grey recycled nylon interior 
  • PFC-free durable water resistant coating 
  • Durable hardware and YKK zippers throughout 
  • Heavy duty bar-tacks reinforce all handles and stress points

You can wipe, spot clean, or on occasion machine wash it at your own risk. Results may vary depending on machine and settings.

Everything I've been looking for!

I love this bag so much. I had been looking at this bag for months. It had over exceeded my expectations! I love the green color that I got and I love the thick and sturdy material it is made out of.

35L is Plenty of Space

I recently got the Travel backpack and the 15L EDC and I realized on my first trip that it was easy to overload the backpack and for it to be too heavy(60lbs + taking care of my 4 kids). This backpack has a ton of room and very well organized. I am sure that I will get better at packing it out, but this backpack suited us well for our trip.

Excellent backpack!

FAQs

We ship to the US, Canada, Australia, UK and more. Check out the full list of countries that we ship to here.

The Travel Backpack is not completely waterproof, but the materials have been treated with a PFC-free DWR (durable water resistant) coating.

There's a loop of cord on top of the water bottle pocket that you can fasten around the neck of the bottle – if your bag is sideways or upside-down, the cord will secure your bottle, and it won't fall out.

The dedicated TSA pocket was designed for stashing and grabbing items you have to remove from your pockets before going through the security checkpoint at the airport. This pocket, as unassuming as it may appear, makes getting through TSA a breeze. 

Step 1 - Rather than using the plastic bins to pass your personal items through security, pull out the mesh pocket located on the padded back panel of the Pakt Travel Backpack and stow your passport, phone, keys, and wallet securely. We like to do this while waiting in line. 

Step 2 - Once through security, rather than join the scramble of travelers collecting their different belongings, you can quickly grab your bag and head to a comfortable spot to reorganize. The red label serves as a reminder to grab your laptop or anything that you had to send through the X-Ray separately.

We took the idea of the built in waterproof pocket from version 1 of the Travel Backpack, and created an optional, removable Clip-in Waterproof Pouch. This allows users to completely remove it for use as a toiletry kit.

The backpack can be used as a carry-on for all major airlines, and will sometimes pass as a personal item. The bag fits perfectly in the overhead bin, and if it is not overpacked, it can fit under the seat in front of you in some major airlines.
