for Ryanair Cabin Bags 40x30x20 Underseat Carry-ons, Water-Resistant Travel Backpack Cabin Size, Hand Luggage Bag for Airplane with Anti-Theft Pocket

I have been window shopping for a rucksack like this for absolutely ages. Things came to a head when we booked flights with cabin-only luggage. My current rucksack is tiny, and I needed a bag that maxed the hand luggage allowance on EasyJet. This rucksack fits the bill. I think it's too big for Ryan Air hand luggage, so make sure you check the measurements with the airline before you get it. Note that EasyJet doesn't really care how heavy your hand luggage is. You can get lighter bags than this, but I prefer a bag that feels robust, not light and flimsy. Things I like about this bag: There's a padded pocket against the back of the rucksack for a small laptop. It would also be a good pocket for paper documents that you want quick access to. There's a big central cavity with a zip that allows you to open it up properly for packing. Regular rucksacks open from the top, and you have to rummage around for things. With this one, the front of the rucksack flips open completely, so you can pack it properly and organise your stuff well. Inside there are cross over luggage straps to hold your clothes down, like you would get in a suitcase. There's a little hole you can slip a cable through if you want to charge a device or listen with earphones to something in your bag. On the opened flap, there's a large net pocket, and a zipped waterproof pocket that would probably be handy for a wet swimming costume or smelly socks etc. Straps on the outside of the rucksack can be tightened to squeeze the contents down. Might be useful if you aren't carrying that much, and don't want your luggage sliding around and settling at the bottom of the bag. There's a small zipped pocket on the front of the rucksack. I might put my glasses or cigarettes in there, but nothing valuable, since it would be the easiest pocket to steal from. There's a zipped pocket on the back of the rucksack for valuables, which could not be accessed unless you took the bag off your back. On the front there's also a big zipped pocket with organisation inside, including little slots for pens, a large zipped pocket, and a key fob clip. It's a good pocket for your stationery, mints, comb, whatever. On either side of the rucksack, there's large pockets for drinks. I'm glad about this, because a lot of similar bags don't have the drinks pockets, and I really wanted them. On the back of the rucksack there's a thick strap which you can slip over the long handles of a wheelie suitcase. I really wanted this feature, because it's nice to take a heavy rucksack off and wheel it on your case now and then. The rucksack has adjustable padded shoulder straps, and a sturdy handle on the top. The back of the bag is padded. In all respects the quality of the materials, zips and clips feels very good, strong and sturdy. This isn't a lightweight holdall that will lose its shape when you stuff it full of luggage, but a robust little rucksack with lots of features to make your packing and travelling efficient and easy. I am really looking forward to using it. If I remember, I'll return here once I've used it a few times, to update my review.

This bag was recommended by a friend so I bought one and am certainly not disappointed! I bought it because I did not want to have to trundle a suitcase around whilst going to and from my holiday hotel. It is functional and useful: like the number of pockets and the fact that it is secure and difficult for another individual to access its contents.. With carefully chosen and co-ordinated outfits it will be just the right size for clothes for a few days away - possibly a week away.. I also like that in black it doesn't look like a holiday bag. Its versatility means that it can be used to carry books or papers to business meetings or conferences, and the side straps are adjustable to change its thickness. The one downside is I wish that the carrying straps had been padded for a few inches more. However, they do fit snugly under my arms and are comfortable in wear

The size is smaller than described as 40x20x25cm - the total bag size is 37x15x25cm (25 is average width). It also has child-sized straps and back - with just 29cm strap distance so it doesn’t sit well on your lower back, it rode high on my back and did not feel comfortable. I have pictured alongside an adult backpack, so the difference in strap sizes can be noticed. The backpack itself was lovely - good quality fabric and made well. It took me quite a while to decide whether to keep it or not - but it just didn’t sit well on my back, so have returned. The pockets are great sized and well placed. The 2 side drinks pockets would be able to get 2 500 or slightly bigger slender bottles in, such as the metal versions. They were very deep pockets, and do not appear to loose their elasticity. I did like these - one of the reasons why I bought. Also, the secret back pocket was a great addition, along with the laptop / flat back pocket and the 2 front pockets. Great features inside. Whilst I am returning, I do feel this deserves 5 star for quality & durability - 4 star overall as the size is not 100% accurate and the straps are definitely too small for my back (I’m 5’6”)…

Great size, strong and free standing. This really is an excellent bargain. I've bought it for work as it has a pocket perfect fit my laptop but I'm looking forward to using it for my cabin bag on holiday this year. It is huge!

The perfect travel rucksack. I take this every time I travel and go on flights, it fits perfectly under the seat on airplanes, lots of handy compartments. You can easily fit a weekend worth of clothes in there. Brilliant quality material, and durable.

Needed "carryon" bags to go under the seats in a budget airline to comply with those ridiculous rules that they force on you to avoid incurring excess baggage charges on our upcoming trip to Krakow. I have say they arrived promptly (courtesy of Prime), and was immediately impressed with the build quality. Can one fit enough clothes and other necessary items for a short break? Answer yes. We were away for 4 nights and took enough clothes etc for a change every day, plus meds, spare shorts, book, toothbrush etc, and some snacks and still had room for more. The bags have loads of pockets to put all your bits & pieces in and have two external water bottle carriers that can handle 1ltr bottles. Walked down into depths of the Salt Mines in Krakow with them on loaded for our flight home after the tour with any problems, so very impressed. The only small negative was they do not have a strap that fits over your chest to stop the shoulder straps parting. Good bags at a fair price, so don't pay more that you have too!
