Travel professional and BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this backpack.
“I picked up this backpack after hearing my colleague Chelsea Stewart praise it.I picked up this backpack after hearing my colleague Chelsea Stewart praise it. I had a backpack that served me well on dozens of trips for about five years, but I wanted a bag that could open and pack like a suitcase. I've taken it on countless weekends and trips abroad. As I said above^, I'm going to Iceland with just this and a Spaceback bag full of clothes.
Inside there is a mesh zippered pocket and a plastic pocket perfect for storing toiletries. The second pocket can hold enough wet toiletries to carry on a plane. The mesh pocket holds essentials like cotton swabs, medicine, and glasses. The main compartment is deceptively deep, making it easy to roll up clothes to fit Lego without using packing cubes. In fact, everything you see in the second photo in that section will fit (romper, pajamas, bikini, sunscreen, 5 pairs of underwear, jean shorts, nap dress, 3 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of socks) sandals, 2 t-shirts items, slip skirts, sleep masks, hair irons, mini irons, makeup bags, tote bags). It has an elastic X-strap to keep everything secure like a roller suitcase. Once you unzip it, everything will remain intact. However, before I forget, the backpack has a separate padded laptop pocket near the straps, which I found to be good for holding a book or Kindle if I don't have my laptop with me when I'm traveling.
I love that this backpack has deep side pockets to keep my umbrella and water bottle from falling out. In fact, I put my flashlight and umbrella in one pocket. (you could everytime Please use a flashlight. ) plus! The front of the backpack features a large, easy-to-access pocket. It includes all sorts of small extras you need to have quick access to, like sunglasses, snacks, writing utensils, and more. What's more, the backpack's straps and top handle are sturdy. I felt completely safe carrying it around or tossing it in the overhead storage compartment on the train. We love the look and construction of the faux leather and durable black canvas. The Trolley Pass-Through will easily fit into the roller suitcase you'll be dragging through the many airports you'll be dragging around. At around $80, it's not the cheapest backpack option, but if you're a frequent traveler, it's worth the cost as you'll earn a lot of miles and save a lot on baggage fees. This backpack and I will definitely go somewhere. And if something were to happen – although I highly doubt it because it's very sturdy – 100% will buy another one. I'm hooked! ”
Available from Beis Travel for $88 (available in 8 colors).
