Nisstiiv Men's Laptop, Black, 18.9x12.2x6.7inch

I ONLY travel with one backpack, no rolling luggage. Originally, I bought this backpack back in 2019 for my first-ever international trip. I took it with me to Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and then New York before heading home to the west coast. In total, I spent about a month traveling with it. I loved it. I raved about it. Even when one of the laptop panel’s zippers broke (the other broke, which only means that I can zip/unzip in one direction instead of two), it remained essentially perfect. And then I was seduced by a certain colorful, trendy brand of bucket backpack and I thought I’d try something new for my more recent trip— Portugal, Ireland, Iceland, Singapore, and Indonesia. I cannot tell you how much I regretted my trendy ways!! I missed this simple black bag and its incredible storage. Its compression zipper and straps. Its comfy straps and security pocket. Also, this thing holds SO MUCH more than a simple bag can! It’s just so organized. I’m going back to this bag again, years later (same one, broken zipper and all) because I love it so much.If you aren’t sure if one bag travel is right for you, check out YouTube and watch some videos on it. This bag is perfect for those who prefer to travel light and hands-free, and I recommend it to all my friends. It’s just a bonus that it’s so affordable. I can’t overstate just how much I love this bag.

I recently went on a 5 day trip to Tokyo; I ordered this bag specifically for it. The product succeeded in all of my needs. It's comfortable to wear and extremely spacious. I'm not kidding; I managed to fit so much into it. I'll leave a list of everything stored within at the end of my review. The build quality of the bag exceeded my expectations as well. The stitching is as sturdy as it looks and the zippers are substantial in size--not that small and flimsy type like many other bags. There really isn't anything glaringly negative I could say about it. But I suppose I'll state the obvious--if you put a lot into the bag, then the bag is going to get larger! While it was nice to be able to fit so much into it, I wasn't too popular on some of the packed Tokyo subway and monorail cars. The bag extended pretty far from my back and bumped into people a couple of times. There are straps that you can fasten to compress the load, but it did little to the large amount I had stuffed in there. As a result of tightening the straps, retrieving things from the bag became more tedious; I'd have to loosen the straps to get some things out, unless I wanted to play tug-of-war.Overall, the bag is phenomenal at it's purpose. In my opinion, the bag is completely perfect as a weekend or three-day bag. You should be able to fit everything you need to bring with room to add more. Once you push into the four to five day mark, then you'll be at your limit.Here's everything that I managed to fit into the bag for my trip:- 4 outfits (top, bottoms, underwear, socks)- Toiletry items- Car and home keys- Microsoft Surface Go laptop- Nintendo Switch in hard shell case- GoPro Hero 6 Black- Sony WH-1000XM3 noise-cancelling headphones- Apple AirPods- Portable charger- Chargers/cables for every electronic mentioned- essential documents

This thing is great for a long weekend. It has enough storage in the actual clothing pocket for a couple changes of clothing, and if that isn't big enough the front pocket is big enough to store some more clothes. The toiletry pouch didn't leak even after some lotion exploded in it. The laptop area fit my 15" x 10.25" x 1" laptop with more room to spare, plus my Nintendo Switch. There are lots of handles so you can always grab it comfortably. The straps make it so easy to walk through the airport and have two hands free, plus it doesn't put all the weight on one shoulder like my duffle bag did. It also fit easily under my seat so I didn't have to stick it in the overhead and had access to whatever I needed.The access to a portable battery is really helpful since my phone tends to drain battery pretty quickly. Also helps if you're flying an airline like Southwest that allows you to watch free movies on your phone. It doesn't come with a portable battery, so you have to get one yourself. Haven't tested the water resistance of it, but all the zippers seem to have a good seal over them when zipped up.The only things I don't like is that there are maybe too many zippers and pockets. It can get confusing trying to find what you need. Also the zippers clink around, but you can kind of lock them into each other so they don't make as much noise.Overall great long weekend bag if you need to go to a wedding or something. I wouldn't use it if you needed to be somewhere longer than 5 or 6 days and don't have access to a washer or dryer.

The pockets and compartments of this backpack were very well designed. Not only is it sleek and water-resistant, but the inner compartments are easy to get to and could fit enough clothes and accessories for a 1-2 week trip (depending on where you're going). I like the hidden zippered pocket in the back as well. The only caveats are that the shoulder straps are a bit hard/stiff and sewn too close together - there's only about 2.75 inches between them, which is OK for me since I have a small frame, but it might cut into your shoulders if you are a wider framed person. It also weighs a bit more than I expected and I wish it had locking zippers so that I could put a TSA security lock on this. I also wish it came with a hip belt, but the chest belt on this works well enough and also has an emergency whistle on the buckle. Overall, this is a solid travel backpack at a very reasonable price and it fits within guidelines for many airline carry-on and even personal item limits.
