Bring Everything You Need Without Checking a Bag Suitcases aren't made for world travel. Their cheap plastic wheels break easily on the cobblestone streets of Europe and dirt roads of less developed countries. Most backpacks aren't much better. They're designed for hikers and are too big to be carried onto a plane. Because they load from the top, your clothes are disorganized and hard to reach. In 2009, we took a backpacking trip to Eastern Europe. The trip was a blast, but our bags were a disaster. We couldn't find the perfect travel backpack, so we made it: the Tortuga Travel Backpack. Never pay airline baggage fees again. The Tortuga is a maximum-sized carry on backpack. The Tortuga measures 22x14x9", the default measurements for carry on luggage.

(Always check your airline's guidelines before flying.) Carries like a backpack; packs like a suitcase. The Tortuga is front-loading, like a suitcase, not top-loading, like a backpack. You can easily pack your bag and keep it organized as you travel. Save your shoulders with the Tortuga's hip belt. The belt transfers up to 80% of your bag's weight from your shoulders to your hips. Because the hip belt and shoulder straps are fixed, the Tortuga will fit best if your torso is ~18-22" long. Please check the fit before ordering. The Tortuga also has locking zippers, a laptop sleeve, exterior and interior pockets, air mesh back padding, and a cover to protect the straps while in transit. Is the Tortuga Right for You? The Tortuga was designed for international travelers, backpackers, study abroad students, and digital nomads who want to pack light for trips of 1 week to 1 year. 23 x 15 x 3.5 inches Shipping Weight: 4 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) Item model number: 6537975

Most airlines allow carry on luggage up to 45 linear inches (length + width + height) which works out to a 45L capacity. The Aviator is only 28.5L. That's 37% less than what the airlines allow. We all know how restrictive airlines are. Why not take advantage of the space you're allowed to use? A smaller bag is fine for an overnight trip. camelbak dcu backpackBut, it's overly restrictive for longer trips of a week or more.alienware vindicator backpack for sale Use every inch the airlines will give you.kid cudi backpack ebay The Outbreaker travel backpack measures 22x14x9" and holds 45L. asus rog shuttle backpack for sale

It takes full advantage of your allotted space in the overhead bin. Traveling light is hard. Can you pack everything you need into less than 2/3 of a carry on? If not, don't buy the Aviator. The security line will, inevitably, be a nightmare. In order to keep the line moving and get to your gate, you need to get everything out of, then back into, your bag quickly. high sierra freewheel wheeled laptop book bag backpackHere, the Aviator comes up short.monster high backpack dctc If you carry an Aviator, removing your laptop when going through airport security will be difficult. On the plus side, it has a laptop pocket. Many "travel" backpacks don't even have that. The problem is that the Aviator doesn't have an exterior access point to reach your laptop. To put it into, or to take it out of, your bag, you have to open the entire top of the bag.

Carrying the Outbreaker, you can leave your laptop inside your bag going through a security checkpoint. Simply unzip the laptop compartment and lay the bag flat on the belt to breeze through TSA like a pro. When you're on the road, you have to carry a lot of small things: money, your passport, boarding passes, tickets, a water bottle, a guidebook, and more. The Outbreaker was designed so that you can carry this stuff, and reach it, even when your bag is on your back. No need to unhook your straps and take off your backpack every time you want something. The Outbreaker features two hip belt pockets for easy access to small items like money and tickets. The main body of the pack has two zippered side pockets for holding larger items like water bottles and umbrellas. The Aviator's only exterior pocket is on the very back of the pack. That location is fine when you aren't wearing your bag but it’s inconvenient when you are. You shouldn't have to take off your bag every time you need to show someone a ticket or take a sip of water.
