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 opened like a suitcase and was easy to pack. Since then, I've taken it on many trips to Iceland and overseas 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). And like you'd find on a roller suitcase, it has an elastic X-strap to keep everything secure, so everything stays in place even when you unzip it. However, before I forget, there is a separate padded laptop pocket near the backpack strap, which is good for putting books or his Kindle if he doesn't have a laptop with him while traveling. got it.
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 can always use a flashlight.) Plus! The front of the backpack features a generously sized pocket that provides easy access to sunglasses, snacks, pens, and all sorts of small extras that you need quick access to. What's more, the backpack's straps and top handle are sturdy. I felt perfectly safe carrying this around and throwing it in the overhead bin 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, which I highly doubt because it's so durable, I'd 100% buy another one. I'm hooked! ”
Available from Beis Travel for $88 (available in 8 colors).
