Maximum carry-on size backpack with burly materials, a tight (and long) front pocket, a very protective laptop pocket and a massive main compartment. GoRuck shoulder straps are a personal favorite.

great handles
optional hip straps
compression straps can get in the way of zippers, but it’s nice to strap jackets or water bottles to the outside of the bag
heavy-ish bag, so watch your weight limits
molle straps all around the bag
an excellent option for a maximum sized carry-on that will last 20 years.

We don’t accept payment for coverage unless specified as an advertisement or sponsored post, and our opinion and analysis are the product of our years of experience in product design. Most of our revenue is made through referral programs, which means that if you click on one of our product links, Matterful might receive a small commission at no cost to you. This helps support us, and allows us to keep providing videos, reviews and guides. Most of the time we work directly with small manufacturers who rely on influencers like Chase here at Matterful, and we love working these folks. We have relationships with so many of these indie manufacturers now, and they make such great products, that we're not incentivized one way or the other to recommend anything in particular to you... we stand to earn the most over time by being valuable to you, not any given manufacturers. If you’re dissatisfied with what we recommended and you return the product, we don’t see any money from it. Our continued financial success depends on making the best possible recommendations, and your satisfaction with the products we recommend.
