Carry-on Compliance

Disclaimer: We take the measurements of the bag provided by the manufacturer and compare them to the allowance listed on airline websites. This should be used as a guideline rather than a rule. Bags can change size as you pack them out, and every airline's interpretation of compliance is different. Just because a bag is listed as carry-on compliant here doesn't mean that the airline will interpret it that way.

Usage Timeline

Initial Usage

Condition: Excellent

• Digging the sleek profile
• Interested to see if we notice the lack of hip belt
• Organization seems alternative

2 Weeks of Use

Condition: Excellent

• Back panel and shoulder strap padding are substantial enough to keep the bag comfortable when it’s full
• Definitely need the sternum strap to take weight off if the bag is overstuffed
• Plenty of pockets around the bag for quick access to small gear
