Travel days have a way of demanding both mental and physical multitasking. From sticking to a budget and adjusting plans on the fly to quite literally juggling bags, boarding passes, and passports through crowded terminals. A good backpack can make all the difference, freeing up your hands (and a bit of your sanity) along the way.
This Amazon favorite comes styled by TomTok. Currently on sale for $77 (down from $88), the sleek, carry-on-approved design has garnered thousands of five-star reviews from travelers who call it a “game changer” for long trips. With smart organization and a surprisingly generous capacity, it’s more than enough to handle a one- to two-week trip.

The bag has a capacity of 40 liters, which many reviewers claim is enough for a week of travel. “I’ve packed this bag for several five- to seven-day trips, and it has never let me down,” wrote one. “On my last trip, I easily fit five days’ worth of outfits (including a couple pairs), a toiletry kit, my 16-inch MacBook Pro, iPad, chargers, and a variety of accessories.” Another said that he went to Spain and Germany for two weeks with only this bag and a small sling, and was well prepared.
The bag measures 20 inches long, 13 inches wide, and nine inches deep, which fits most airlines’ size requirements. “It packs a ton of stuff and still (qualifies as) (a) carry-on bag, even by European budget airline standards,” one reviewer wrote, adding that “build quality is on par with brands three times their price.”

The bag unzips on three sides and opens like a clamshell, making it easy to pack and see everything inside. The main compartment is where you can put large items, such as clothes, shoes and toiletry bags. It even has an easy-access zipper on the very front of the bag, so you can dig something out on the airport floor without opening it completely. A separate laptop compartment that also opens 180 degrees—TSA-compliant—can hold a 17-inch laptop and a 13-inch iPad. It also has lots of slots for small devices, cables and accessories. And you won’t have to worry about your electronics — TomTok is known for its cushions, waterproof laptop sleeves and iPad covers that buyers say provide “excellent protection.”
On the outside, the bag has two compression straps and side pockets where you can keep water bottles. The material is durable, and it’s made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic. “I travel internationally monthly, including to remote parts of the world where (the bag is) subject to dust, dirt, rain, etc.,” wrote one reviewer. He said that the quality is quite good for the rough region.
While it may seem like a splurge up front, frequent travelers say this bag pays for itself in quick baggage fees. Plus, Amazon is currently offering up to 32 percent off other high-end travel backpacks, including best-selling styles from Swiss Gear, Travel Pro, and more.
