"The Travel Lite is a full pound lighter. It makes a world of a difference. I just took this pack with me on a 2 week trip to Scotland and it outperformed my expectations."
—Katelyn, Verified Buyer
Yes, the Travel Backpack Lite 40L meets both US and international carry on size limits. The Lite is 22 x 14 x 8 inches (55 x 35 x 20 cm) and always fits in the overhead bin. The Lite's dimensions maximize both your packing space and your bag's carry-on-compatibility across airlines.
Yes, the Lite is built for comfort, featuring padded shoulder straps and back panel, a weight-bearing hip belt, and load lifters. This advanced suspension system transfers 80% of your pack's weight from your shoulders to your hips for an easier, more comfortable carry.
The Lite fits 19-21 inch torsos. For a more flexible fit, try the height-adjustable Travel Backpack Pro.
Choose the Lite if you want the same capacity as the Pro in a lighter-weight backpack and don't mind less organization, weather-resistance, and size adjustability.
The Lite 40L holds about 7–10 days of clothing, similar to the Pro, but with a lighter, simpler build. If you do laundry once per week, you can travel forever with it.
Yes, the Lite weighs just 3.5 lb (1.6 kg), a full pound less than the Pro.
