Yes. The Travel Backpack Pro 40L is designed to meet carry on size limits for both US and international airlines. The Pro measures 22 x 14 x 8 inches (55 x 35 x 20 cm) and always fits in the overhead bin.
The dimensions maximize both your packing space and your bag's carry-on-compatibility across airlines. Take one bag as a carry on anywhere in the world.
Yes, the Pro is built for comfort with a height-adjustable harness, weight-bearing hip belt, and load lifters. This hiking-style suspension system transfers 80% of your pack's weight from your shoulders to your hips for an easier, more comfortable carry.
The Pro is heavier than some bags, including Tortuga's Travel Backpack Lite 40L. However, the Pro's advanced suspension system transfers weight off your shoulders so that it carries lighter than other bags. You'll find that other bags can weigh less but feel heavier because of a simpler suspension system and a minimal hip belt.
You can fit 7–10 days' worth of clothes and accessories in the Pro 40L, depending on your packing style and climate. By doing laundry every 1-2 weeks, you can travel indefinitely with this bag.
Yes, the Pro is designed to be one-size-fits-all and features a height-adjustable suspension system that fits the widest possible range of travelers. Check out the video and instructions here to ensure a perfect fit. If you don't love your bag, you can return it unused within 30 days for a full refund.
Choose the Pro if you want maximum packing space, comfort, and organization. The Pro is best for digital nomads and travelers taking long international trips where one bag has to do it all.
