AmazonBasics Slim Carry On Backpack (Weekender)

AmazonBasics Slim Carry On Weekender Travel backpack review

With the AmazonBasics Slim Carry on Travel backpack, Amazon takes a shot at offering a stylish yet functional travel backpack for those who need a reliable carry-on for flights. Our first thoughts when coming across the AmazonBasics Slim Carry On Backpack was that it was a noble competitor to the popular eBags Professional Weekender at almost half the price.

The AmazonBasics Slim Carry On Backpack comes in two sizes; the weekender version which we review here and the smaller and thinner overnight version.

What we like

  • Tons of useful organizers and pockets. Great for organizing work, tech and personal items.

  • Bright orange lining makes it easy to locate and find things in a hurry.

  • For the price, we are impressed with the quality. The materials and construction compete with more expensive travel bags.

What we don’t like

  • Clips that hold the shoulder straps in place are made of cheap plastic. Not sure how they will hold up over time.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Dimensions: 20” H x 13.5” W x 8” D

  • Weight: 3lbs

  • Materials: 100% Polyester

  • Laptop Compartment: Up to 17”

With the AmazonBasics Slim Carry on Travel backpack, Amazon takes a shot at offering a stylish yet functional travel backpack for those who need a reliable carry-on for flights. Our first thoughts when coming across the AmazonBasics Slim Carry On Backpack was that it was a noble competitor to the popular eBags Professional Weekender at almost half the price.

What we don’t like

  • Clips that hold the shoulder straps in place are made of cheap plastic. Not sure how they will hold up over time.

  • Main “suitcase” compartment really can’t hold more than a change of clothes. If you need more room than go with the AmazonBasics Weekender version.

AmazonBasics Carry-On Travel Backpack

AmazonBasics Carry On Travel backpack review

The AmazonBasics Carry On Travel backpack is a large capacity backpack for those who seek a reliable one-bag solution for travel. Style-wise, the Amazon Carry On Travel backpack can be best compared to the popular eBags TLS Mother Lode backpack but at a much cheaper price. Both backpacks are essentially suitcases with shoulder straps and allow you to carry a trip’s worth of clothing and items in one convenient bag.

What we like

  • Front organizer does a great job at storing smaller items that need quick access.

  • Flexible main compartment that compresses and expands as needed.

  • Huge padded laptop compartment is perfect for larger laptops.

What we don’t like

  • Waist strap feels flimsy and does not do a good job at distributing weight.

  • No water bottle pocket on the outside of the bag.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Dimensions: 20.1” H x 15” W x 6.5” D

  • Weight: 3.64lbs

  • Materials: 100% Polyester

  • Laptop Compartment: Up to 17”
