Our thoughts
The inclusion of this carry-on is interesting for two reasons.
Sometimes we feature hiking or camera backpacks, but this is the first sports and athletics backpack we've added. This backpack is specially designed for swimmers that have to carry wet gear around all the time.
This bag would be perfect for people on surfing or sailing trips as you'll need to figure out how to deal with your wet bathing suit. Stuffing wet clothes in a normally sealed carry-on won't work well. With the Speedo Printed Teamster Backpack you'll have a bag specially designed to handle we clothing.
Another cool part of this back is how I was made aware of it. Lani from (http://www.travelite.org)[http://www.travelite.org] recommended this bag. Lani's website hasn't been updated in a while but is still a great source of lite packing information.
I loved her article on drying out clothes with a towel wrap method. I've never seen that before.
Our verdict
Reasons to buy
- Specially designed for swimmers, this bag is perfect for one-bagging trips where there will be a high chance of getting wet, like beach trips, sailing adventures, or places with cold and rainy weather.
- Lots of different color options mean you'll be able to get away from "carry-on backpack black". Blues, pinks, greens, leopard print patterns, and camo are all options.
- Popular backpack with loads of reviews for a great price per liter of capacity.
- Includes a pull-out bleacher seat in case you need to sit somewhere dry that can double as a laptop protection feature.
Things to consider
- Waterproof material may be on the heavier side.
- This carry-on is very climate and activity-specific although there is always a chance to get wet while traveling.
What reviewers said
- Many reviewers have said their bag has lasted a long time and has held up nicely.
- "This bag is perfect for a swimmer who wants a hassle free experience packing and unpacking swim gear and shower essentials. The green color I chose is exactly as advertised and is very pretty in person! The bag has incredibly comfortable padding throughout the portions where support is needed along the shoulders and where a person's back meets the backpack's posterior side. There is an abundance of storage and pockets within pockets. I feel like I discover a new pocket with each use."
- Fits a lot for the capacity and the wide-open top lets you look deep into the bag.
