Our Thoughts

The Kathmandu Litehaul 38L Carry-On Pack by Kathmandu is the best friend of every savvy traveler. Its streamlined, sleek design, with dimensions of 28.45 inches tall, 32 inches wide, and 55.88 inches deep, makes it the ideal carry-on for those who wish to navigate the bustling airport corridors swiftly and stylishly. Despite its lightweight frame of a mere 1.31 pounds, this backpack has a roomy 38 litre capacity - perfectly tailored to carry everything you need, and nothing you don't. Compatible with most airlines, this carry-on pack offers the versatility to accommodate your unique travel needs, no matter where you're headed.

Constructed from recycled polyester/nylon, the Kathmandu Litehaul 38L Carry-On Pack is sturdy and durable and champions an eco-responsible cause. As consumers, each purchase we make is a vote we cast to favor the world we want to live in. By opting for products crafted from recycled materials, we contribute to a greener, more sustainable future - and that's exactly what this backpack promotes.

But the innovation does not stop there. We all know the frustration of digging through our bags in search of our laptop, only to find it nestled at the very bottom. You'll be pleased to know that the Kathmandu Litehaul 38L Carry-On Pack has a specialized laptop compartment that can accommodate a 17-inch laptop. Now, your tech is just a zip away.

Let me top it off with a few additional perks that make this bag a cut above the rest. The hide-away straps keep the bag streamlined and dangle-free when stowing it in overhead bins or under seats. The suitcase-like opening turns packing and unpacking from a chore into a breeze. And, the cherry on top - the Air Pod System (APS) harness brings comfort and ventilation, making your travel experience as effortless as possible. These elements all combine into a carry-on that is not just great to buy but a joy to own and use.

👍 Reasons to Buy

  • Made from recycled materials so that makes the bag eco-friendly.
  • The straps can be stowed away in order to make the bag dangle-free when storing it in tight places.
  • The suitcase-like opening makes packing and unpacking a breeze with this bag.
  • The Air Pod System (APS) harness is truly comfortable to use and offers good ventilation.

🤔 Things to Consider

  • Could use some more external pockets for your small things.
  • Has limited organization inside the bag.

💬 Reviewers Have Said

  • "I bought one for my husband in December doing FIFO and on planes most days. He loved it so much, and I got FOMO so I bought myself one! I love that it opens like a suitcase. The worst part of backpacks is that everything you want is always at the bottom. It’s light and made to cabin baggage standards so I don’t have to stress. There are ample pockets and the straps you aren’t using tuck away conveniently."
  • "After traveling the past few years, we realized what works and doesn't work for when we travel. I brought this bag for my brother as a replacement to the carry-on luggage that he hated wheeling out in the narrow aisle of the plane, especially after a long flight. I like that the bag opens up like a suitcase and has all of the pockets at the top for easy access. It's super light and we can make the most out of the carry-on luggage allowance. My coworker also purchased this bag after seeing my purchase because they too hate wheeling out luggage off the plane."
