Reasons to buy

  • Straps can be tucked away inside a hidden compartment making it easier to navigate through airport security or stowing the bag in the overhead compartment.
  • A unique carry strap will make the bag easier to shoulder on transit and other situations when carrying like a duffle is convenient.
  • A well-padded laptop compartment will keep your laptop safe.

Things to consider

  • Padded shoulder straps and frames can add a lot of weight.

What reviewers said

  • Extremely comfortable on your back for long periods of time.
  • This is a high quality pack. Very nicely designed, attention to detail, high quality stitching and materials throughout, ykk zippers, solid buckles and straps.
  • Perfect carry on size, unpacks like a suitcase for ease of retrieval. 100% would buy again, wore it all over Europe for many hours, very comfortable!

DEUTER TRANSIT 40 | OVERHEAD TRAVEL LUGGAGE PERFECTION
sofrep.com
It works perfectly for a quick warm weather get-away or a weekend trip. I hate paying baggage fees so anything I can carry on the aircraft has my attention. The 600D exterior fabric is rugged enough to withstand the rigors of airline travel.

For those who are on the more sporty side, the Deuter Transit is for you. It has something we wish more models incorporated: A separate bottom pouch designed to carry your shoes, a sleeping bag/pillow or even separate your dirty laundry from the clean in the main compartment. The bottom section of this backpack unzips to reveal a padded compartment designed specifically for shoes, but comes in handy for so much more.
