The bag boasts an impressive expandable 35L to 45L capacity, and though it's made from a heavyweight 1000D Cordura exterior, the whole package only amounts to 1.6 pounds. It accommodates laptops like its nothing, easily packing in a 17-inch model. Thoughtfully placed pockets keep things tidy and organized, plus a strap system comes in handy for lumpier loads. Made to suit 98% of airline requirements, this is a go-to bag for the taking the skies.
