AmazonBasics carry-on luggage (2023)

A quality carry-on backpack is essential for most travelers, but it can cost a lot of money. That's where the AmazonBasics range comes to the rescue! They offer a good quality range that gets the job done at a low price. While some travel backpacks are sleek and stylish, they lack functionality or space.

While other suitcases with a lot of interior space lack comfort and damage the posture and the back due to the poor transport of heavy weights. In our quest to review the AmazonBasics carry-on travel backpack, we focused on construction, exterior specs, features, and capacity.

The AmazonBasic tote backpack is your average black backpack, boring and plain on the outside, with plenty of room on the inside. But like most travelers, especially solo travelers, you know you don't want luggage that stands out or draws unwanted attention, and that's exactly what you get with this backpack.

In terms of size, this backpack doesn't have the streamlined design we're used to and can feel bulky at times, but that also means you're not constrained by space when packing. Also, this backpack conforms to most if not all carry-on regulations, which is great!

Overall, this backpack is ideal for a travel backpack, weekend getaway or business trip. Its simple design doesn't look like a fancy backpack to take to a corporate office, but if you work in a more relaxed environment, this backpack will satisfy all your needs.

To dive deeper into the analysis, let's take a look at the main criteria we want to have in our backpack:

construction

This backpack is made of durable lightweight polyester that offers you comfort and security for your belongings. While some backpacks feel stiff and heavy, this backpack was specifically designed with those materials in mind to be lightweight and flexible.

However, this also means that this travel backpack is not waterproof. So remember to have your mini umbrella with you in case it rains. The zippers are also not sewn, making it impossible to withstand rain.

Speaking of zippers, the main compartment uses SBS zippers while the rest is unbranded, but all the zippers open and close easily.

This carry-on backpack features padded shoulder straps and a back panel. It is padded with polyethylene foam and offers a high level of comfort.

Most of the straps on this backpack can be undone or tucked away, allowing the pieces to hang and giving you a more streamlined look. Compression straps can be used to hold a tripod or to compress the bag if needed.

The AmazonBasics carry-on travel backpack comes with an additional strap that allows you to convert your backpack from a backpack to a shoulder bag in an instant.

There is a pocket for passing luggage on the back of the backpack, which is great if you want to toss your backpack on the roll handle.

Finally, there is no water bottle pocket in this backpack. However, this is not a problem and can be solved by tossing your water bottle in one of the storage compartments.

Capability

front pocket

The front pocket is ideal for small items such as passports, cell phones, wet wipes or visas. Basically anything you need to access on a regular basis. However, be sure to keep valuable items where uninvited guests can easily get their paws.
Inside there are two sleeves and a pen holder. Underneath are two large mesh pockets for storing additional technical equipment.

Finally, on the flap of this compartment is a lid. We still don't know what to put in it, but it's there if you need it.

The main compartment measures 5.5 x 13-14 x 21.5 inches making it easy to store all your belongings! It opens fully as a clamshell design, making it easy to pack and find things without having to search aimlessly.

It comes complete with an organizer, expandable storage, a key clip and a hidden pocket for a water bottle. That's why the lack of an external water tank doesn't bother us too much.

A zippered mesh holder stores any belongings you want to separate from the crowd and keeps your bag a little more organized. The fully expandable zipper creates 10% more storage space, so you can store all your keepsakes for family and friends.

Nowadays most people hardly go anywhere without our laptop or ipad. That's why a good laptop bag in your backpack is a must! The AmazonBasics team took this into account when developing an adjustable strap system that fits most laptops up to 17 inches.

Thick padding on the front and back ensures your tech is safe in your pocket.

By now we know that the AmazonBasics carry-on travel backpack is budgetduffel bagwith expiry date. It won't last a lifetime, but it will definitely last a few years. And honestly, at such a great price with great features and functional conveniences, what more could you ask for?

When reviewing the AmazonBasics carry-on travel backpack, we were pleasantly surprised. Finding a quality and affordable travel backpack is not easy, but this might be the solution.

Amazon is not stupid. They know what people are looking for and they know how satisfied customers are after a purchase. Much of the AmazonBasics range reflects this knowledge and a seemingly successful attempt to use it to sell one's own product.

The simple design, the space and the padded back and shoulder straps definitely won us over. It's functional, practical and affordable, making it ideal for the budget traveler, day trip or weekend getaway. But it doesn't last long with heavy use.
