I saw this backpack-suitcase once on the airport. Another traveler has it as a hand-luggage. I think it’s really awesome!
Omg, it looks amazing! So convenient 🙂
I think this cabin bag looks fabulous! Being able to carry it on your back OR wheel it about would be so useful! I think you should definitely go for it 🙂
For those with a desire or need to travel world-wide, this is a real boon. This is a perfect carry-on backpack for digital nomads and for someone who is very particular when it comes to organization. Not to mention that its size will fit the current carry-on size limits of most airlines world-wide. So yes, go for the Standard Luggage carry-on – no doubt about it. 🙂
Man, I love a good laptop pocket! Great post, y’all!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thanks!
Look great! 🙂
Definitely! You’ll feel much freer not lugging loads of stuff you don’t really need around!
I can see why you’d be sooooo tempted to ditch the backpack and go Standard 3 in 1. It’s awesome. I love the streamlined look and the complete zip around making it so much easier to access and organise your stuff. Do it!
Caramba, parabéns pelo sucesso, Natalie e Cadore! E que mala animal essa aí, hein?
As a backpacker, I’m constantly trying to reduce the size of my backpack so I can enjoy the journey more comfortably. Standard luggage could be the game changer and like the article claims, I could finally ditch that check-in piece!
Can’t wait to get hold of one!
I love this post! You’ve done a wonderful job and the competition is very, very well-run.
The Standard definitely seems like the way to go. It’s efficient, space-saving, and versatile. There’s nothing wrong with a good ‘ol fashioned backpack but if you’re going to be a full-time wanderer, why not voyage in style?
Great post and beautiful site, thanks for being such a valued member of Travel Blogger Tales.
This is fantastic! We travel via carry-on and one of ours just took it’s last flight when we travelled back to Canada (it did survive a year of travel around Asia before it fell apart!) Fingers crossed for winning this but if not, I’m thinking I’ll need to get one of these anyway!
Nice professional look for someone on a business trip who plans a few extra days at their destination and can be hands-free if they like.
Awesome review. Now I want one!
This is the first carry on backpack I’ve seen in a while that actually looks nice enough for me to consider getting!
Hi, Cool! I need new carry on luggage! This one seems really elegant.
Cool! I just need one and this looks really elegant.
This bag looks super cool! And you both model it so well!!!
I’ve been after something like this for ages! I take a lot of long weekend breaks so it would be perfect 🙂
The bigger bag you have the more you pack. A smaller bag means you only take the necessities and it’s much easier to get around.
I do need a new smaller bag! This would be perfect, lost my small duffel earlier this year… For short trips it would be perfect. I don’t know if I can do long trips yet with just a small carryon. Need to work up to that lol
No, don’t leave it behind….use the backpack.
Yay Nat n Rob!
Welcome to the carry on club 🙂 Your bag looks great!

My son travelled in Asia and Europe. He left with a carry on backpack and came back loving this way of travelling. You save so much money on plane tickets not checking in bags. The new way to travel! Less is more and this bag looks perfect for our next adventure!
This would be ideal for my up-coming trip to Corsica. I love the ideal of travelling light and it’s even better when it looks so stylish too!
Go with the Standard bag.
Pretty cool luggage! I want 🙂
Go for it!! I myself have been looking for a luggage like this, great as a backpack but not too sporty. And I love the smart pockets! Am always into pockets and different small bags for packings, so High Five Rob for packing cubes!! Hahaha..
Amazing luggage , LOVE the concept! 🙂
Yes, travel with this instead! So much easier to minimize possessions and travel carry-on. I’m looking for something just like this, so fingers crossed!
utilitarian and classic. what’s not to love?
I was loving this bag, then you mentioned the interchangeable tags etc, and THEN the packing cubes – awesome!
If you can fit all your essentials in here it’s a great idea – looks great when you arrive in a city an have a bit of time before you can check in anywhere and sure it would make you feel very free to not be carrying around unnecessary bulk.
Would love a bag like this one. After carrying just a backpack for a while, it would also be nice to have something that could also function as a more traditional suitcase, especially for work travel!
Fab giveaway what a great case
This would be very convenient, especially for travelers like us. A fashionable bag yet can contain all the stuff that we need
Yes! Absolutely! It’s so much better to travel light and be flexible!
Thanks for the contest
Yes! Absolutely! It’s so much better to travel light and be flexible!
Thanks for the contest !
Sooo convenient ! I want it for my next trip !
Love this! I could really use it for my next trip!
You should definitely go for this leaving the backpack behind. Neither too large nor too small. Stylish and compact. Looks great, more sophisticated than any rucksack. I usually carry two backpacks – one for my laptop, chargers, notepad etc., the office stuff as you said, while the other for clothes, shoes and all those things. This bag looks like a great package to fit that all into one. I’m already swooning over 😉
The Standard Luggage carry-on, of course!
Looks great!
Thanks for sharing the secret of this amazing bag. I’m so tempted to get one!
Ohhhhh this looks great! thanks for the giveaway!!
this looks great! would love to use this on my honeymoon
It’s great that it even fits the Ryanair allowed size! Last year at TBEX I got penalized by them because my bag had gotten too thick, not funny 😉
I’ve been searching for the right backpack for quiet some time now but nothing is the perfect fit. If I win this backpack, I already have plans to use it on my trip to Iceland in the upcoming months.
My wife and I are currently looking for a backpack for our RTW travels and this would be perfect! We would absolutely love to win this!
Wow! Everyone is talking about this carry-on. Thanks for the in-depth review. Would love to win one and see for myself.
Maybe yes. If we organize well our luggage and optimize space and don’t carry unuseful things.
I love products that have features that are packed all in one, particularly this bag. It gives you that convenience, while you travel in style. That is one bag that you should use all the time because I would! 😉
I want to go to there
I love it!!
I’m full of backpacks and luggages, but this one seems really the perfect combination!
Such a versatile bag! Would be great to have it!
Love this backpack. Thanks for the opportunity
Gimme.
It looks very practical! However, it seems to big to take for free on cheap European flights.
I try to do carry-on only when I travel. I hate waiting for checked bags at the airport, and the possibility of my bag getting damaged or not arriving on my flight is enough to make me do carry-on.
I actually have the Standard Luggage bag. Since I mainly fly Air Asia, I’ve never been able to take it as a cabin bag. With only a 7kg allowance, that’s just over 5kg of stuff! Maybe okay for a weekend away but impossible for long term travel esp with a laptop.
Tbh, I can’t carry it with the shoulder strap. It cuts into my chest bone too much. The backpack straps are great. I had about 13 kg of luggage and found it difficult to deal with but I’ve cut down to 12kg and it is suddenly manageable!
Thank you for doing this give-away! I have been on the search for a good travel backpack.
Yes, you should definitely go for the Standard Luggage carry-on. It looks like it would be easy to organize.
If possible, definitely!
You get the best of three worlds and it looks more stylish than a traditional backpack. Based on your post, sounds like it’s definitely worth a try! I would love to use this on future Air Asia flights, since I fly AirAsia quite often. My current daypack is a bit too small to fit all the stuff but a traditional carry-on is inconvenient to carry around.
I’m planning a few weekend trips throughout Europe, and this bag would be ideal! Starting off in Berlin in June!
What an opporunity! I still travel with a giant suitcase, but i’m going to have a little trip from Chiang Mai to Laos and i don’t wanna to take all my belongins with me. But i realy need to take my computer and some warm and good looking clothes, so it think this it THE BEST Carry-On Backpack i can ever find! 😉
Essa mala de mão é perfeita! Segue o padrão de empresas low cost, vira mochila, espaço pra laptop!!! Ai minha gente! Precisooo!!! Kkkk
Darn its over. Maybe next time young lady!
Mike
