Details
- Smart Design: Our Convertible Carry-On bag features a huge side-access front compartment; 3 front pockets (2 with generous U-openings); toggle-tight mesh water bottle pocket; 2500 cubic-inch interior; internal and external compression straps to keep your load compact and stable; padded grab handles and breathable mesh lumbar panel for comfort over the long haul. The sleek, reverse-style zippers (better for keeping moisture out) feature heavy-duty pulls.
- Tough, Lean and Green: The outside fabric of our Convertible Carry-On is now made from 100% recycled high-density polyester — in great new colors!
- Carry-On-Friendly: Measuring 9" x 21" x 14" and weighing just 3 lbs, it fits within most airlines' carry-on guidelines.
- Expandable: Whenever you need more room, pull open the full-perimeter expando-zipper, and its capacity jumps to 3000 cubic inches (making your bag "fatter" than the carry-on limit).
- On Your Back: It easily converts from a smart-looking suitcase to a versatile backpack, with comfortably-curved, air mesh-lined shoulder straps, waistbelt (that tucks away when not in use) and back panel.
- As a Suitcase: When you want to use it as a suitcase (or check it as luggage in "expanded" mode), the straps and waistbelt safely tuck away in the back. Handy D-rings give you the choice of adding our optional Over-the-Shoulder Strap.
- Handy Extras: We include a pair of mesh bags for smaller items, and a clip-in security pouch (which you can also clip inside any day pack or shoulder bag we sell).
- Great New Colors: Choose from Black, Graphite, Camel, Red, Plum, and Blue Spruce. Imported.
- Packing Light and Right: This bag is one of the lightest full-size carry on bags available due to the fact that it contains no frame. For best results and extended carrying comfort, we recommend our Packing Cube Set as an essential packing aid. When used with the two internal and four external cinch-tight compression straps, packing cubes will help to maintain the structure of the bag and distribute the load much more evenly across the back.
- Be Aware: New fees for checked luggage (and fears of lost luggage) are causing many travelers to increase what they carry on board, overwhelming the overhead compartment capacity of some flights. As a result, airline personnel are sometimes rejecting carry-on bags that comply with published regulations. Always check with your airline to confirm carry-on restrictions, and be prepared to check your bag if asked.
- Your Choice: This bag does NOT have wheels. Our Rolling Backpack can be rolled or carried on your back. Our 21" Roll-Aboard rolls exclusively.
- Rave Reviews: "I've always been a fan of Steves' travel luggage, which is frill-free, built to take abuse, and actually looks like it was designed by a traveler.
— John Flinn, Travel Editor, San Francisco Chronicle - "You sure make a great travel bag! I got one about three years ago and it's been brutalized in Asia, Europe and Africa. None the worse for wear and tear, it was even carried by porters up Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro, tossed on the tops of buses in Africa and Cambodia, dropped in the mud, and dragged across railway platforms in Germany, etc. Good zippers. I mean really good, industrial grade zippers. If this ever breaks, which it won't, I'll buy another."
— Mike Cussen, customer from Paso Robles, CA - "I recently bought the Convertible Carry-On. I am so proud of my accomplishment to carry only a backpack to Italy. I found it to be very comfortable as I trekked and walked and ran from the Isle of Capri up to Lake Como on a 17 day trip. I must say I came to regard my backpack as a traveling companion of sorts. I wholeheartedly recommend the Convertible Carry-On for folks who want a less stressful way to travel."
— Charlotte Blume, customer from Athens, GA - "This the best luggage purchase I have ever made! I bought this bag two years ago for a ferry-hopping trip in the Caribbean. It was so inexpensive and lightweight that I figured if it survived one trip intact I would have gotten my money's worth. Well, in addition to the Caribbean, it has toured across Iceland, scootered around Bermuda, and flown (fitting neatly in the overhead bins) three other times. Even after all of this wear and tear, on my last flight home someone asked me if it was new. Thank you so much for this terrific product!"
