Ultimate travel hack. My personal item backpack to avoid luggage fees in any airline

ebags Mother Lode Jr Travel Backpack

$105

This compact travel backpack is truly the best personal item bag to travel on any airline.

But don’t just take our word for it. Check out our 3,000-something reviews and take note of the 96% rating. We’re not trying to be cocky, we’re just happy we can deliver on creating the ideal carry-on travel backpack.

No matter the terrain (looking at you cobblestone), you’ll be mobile. Need to post up at a coffee shop and get some work done? Pull out your laptop from its padded sleeve and get to it. Freezing on the plane? Grab your sweater from the strategically placed front quick-grab pocket, you won’t even have to open your whole bag to get it.

The main packing compartment is roomy and the bag can fit our Light 7pc Packing Cubes perfectly. It’s also expandable and has external compression straps so even when it’s stuffed to the rim just buckle cinch to create a smaller more compressed bag.

Reviews

"I've used this bag twice so far and I have to say it exceeds my expectations. I used packing cubes in order to save space and with the one flight I've taken so far and using this as a carry-on, it hasn't been a problem taking it on board and putting it in the overhead bin. I'm flying again in a few days and am fully confident that this will be good enough for my upcoming holiday. The dimensions are good for most airlines, so using it as a carry-on is no problem at all. All-in-all, I'm satisfied with the product."

"I purchased this bag for my wife. About 4 years ago we went to Europe. I had the the Ebags Motherlode Weekender and my wife had a top load backpack. We did 4 weeks around Germany, Italy and Spain, using rail as our mode of transportation and staying in hostels. I loved my bag. We traveled lite. Neither of us was bothered by the weight of our gear, but what the big difference was.....was the convivence and setup of my motherlode. For our purposes we found it much superior to a top loader. Access, packability and ease on trains and planes. So this year we are planning on going to the UK and the only way I can get my wife to go, is to get her a bag like mine. So I purchased the JR.PS....I know young travelers like their backpacks. But we are 68 and 65 years old. These are the bags for us."
