Know before you buy
Yes, its 40-liter capacity and structured design generally meet the carry-on size requirements for most major airlines, making it an ideal choice for avoiding checked baggage.
The bag features a TPU laminate, polyurethane coating, and sealed seams, which provide excellent protection against rain and snow. While it is highly weather-resistant, it is not intended to be submerged in water.
The bag includes removable, adjustable shoulder straps that allow you to carry it comfortably over your shoulder or as a backpack, depending on your preference and load.
The white interior is a functional design choice that increases visibility, making it much easier to locate smaller items or gear tucked into the corners of the bag compared to a standard dark-lined duffle.
