Know before you buy
At 20.5 inches long, this bag is slightly larger than standard under-seat dimensions for many airlines. It is best suited as an overhead carry-on or as a secondary piece paired with a larger suitcase.
The padded sleeve is designed to fit most standard laptops and tablets. While it offers reliable protection, it is best suited for devices up to 15 inches.
The Stack-It strap is a pass-through sleeve on the back of the duffel that slides over the handle of your rolling luggage. This allows you to secure the bag on top of your suitcase for hands-free navigation through the airport.
Yes, the shoe bag, 3-1-1 WetPak, and TecKit Pouch are designed as independent accessories. You can easily remove them to organize your items or use them separately outside of the bag.
The bag is constructed from 100% polyester, which provides a durable exterior that holds up well against light moisture and daily wear. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it should not be submerged or left in heavy rain.
The magnetic closures are designed to keep the handles neatly aligned and together for comfortable carrying. They provide a clean, streamlined look, though they are not intended to act as a primary security lock for the main compartment.
