BellroyLite Travel Pack 30L (carry-on backpack, travel backpack for international travelers, with laptop pocket, interior packing cells and tuck-away shoulder straps) - Ash

Took on a 5 day trip and it was a perfect companion and easily handled everything I personally needed. I have the 10L camera sling too. A perfect combo. I owned the Cotapaxi Alpa 42 and it's very similar style to the Belroy - but just TOO LARGE and cumbersome.

We accidentally received the wrong color. The seller responded very quickly, sending out the correct backpack color for a Christmas present and a label for me to send the other bag back. They were quick to respond and solve the problem. The bag is professional-looking and has great features. We bought it for our son after college graduation.

I’ve had this bag for about a month now and have used it on two 2-3 night trips, including a 3-night trip to Mexico City I took with no other bags. There is a lot of space overall and for the most part each compartment has dedicated space to expand into. However, there are a few things that are missing or not quite perfect. I didn’t think the lack of a water bottle holder would be that big of an issue to me, but it was such an easy layup that Bellroy missed in this case. I recently dropped a water bottle on the floor resulting in it cracking because I had the bottle in my coat pocket and not in a water bottle holder on the backpack. Another small issue is the zipper puckering/waves that appear on the top outside pocket, even when it is only ~75% full. The bottom outside pocket is also a little see-through if packed out fully.I’m generally a really big fan of Bellroy and the quality of the materials (especially the zippers) is evident on this bag as usual. I think it’ll find a role in my travel rotation, but if you think you’ll need a water bottle pocket you should probably go with a different bag.

This bag is excellent and holds way more than it appears. I got the 30L size and it is perfect for 3 to 4 days of clothes. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the backpack straps are a little stiff and are not as comfortable as the straps on some other backpacks that I have. I really like that the straps can be stowed away when not in use and the luggage pass-through feature.The bag looks great also. It is my new go to bag for short trips now.

At 30 liters, this bag has a lot of space and organization without looking to bulky. It is also extremely light, which is crazy for this size of bag. The material is very water resistant and strong while still being lightweight. The build quality on bellroy is always amazing in my opinion. Most travel packs at this size and quality cost well over $250-$300. Great value for a great bag.
