viral travel backpack amazon

I bought a TikTok-viral travel backpack for a recent trip. For less than $40, it's the perfect carry-on bag.

• Earlier this year, I kept seeing TikTok videos for a backpack that was said to be perfect for travel.
• I finally caved and bought the bag on Amazon for $34. 
• It has its limitations, but it does make a great carry-on for a shorter trip.

TikTok has a special way of feeding you videos about products you probably don't need, but that might come in handy someday.

That was the case earlier this summer when I continuously saw videos about a backpack that influencers claimed was a travel "must-have." Videos of the bag, often posted with the hashtag #ViralTravelBackpack , have raked in 137 million views as of Monday.

A video posted on May 26 solidified my decision to buy the bag. In the video, TikToker @bmekween said she "cannot go on a trip without this bag," and gave a tour of the backpack's features. The TikTok has 4.3 million views as of Monday.

@bmekween #stitch with @Priscilla I bought this as a xmas gift for myself and it’s the best purchase I’ve made in awhile. Full packing list at the top of my page #packingessentials #musthavetravelitems #personalbags #luggagepacking #baggagecheck ♬ original sound - Bmekween | Dr. N’Dea

In June, with a trip to Paris coming up later that month . And while it ended up being too small to bring on my trip to Europe, I've used it on several smaller trips since — and have found it really is a great carry-on bag for short trips. Here's why.

Several Amazon vendors sell a version of the bag, and most of them are less than $50.

I bought my bag — called the " carry on backpack " — from the brand VGCUB, but dozens of brands sell a version of the backpack on Amazon.

When I bought it in June, I paid $34.99, but the backpack goes on sale regularly. As of Monday, the cream-colored bag was on sale for $26.99, and there are plenty of colors to choose from.

The most important feature is the bag fits under an airplane seat or in the overhead compartment.

Coming in at about 12 inches wide and 17 inches long, the bag can fit under airplane seats without a problem.

Even if it were too big to fit snugly under the seat, it would easily fit into the overhead compartment, making it a solid carry-on bag for airplane trips.

Because I had lots of stuff to pack for my trip to Paris, I found the bag too small for an international trip.

The weather during my trip would oscillate between sunny and rainy, so I wanted to pack enough clothes for both circumstances.

Plus, I had a lot of different events going on — from a work dinner to wandering around Versailles for a day — so I needed appropriate shoes and clothes for each. When I packed a few different pairs of shoes, rain jackets, and work attire, the bag was too full to zip.

While I didn't end up using it for a longer trip, it's worked well for weekend excursions.

I used the bag for several road trips over the summer when I didn't have much to pack. 

The bag can fit a pair of shoes and two outfits without packing cubes , just enough for a weekend trip. Using packing cubes, you can squeeze in a few more outfits. 

One thing I don't love is how small the water bottle pocket is.

I like to travel with my 48-ounce Nalgene bottle , which unfortunately doesn't fit in the backpack's water bottle pouch.

Instead, I have to put the water bottle inside the backpack or travel with a smaller water bottle — my least favorite option, as I have to fill it up more often.

The bag has a host of handy pockets and compartments, including a specific place to put your shoes.

The bottom of the bag unzips to reveal a dedicated compartment to place your shoes in, though it's not separate from the rest of the backpack, so they'll still take up just as much space as they would if you were to put them directly in the main area.

The compartment is great if you're specifically worried about getting your clothes dirty with the shoes you've been traveling in. 

It also has an area that fits most 15-inch laptops and little pouches for small items and toiletries. 

It also has a port you can use to charge your phone if need be.

While I haven't used this feature yet, I do appreciate that it's there. You can charge your phone without holding the charger by putting a mobile charging block in the bag. 

Overall, the bag probably won't work for long trips, but it's great for a short getaway.

Unlike a regular backpack, this Amazon bag unzips fully — like a suitcase — making it easier to find and remove items without digging through the entire bag. 

With plenty of space for clothes and compartments for shoes and other items, the bag is the perfect carry-on for a weekend escape — but I wouldn't rely on it for long trips.

The Travel Backpack TikTok Is Obsessed With Is On Amazon

It's on sale with Prime shipping, too.

Maelstrom Travel Backpack

The backpack in question is a favorite on the app: One review video is currently at 1.6 million views and counting. The best part is just how spacious this bag is. There's a main area complete with adjustable straps for your clothes, two zippered internal pockets for toiletries, a shoe compartment, a computer sleeve that can fit a 17-inch laptop, a bottle sleeve, and a small external zippered pocket.

It comes in four colors and two sizes (a large 35-liter capacity and a medium 25-liter capacity), both of which are designed to slip under the seat in front of you. So technically , it qualifies as a "personal item." It also comes with a detachable crossbody bag for keeping things like your passport or phone charger within easy reach—a feature that TikTok users note is especially useful for getting through airport security.

"Nothing is stuffed because of how big this pack is. Size is perfect for one," writes one Amazon buyer who also loves the detachable bag. "The zipper is holding up super well with how many times I've been using it too so this bag is well made for it being on the cheaper end!"

The backpack is the ideal size for a long weekend getaway, a road trip, or a multi-city tour, where lugging around a suitcase on public transit would be a serious headache. Pick one up now while it's still under $50 and start planning your next travel adventure—we could all use a distraction from winter blues, right?

Meet the TikTok-viral Weekender Bag That’s Flying Off Amazon Shelves — and Is Now on Sale

Shoppers say it resembles a much more expensive brand.

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

The weekender bag was made for Friday-to-Sunday getaways — those trips too short to warrant a rolling suitcase but too long for a day bag to suffice. Every traveler needs a medium-sized tote to throw over their shoulder, carry onto the plane, slide under their seat, and squeeze into a luggage locker with ease. Few do it better than the Minkars Weekender Bag , the popular new tote that just hit Amazon shelves and is already taking off with travelers and TikTokers. 

So, if you haven’t seen this handy bag yet, let us introduce you. It’s not only compact and practical but also versatile and stylish — and shoppers are even comparing it to a similar overnight bag by the trendy, flight attendant-loved luggage brand Béis . Travel vlogger and packing pro Ashlan Pruitt , aka @neutrallyashlan on TikTok, has even deemed it a “travel favorite” they “won’t leave without.”

Minkars Weekender Bag

Since its spring 2023 debut, the Minkars Weekender Bag has quickly gained traction as an Amazon favorite, already earning a stunning 260 five stars. And according to Amazon, it’s selling like hot cakes: More than 1,000 people have purchased the accessory in the past month alone.

The weekender is sold in two sizes tailored to air travel: a 17-inch by 8-inch personal item size for $39 (thanks to a sale) and a 10-inch by 20-inch carry-on size for $59, roughly half the price of its Béis Weekender Bag doppelganger. TikToker Pruitt confirms the smaller version slides seamlessly underneath an airplane seat.

Both sizes feature pockets and compartments that make organization a breeze, even on the most chaotic travel days. A separate compartment on the bottom can accommodate multiple pairs of shoes and keep them accessible, in case you need to change footwear throughout the day. The rest of your belongings go into a wide, zip-close top and can be stored in a zip pocket or pouches sewed into the walls of the bag. The weekender has a padded laptop sleeve inside to keep your computer safe as you travel. 

Other compelling features include a small external pocket perfect for keeping your passport and cards within reach, a sleeve that slips over the handle of your rolling suitcase for easy luggage stacking, and both shoulder straps and removable crossbody straps for comfortable, adaptable carrying. The bag comes with a matching removable 9-inch by 4-inch toiletries case to keep personal care items separate. There’s even a USB charging port to allow you to charge your phone on the go. What more could you ask for in a bag?

One shopper called Minkars’ weekender bag a “10/10,” and another said the quality is “amazing.” “This bag is super sturdy and durable,” they wrote. Yet another couldn’t help but compare it to Béis: “I wanted to get the Béis bag but couldn’t bring myself to spend $99+. I found this one and let me tell you, it’s exactly the same. After I [saw] this link I went on TikTok to see the comparison and it’s literally better than the Béis one.” 

The personal item size is sold in basic black , beige , and a light pink while the larger carry-on size is available in beige and black. So, what are you waiting for? Grab the Minkars Weekender Bag for yourself so you can travel in style — and more organized than ever.

We Tried The TikTok Famous Travel Backpack And It Makes It Painless To Pack Light

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

I tend to be a bit skeptical of products that go viral on TikTok -- and if I'm being honest, that makes me even more desperate to try them out for myself. TikTok trends are becoming a significant force that drives consumers, with TikTok influencers becoming modern-day tastemakers by offering (mostly) honest reviews of various products. When something catches on, its popularity skyrockets. Some products fade quickly out of the limelight, while others, like the viral TikTok travel backpack, remain popular for months and even years.

The famous travel backpack is available from multiple sellers on Amazon in slightly different styles and variations that all share a few key characteristics, including spaciousness, affordability, and many pockets for all of your travel necessities. TikTok influencers claim the bag is the ultimate travel must-have and can fit enough for a long weekend getaway. Furthermore, the backpack may allow travelers to skirt carry-on bag fees, since it fits within the personal item size requirements.

As a frequent traveler who hates checking bags, I was excited to try this viral TikTok backpack and find out if it lives up to the hype. As it turns out, I'm pretty impressed, especially considering the price point. But I wondered if this large pack would make it past budget airlines' hidden fees for carry-on bags when fully packed. Considering how much I was able to fit inside, I feel that I could use it as my only piece of luggage for most trips.

The Internet's Most Famous Backpack

If you search "TikTok travel backpack" on Amazon, you'll see multiple results from different sellers offering their variation of the rectangular-shaped pack. I wasn't sure which brand created the "original" Tiktok backpack, so I purchased the bestseller. My backpack is from a brand called Coowoz , which has nearly 11,000 5-star ratings on Amazon. I chose the extra-large size, which cost $43.99 at the time of purchase and arrived the next day. The price of these bags fluctuates a little, depending on what color you choose.

The bag comes in a multitude of color options. I chose a lovely muted color called Lotus Pink. My first impression when I opened the bag is that it felt sturdy and well-made. I'm not a huge fan of the polyester fabric, but it does seem durable and easy to spot clean. The description claims the bag is waterproof, but I would argue that it is more water-resistant. When I sprayed it with water, it didn't absorb immediately into the fabric, but the zippers aren't waterproof. I wouldn't take it whitewater rafting, but I'd trust it to keep my laptop dry during a light rain.

I was very impressed with the size, shape, spaciousness, and storage compartments. The main compartment opens like a carry-on suitcase and can fit nearly as much, and the bottom opens into a separate compartment to store a pair of shoes. I counted nine additional storage pockets for storage and organization. It's an ideal choice when you're  packing light. 

Packing The Bag

If you're considering using this bag as a personal item, you'll be happy that many TikTok reviewers reported they could take it fully packed on their flight without paying for it as a carry-on. In my experience, Frontier Airlines has a strict carry-on bag policy. When empty, this bag meets Frontier's personal item dimension requirements, which require that your bag is 14" tall, 18" wide, and 8" long. The extra-large bag I ordered measures 14.17" tall, 17.72" wide, and 7.87" long. I was shocked by how much I could fit inside. I could easily use this bag to pack for a long weekend getaway or make it work for a week-long trip, especially  when you use efficient packing cubes.   

Inside the main compartment, I packed five dresses, yoga pants, a tank, a long-sleeve shirt, a fleece pullover, a sleep shirt, a bralette, five pairs of underwear, and my favorite wide-leg blue jeans. Leather tennis shoes fit comfortably in the shoe compartment. The front compartment is waterproof, perfect for packing toiletries and cosmetics. In the back of the bag, I used the spacious laptop sleeve to store my Macbook, power cords, journal, and a novel. The secret compartment in the back of the bag stowed my passport and emergency credit card, while the front pockets provided an excellent place for my headphones, cell phone, and some snacks. A sleeve allows it to attach to a rolling carry-on. If you're looking for a budget-friendly backpack for your next vacation, the viral TikTok bag is worth trying.

33 TikTok Travel Products So Good, You'll Never Leave Them Out Of Your Luggage

Neck pillows, cosmetic bags, and more TikTok-approved travel products you'll want to bring in a backpack, carry-on, or suitcase from now on.

BuzzFeed Staff

1. A water-resistant cosmetic bag  for anyone who needs to bring a bunch of beauty products. It'll help keep everything organized on trips, thanks to four roomy compartments and a hook that you can hang behind a door *or* on a closet rod. The best part? You can quickly find whatever you need and you won't have to repack it all when it's time to leave.

Promising reviews: " I saw this on TikTok and purchased it for my trip! Got back home and use it in my own bathroom. I love it that much! Best Amazon purchase I’ve ever made!" — Amazon Customer

"I bought this bag specifically for when I travelled across the country with my two small children. One of whom is a medically complex child. I put ALL of my toiletries, ALL their toiletries, and ALL of my son's medications in this bag. Everything fit perfectly, and nothing was broken. The hanger is durable and carried lots of weight when it hanged on the back of the bathroom door. I bought the largest size, and it was 100% worth what I paid for. If you are traveling by yourself, I would recommend the smaller size. But if you are packing for others or just pack heavy, definitely buy the larger size. I absolutely loved it! And it was very compact in my suitcase. Very sturdy as I carried it. I HIGHLY recommend buying." — Hannah Funderburk

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 

2. A luggage-mounted cup caddy  that'll make it so easy to travel through a terminal with drinks and snacks. Two slots fit water bottles, paper cups, and  wrapped up food, so you can wheel your luggage and check texts without spilling anything. 

Check it out on TikTok here .

Promising review : "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip

Get it from Amazon for $12.74+  (available in 21 colors and patterns). 

3. A Trtl neck pillow  because you can finally rest in a plane seat without feeling uncomfortable. This cozy cocoon is adjustable, gently wraps around your neck, and prevents your head from bobbing side-to-side. Plus, it's space-saving, lightweight, and attaches to any luggage handle.

Check it out on TikTok here . 

BuzzFeed editor  Ciera Velarde  owns this comfy pillow and said:  "I've used this for the past few years and swear by it! Before this, I always found traditional neck pillows uncomfortable and would end up ditching them halfway through the flight and getting frustrated. The Trtl pillow is adjustable — you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and  if you find it's too loose, just make it a bit tighter! I've truly never slept better on a plane than with this pillow. " 

Promising review:  "Used it for a 14-hour flight to Japan last week, and it helped tremendously. This was the first time I was able to sleep on the plane so this helped tremendously. Definitely a must have for travel. It is very light so I was able to easily pack it in my under-the-seat wheeled trolley. I want to emphasize how much the light warmth of the fleece (and I don't like being hot) was just right to help me nod off to sleep. Since this is primarily for sitting upright in the seat or someone in the middle or the aisle seat, this was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time for a 12-hour flight." — Ambience

Get it from Amazon for  $39.99  (available in three colors).

4. And a pair of  Mack's Earplugs  that'll help you say, "buh-bye noise" if you're trying to catch up on some sleep. These little babies comfortably contour to the shape of your ear and help block out sounds, plus they stay in place. Even if the plane is taking off and your seat buddy is talking a little too loud, you'll still drift off to dreamland. 

Check them out on TikTok here .

BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord swears by these and raves: "The moldable silicone of  Mack's Earplugs  contours easily to the shape of your ear to block out noise much more effectively than other foam or plastic varieties, and the noise reduction is so good that if I pair them with a  white noise machine  (or just like a white noise loop on Spotify) I genuinely don't hear noises from outside my room. Not only that, but once they're in place, they stay locked there until you decide to pull them out.

Granted, I can still hear my alarm and like, if the fire alarm went off or something, I'd definitely wake right up. But noises that are distant and loud are pretty easily canceled out by these.

I've also *loved* these for traveling — if you put these babies in on a plane not only does it help reduce some of the YIKES factor when the plane takes off (it's loud!!), but it cancels out the murmuring noises of passengers on the flight and makes it easier to get some shuteye. " Read her full Mack's Earplugs Review for more deets!

Get six pairs from Amazon for $3.96 .

5. A  hands-free (rotating!) phone mount  to turn your phone into a mini TV while you're traveling. It can mount on multiple surfaces, including tray tables, the arms of terminal seats, and luggage handles. Now you can stream Netflix or view videos whenever and wherever you want.

See it in action on Tiktok here . 

Promising review : "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration . I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table . It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer . At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards, and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid, and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" — Earendil

Get it from Amazon for $12.97  (available in two colors).

6. And an  AirFly Pro wireless transmitter  so you can watch movies and TV shows with your AirPods on flights. Plug it into the seat TV screen, connect your earbuds, and you'll be good to go. No more packing flimsy headphones or having to pay extra for a pair while you're on board. 

It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual. Traveling with a family member or friend? They can also sync their earbuds to this gadget!

See one TikTok user using it with their AirPod Pros  here . 

Promising review: "Ever since I purchased my wireless Bose earbuds, I always hated having to use another set when I was on an airplane with the seat-back entertainment system. I tried many different models to connect the system to my Bluetooth headsets until I came across this one, and it is amazing! It seamlessly connects to my headset, very clear and reliable audio, and it takes the stress away from having to carry multiple headsets! Thank you!!!" — Ryan Malloy

Get it from Amazon for $46.74+  (available in three styles).

7. A  Tide To-Go stain removing pen  that'll come to the rescue if you accidentally spill ketchup on your shoe or wine on a shirt. This pen is basically the definition of magic, because it'll help make stubborn stains *poof* disappear. Plus, it fits right in a jacket pocket or bag thanks to its small size!

See it in action on TikTok here .

Promising review: "These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide To-Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again . You've got yourself a big fan, Tide." — NAD

Get a 3-pack from Amazon for $7.74 .

8. An international power converter  because with it, you can juice up your devices and plug them in without outlet issues. This handy essential, which works in 150+ countries, comes with four different sockets, a 5-foot detachable power cable, and voltage converters.

See it in action on TikTok here . 

Promising review:  "Prior to this purchase, we've killed an appliance or two in overseas travel. We bought the Sokoo Power Converter for a trip to the Philippines. It worked like a champ! We charged our iPhones and other high-end devices with peace of mind. My wife used her flat iron with this just fine. I like that it has plug adapters for outlets around the world, so I know wherever we go we can use this. I recommend this to anyone doing international travel." — David Aiken

Get it from Amazon for $43.99 . 

9. A genius backpack  that's not your typical carryall, because it comes with cool features like a main compartment that fully unzips, a laptop sleeve, zippered pouches that'll easily fit toiletries, a roomy main compartment for four to five outfits, compression straps, and a trolley passthrough (a thick strap that loops around your suitcase handle) to make luggage transport a breeze. 

Béis is a woman-owned travel accessories brand founded by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell. You'll find carry-on rollers, weekender bags, packing cubes, and more practical goods for your next trip!

BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart owns this backpack and said: " I just bought this bag for a five-day cross-country road trip and it came in so clutch. First, I flew with it and was able to stow it under my seat so not only did I not have to check a bag, but I didn't even have to deal with overhead storage. Then, it traveled through 10+ states and various hotels with me. My absolute favorite parts of the bag are the compression straps and the fact that it fully unzips. This makes it *SO* easy to pack, unpack, and take through airport security. I was able to fit ~four pairs of leggings, four T-shirts, two sets of pajamas, two pairs of shorts, two bathing suits, a sweatshirt, a week's worth of undergarments, travel toiletries, an iPad, my wallet, and more odds and ends."

Get it from Béis  or Nordstrom for $78 (also available in black). 

10. Or a nylon  anti-theft backpack  with a hidden storage compartment and versatile design. It has plenty of room for tech devices and snacks, and keeps them concealed thanks to zipper access from the back. You can also wear it two ways: as a backpack *or* shoulder bag, thanks to comfy straps.

Promising review: " A must-have for traveling! This backpack is lightweight, has multiple pockets on the inside and outside for small items, and was so awesome for an eight-day vacation to Hawaii! Felt safe with my items in it and it was a great small personal item on the plane. Highly recommend!" — Marianne :]

Get it from Amazon for $34.99  (available in two sizes and 13 colors).

11. A luggage scale  because it can easily weigh your suitcase (up to 110 pounds) to make sure it doesn't go over the limit. This handy gadget fits in a bag or pocket, so you can pull it out and check your luggage on the spot. You'll be relieved you didn't have to pay an overweight baggage fee at the airport.

Promising review:  "This was a great buy! It’s saved me and my family time and money when we travel! I’ve even given it to friends to borrow so they don’t have to worry about the weight of their luggage when they get to the airport. It can be tricky to be accurate if you don’t hold it properly and stay still but even so, it’s possibly a pound or a few ounces off if you can’t hold it upright for too long. Definitely recommend this tool especially for the low price!" — Annette M.

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).

12. A lightweight stroller  designed to make traveling with tiny humans a breeze: It easily folds up into a portable handbag-shaped package and fits in plane overhead bins, meaning you can just carry it on and go. Other features include an adjustable seat for comfort, a UPF50+ sun canopy, and a roomy shopping basket area to hold belongings. 

This stroller only weighs 9.5 pounds and is designed for kids who are 6 months+ and weigh up to 55 pounds.

Promising review: "The best stroller for traveling! We bought this on a whim for our last-minute trip to Houston. Our toddler is 2-years-old, and what a breeze this was to stroll through the airport and fold up so it can stow away under our seats on the plane . It is so compact, so easy, and my husband enjoys entertaining everyone and showing them how small it gets. If you have a little jet setter and fly frequently with a little one, I highly recommend!!" — Kimmie Paulo

Get it from Amazon for $279.95+  (available in two colors and four styles).

13. A set of  scrunchies  with a discreet zipper that'll safely stash keys, lip balm, money, and other small essentials. You'll probably feel so much better knowing that they won't slip out of a pocket and get lost while you're traveling from the terminal, to your flight, and to the hotel.

Promising reviews: " I bought this because of someone on TikTok who had purchased this. Extremely convenient and cute! They’re very soft, and I’ve been using mine to hold cash and lip balm. I wish there were more colors!" — Michaela

"I bought these since I was going on a long vacation by myself. I rolled my money and was able to fit it inside the scrunchie. It’s soft, very stretchy and fits my wrist! I didn’t have any issues with the zipper. I wore it on my wrist all the time and put money/lip balm inside it. It worked great during my vacation. This would be perfect to stash some things inside!" — Jessica Sandoval

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two color combinations).

14. A three-piece luggage set  because you'll be prepared to pack for any type of trip, including weekend adventures *or* week-long vacations. You'll get a 28-inch large suitcase, a 24-inch medium suitcase, and a carry-on 20-inch suitcase for your travel needs. Each piece of luggage has a secure TSA lock and 360-degree wheels that'll make moving through the airport so darn easy.

Promising review: "My family travels internationally which means lots of airplane transfers, rail, ferry loading and unloading. Each member has their own set. Only one cosmetic scuff has appeared. About to order another set for my mother as we are taking her to London, Scotland and Ireland for the holidays. We rarely use the middle size. The small size we carry on and the largest size we check. Very pleased with maneuvering and durability of wheels on various rough surfaces. The retractable handle makes for easy storage on ferries and railway. We’ve had zero issues with locking mechanism. We are a family of four with kids age 8 and 12." — ChiefLaughALot

Get it from Amazon for $189.99 (available in 17 colors).

15. And a  stylish and durable travel belt  that'll securely attach a large tote to your suitcase handle and keep it in place while you move through the airport. It'll be so nice to not have to stop, readjust your bags, and worry about anything falling out if you're already pressed for time.

Cincha Travel is a small business based in Oakland, California that designs adjustable vegan leather travel belts. The brand, which is run by a BIPOC couple, donates 100 airline miles for each purchased travel belt to help reunite migrant families.

Promising review: "Such a simple yet brilliant solution for the ever falling bag when trying to juggle all your luggage. It definitely made traveling less stressful." — Samantha

Get it from Cincha for $40  (available in nine colors).

16. A portable door lock for additional security if you're traveling alone. This tool stays in place and works with multiple doors, whether you're staying at an Airbnb or a hotel room. It's also easy to install and remove (no nails required).

To install, put the metal part into the hole on the door jam, close the door, and place the handle into the lock. That's it!

See it in action on TikTok  here . 

Promising review: " I brought this because I saw it on TikTok! I trust this more than the lock on my door (that my super has access to). I would recommend you buy this for traveling solo also and even for your bedroom door. I use this with a security bar also." — Amazon Customer

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.02 .

17. And a  doorstop alarm  that'll likely spook out anyone who tries to wiggle the handle open. Solo travelers swear by it for hotel stays and say it's loud (up to 120db). Set the alarm level (low, high, and medium sounds are available), place it in the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor, and that's it.

Promising review:  "Loud little dude! Good for home and travel for hotel room doors. Sensitivity control and on/off switch. Be sure to measure from floor to bottom of door to make sure it will engage the alarm. After demonstrating it, my sister-in-law, niece, and mom wanted them. A little peace of mind for very little money." — Jim Walker

Get a two pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors and multiple packs).

18. A  set of packing cubes to help you organize everything you packed in your suitcase. Pants, shirts, dresses...whatever you're wearing, these compact containers will hold them all without taking up a ton of space. 

This set comes with an extra large cube, large cube, medium cube, small cube, roomy shoe bag, and a laundry bag for dirty clothes!

Promising review: "I found out about the packing cubes on TikTok from a woman that travels all over and she mentioned these travel cubes and knew I had to get them. I travel and usually stay in one spot for more than a month so packing gets tricky. I can now pack more neatly and have more room for all the clothes I travel with. " — Magen Vaughn

Get a 6-piece set from Amazon for $25.99 (available in 12 colors).

19. A portable charger  you'll probably sing praises for, because it doesn't require any cords. When your phone battery is running low, plug it into the dock and it'll instantly charge it up. The dock also powers up while it charges your phone, so both will be ready whenever you need them on a flight or vacation stay.

Note: This small gadget can charge an iPhone 8 1.5 times and an iPhone X one full time on a single charge.

Promising review:  "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation, and knowing me I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want to carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty color, and I get one full charge of battery for my phone. Get it you will not be disappointed!" — Meghan Doble

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors).

20. A 16-piece travel toiletries set  with all the bottles you'll need for hair, makeup, and skincare products. Instead of buying disposable travel-sized containers, you can fill these up with your go-to beauty goods. Each one is also TSA-friendly, so you won't have to second guess liquid amounts.

You'll get four bottles, two jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers (to help transfer creams), one funnel (to help transfer liquids), one cleaning brush, a page of labels, and a bag that fits all the containers.  

Promising review: "I’ve purchased a lot of different travel sets for my toiletries over the years. Inevitably, they are hard to fill and tend to leak. This set was magic! The wide mouth made it easy to fill from a larger bottle, and the little scoops made transferring creams to the jar containers very easy and with much less mess. The only con (hardly worth mentioning) is that once you squeeze the bottle, it takes a few minutes to expand with air again, so the sides are a bit sunken. I solved that by unscrewing the top just a bit for a quick release of the vacuum pressure. I had no leaks, and plenty of containers for every toiletry." — MDC

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 

21. And  leakproof travel capsules for anyone who needs to bring lil' essentials on their next trip. These small, TSA-compliant vessels securely hold face creams, dainty jewelry, and vitamins and they have a cool, colorful design. They're also magnetic, so they'll stay together in a cosmetics bag or suitcase compartment.

Cadence is a woman-owned small business specializing in personal care travel solutions. Each mini capsule is created from recycled ocean-bound plastic and is refillable and reusable!

BuzzFeed writer Jasmin Sandal uses these travel capsules and said: "I love my little containers that allow me to downsize but still carry my necessities while I'm traveling. They're not only cute to look at but they're pretty practical. I have used mine to store my vitamins, earrings, face cream and have not run into any issues. They have tight, screw-on tops so you know everything is secure *and* you can customize their labels so you know exactly what's in what. Oh, and the fact that they're magnetic? Genius. This way, they stay tightly together in your case or can be conveniently stored in a makeup bag." 

Promising review: "This is my go to for all my travel, gym, camping trips. I can keep enough for four to five days of skincare. The best set I've had for carry-on toiletries." — Cadence Customer

Get a set of six from Cadence for $74  (originally $84; available in individual capsules, bundles of three or six, and seven colors).

22. An inflatable wedge pillow so you can rest comfortably while you're sitting in a plane seat. You can loop your arms through the bottom and place your head on the top at the same time. 'Tis time to catch up on some sleep, even if you're on a flight to your destination.

Can't sleep while traveling? No worries, because this gem also doubles up as a back rest *and* seat cushion for optimal comfort.

Promising reviews:  "Just received this and so far so good! Inflates within mere seconds & the same to deflate. Seems really supportive & comfortable. I was influenced by a TikTok review so I’m assuming it’ll be a gem on flights! " — Katelyn

"Used this on four international flights last month, and it made all the difference in the world. It's compact, quick and easy to inflate/deflate, very versatile in how you can position it, and it doesn't rely on the tray table. I can very comfortably lean forward in my seat and sleep almost like I can in a bed. " — Still Chilly in Colorado

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 .

23. A jewelry organizer  with plenty of space for bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and rings. Never again will you pack up baubles, travel to your destination, and find them too tangled to wear on your vacay. Instead, each piece of jewelry will be neatly stashed and readily accessible when you want to wear it. 

Promising review:  " I saw this recommended on TikTok and bought it on a whim. I never knew a jewelry organizer would be so useful! I absolutely love this organizer and think everyone should have one!!" — Savana Bishop

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors and patterns).

24. An acupressure anti-nausea wristband for bouts of morning or motion sickness that inconveniently pop up on vacation. 😒 It exerts a little pressure on the P6 acupressure point, which is said to help alleviate nausea and vomiting. Slip one on your wrist whenever you're feeling a bit queasy.

Reviewers swear by these nonmedicated bands for nausea relief: they've used them while traveling on airplanes, boats, and cars and for morning sickness during pregnancies.

Promising review:  "I bought these for an upcoming cruise, but thought I would try them out when flying (as I tend to get motion sickness even after taking Dramamine). I was very surprised that I had no motion sickness after wearing these on two different work trips. I also took these on a cruise and only had to use them once. Once I felt the motion sickness coming on, I put on the bands and the sickness was gone in about 15 minutes. They came in a nice plastic case and are reusable." — Jessica

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.59+ (also available in a two-pack).

25. A portable clothes steamer  so you can keep all your vacay clothes wrinkle-free on the go. If your fave blazers, tops, pants, and dresses always get wrinkled in a suitcase, this small gadget will be so helpful. Fill it up with water, plug it in, and you'll get 15 minutes of continuous steaming for each piece of clothing.

Promising review:  "Fantastic little device! This is going to work great for travel purposes! It’s small and compact, which makes it easy to pack away in travel bags. It’s convenient when you don’t have the option to use an iron and ironing board, because you can smooth out wrinkles while the shirt hangs up. It was very easy to setup, easy to use, and worked like a charm." — Richard

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 .

26. A travel shoe bag  to help organize sneakers, sandals, and flats for luggage and separate them from other belongings. If you're concerned about footwear and clean clothes getting mixed up, definitely consider one of these packing essentials — you won't regret it for carry-ons and suitcases!

This travel shoe bag can hold up to three pairs of shoes at a time and a few more depending on your shoe size. 

Promising review:  "Great for traveling! I’m visiting my sister end of March and I always over pack. I honestly probably only need two pairs of shoes but I’m taking extra for different outfits. I was able to fit my Minnie Mouse Vans in the larger compartment, and Tory Burch sandals and my Birkenstock dupes in this bag. I like that it all fits in one bag versus having three bags to keep track of. Also the carrying handle makes it easier to carry all pairs together. The back also has a small pocket to store a couple of no-show socks(I have one pair in the pocket)." — Jackie

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in nine colors).

27. An  RFID-blocking travel wallet  that'll hold your passport, IDs, credit cards, cash, and boarding tickets in a safe place. You won't have to worry about holding up the line at security because everything you need will be organized and ready to take out.

The wallet comes with a boarding pass compartment, a passport compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, a ticket slot, a slim pocket, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, a key holder, and a place to put your pen.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen, which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" — Anthony Luu

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 39 colors).

28. A first aid clutch kit  so stylish *and* practical for traveling: You'll be prepared with six antiseptic cleansing wipes, six sting relief pads, six alcohol pads, ten safety pins, 18 cotton swabs, 10 fabric bandages, five knuckle bandages, five finger bandages, two butterfly bandages, five gauze pads, and one gauze tape if a minor cut, scrape, or sting happens on the road.

Promising review:  "I carry this in my purse 24/7! I get cuts and scrapes all the time. It’s the perfect size and the design is super cute, I love the little quote on the inside cover. It has absolutely everything I need, I’ve tried a couple of other 'emergency' packs/pouches and they just always had something missing. This one is just perfect." — Alexis Trombley

Get it from Amazon for $26 .

29. A sunglasses organizer  with five slots that'll hold your frames and keep them safely packed away. You'll have accessory options for outfits and won't need to worry about your sunnies getting accidentally crushed in a backpack, carry-on, or bulky piece of luggage.

Promising review:  "This organizer is even better quality than expected. It's really sturdy and solid. Great craftsmanship. It's super cool looking. Definitely looks more expensive than what you pay. The material where the glasses are held is extremely soft like suede, so this should prevent scratches and protect them while transporting. I really like that it has a way of keeping the glasses in place. I noticed other similar items don't have this feature, which is why I chose this above the others." — Namiko Minakata

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes and colors).

30. A  magnetic luggage tag  so you can easily carry a hat while you're traveling through an airport or your destination. It's designed to be clipped to a carry-on handle or tote bag and keeps your hat in place, thanks to a secure magnet. Skip throwing your hat in a suitcase and have it right by your side if you'd like some shade from the sun. 

Lindsay Albanese is a California-based woman-owned small business that designs stylish and practical accessories for traveling. 

Promising review: "Love! Love! Love it! It has a very sturdy grip, and fashionable! I have had skin cancer numerous times, including melanoma. This is a must-have to keep me safe and fashionable — vacation or otherwise. I have thrown it in the overhead on a plane or shuffled through crowded venues, prior to COVID-19, and never lost my hat. This is a great gift, first to myself, and now to others! Thank you for keeping me safe and on point at an affordable price!" — Emily K.

Get it from Lindsay Albanese for $59 .

31. A  portable dog water bottle  that's leakproof and comes with a mini dish, so your pup can stay hydrated on trips. Unlike other containers, this one has a water key that can be pressed down to suck the water back in. Your furry friend can drink water without spilling it everywhere, sparing you from cleaning up a mess.

Promising review : " I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out of it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now, I want to be sure she is well hydrated . Before I leave the house I fill the holder with ice and water, and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around." — Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes). 

32. An Away carry-on so you can pack multiple outfits without having to drop $$$ on a checked bag. Another cool feature of this luggage? It comes with an ejectable (and TSA-approved!) battery that can power up your tech gadgets anywhere, anytime. 

BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde owns this space-saving carry-on. Here's her rave review: "I have had my Away carry-on suitcase for about a year now and absolutely love it! I've been able to fit everything I need for a weeklong trip into this with room to spare. It has two main compartments: one side with an interior compression system so you can pack all your soft clothes, and then a zippered side for all of your loose items. It also comes with a laundry bag for you to store all your dirty clothes as you travel. I like how durable it is — I've definitely knocked it against the wall or a bench a few times and I haven't gotten a scratch or a dent on it. And even if I do end up damaging it, Away has a  limited lifetime warranty  on their suitcases that covers any functional damage to the shell, wheels, handles, zippers, or anything else that impairs your use of the luggage. This is definitely a splurge-worthy purchase I feel like I got my money's worth out of (and then some!)." 

Get it from Away for $275+ (available in nine colors and with or without a USB charger).

33. And an  Alleyoop portable razor  to toss in your cosmetics bag for quick touch-up shaves. It comes with two triple-blade razors, a moisturizing bar, and a water spray bottle, so you'll be prepared if you have to shave at any point on your trip. It's also TSA-approved and has a compact design for easy packing. 

Promising review: " I found out about this razor on TikTok , and I’m officially obsessed! I’ve been using it for the last week, so here’s my honest opinion. I t’s perfect for missed spots or touch-ups, your gym bag, vacations , and I can see this being great for camping trips. The razor is not meant for full shaves or to replace your regular shower shaving routine, it’s very obviously for when you just need a quick touch-up here or there.

I love that it has everything you need for a close shave — the refillable water spray bottle, a shea butter moisturizing bar that doubles as a pre-shave lotion and an after-shave moisturizer, and two 3-blade razors. The product is super compact for everything that it holds.  If you’re considering buying this to replace your regular shower razor — don’t. But if you’re looking for a smart, convenient solution for a quick shave or touch-up, or something more convenient to travel with, then this is your new go-to travel razor!! I think everyone should have one of these in their car, purse, gym bag, travel bag, etc. Honestly can’t go wrong with it, it’s a 10/10 for me!!" — Helen Mantilla

Get it from Amazon for $14  (available in two colors).

18 Best Travel Backpacks, According to Frequent Flyers

By Gabrielle Porcaro

As someone who frequently travels, I've slung duffels, totes , and travel purses on my arm, but nothing compares to using the best travel backpacks. Depending on the length of your trip, a suitcase can either be too bulky or not big enough, so you'll need the vital second bag to make sure all your clothes, tech, and gear securely arrive at your destination. Plus, traveling with a backpack can be more supportive for your back, freeing up your arms and hands to pull out directions on your phone or to hold an iced coffee. Backpacks can also be surprisingly roomy, so everything you need (or want) on your trip fits as comfortably as possible. The good news is there are a wide range of excellent options to suit any and all of your needs. Below, we found the most travel-friendly options and tapped Glamour editors and some of our frequent-flier friends to share the best travel backpacks.

What to look for in a travel backpack

When shopping for luggage items like a travel backpack, the comfort and capacity of the bag is key. You want it to feel easy on the body, which means wide straps or a hip belt to distribute weight, which comes in handy if you're running to catch a plane or carrying it through a crowded subway. Bonus points if the straps are they adjustable and padded. Consider the material: Is it lightweight, soft, and made of durable material like water-resistant fabric? As for size, think about the use of the backpack. There are weekender bags and carry-on size options you can use for long weekends or smartly packed weeklong vacations and styles for short day trips, hikes, or shopping excursions.

Best Overall : Cotopaxi Allpa 42L Travel Pack

Here's a simple, sleek backpack with plenty of built-in organization. “My twin sister and I have traveled the world together, and this bag came in particularly handy on our trip to South America when we both needed more room besides our carry-on luggage. What I loved about this piece is it's essentially a suitcase with straps. The wrap zipper fully opens up, allowing you to see and organize your goods into the compartments. Crafted in repurposed nylon, the exterior is one of a kind, and the colors made it easier to spot one another through the crowds,” says Glamour contributor Gabrielle Porcaro .

Capacity: 42 L / Waterproof : Water-resistant

Whether you're a college commuter or in the office most days, this is an excellent option for everyday travel or work trips. It's a go-to for Condé Nast associate director of box business operations Haley Welch . “The separate laptop compartment makes organizing seamless, as does the front and upper zipper compartments, which is great for a Kindle,” she says. She likes that the chic and minimal look effortlessly mixes with every outfit, from comfy travel joggers and hoodies to a work-appropriate suit or dress.

Most Stylish : Best Tumi Voyageur Just In Case Packable Nylon Travel Backpack

For anyone looking for a dressier option for their everyday commute or regular work trips, Tumi has a gorgeous style.

A two-way zipper makes it easier to grab whatever you need from the inside with a smaller front pocket as well. There’s also a very convenient add-to-a-bag sleeve to secure this nicely over your suitcase handle, making it one to use on daily and international excursions. It's so stylish it can double as a cute work bag for office days.

Capacity: 15"H x 12"W x 4 1/2"D. (Interior capacity: large) / Waterproof : Water-resistant

• Cons: Doesn’t fit a ton

Best for Organization : Snoffic Travel Backpack

If remaining organized is of the utmost importance while traveling or in everyday life, look no further than this Snoffic backpack.

Plus, it comes in a wide range of pretty shades.

Capacity : 40 L / Waterproof : Water-resistant

• Pros : Nicely priced; roomy; includes two toiletry bags
• Cons : Boxy shape

Best for Pockets : Athleta Excursion Backpack

This pick, courtesy of Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs , is one that can hold every little trinket or gadget you own. “I thought this backpack was going to my go-to for hiking, but it’s actually my go-to for pretty much everything. I love how sleek it is, and yet, despite its slim appearance, it manages to fit my 15-inch laptop, my secondary screen, charger, headphones, e-reader, and mouse. It has handy organizational features, like an inner key ring, zippered outer pockets for me to stash my lip gloss and phone, and not one but two mesh pockets that fit my water bottle and an umbrella. Its handles are also made of a breathable fabric—so useful when I’ve worked up a sweat while out and about.”

• Pros :Lightweight; ripstop material resists snags and tears; mesh back panel for added support
• Cons: Larger on top shape

Best Minimalist Design : Dagne Dover Dakota Medium Neoprene Backpack

“On my last flight I saw not one, not two, but multiple travelers with this style hanging from their backs. As someone who regularly takes Dagne Dover bags on trips, I understand the popularity. The neoprene material is strong, soft, and stretchy, which causes the bag to flex to your body and whatever you put inside. It's forgiving, allowing you to fit in and possibly overstuff everything you need for a trip. It also washes well, ensuring it will always have that chic appearance even after some wear and tear,” says Porcaro. Dagne Dover also makes excellent diaper backpacks like this parent-approved Indi Diaper Bag .

Capacity: 16 L / Waterproof : No

• Pros: Packs a lot; machine washable
• Cons: Neoprene is a bit heavier than other material; material creases easily

Best for Airplane Travel : Augustnoa Classic Noa

“So many features drew me to this bag: the eco-friendly (plus water-friendly) material, smart design, and luggage sleeve—a must for any travel carry-on piece. There are ten pockets and compartments to organize essentials, something I took full advantage of when using. As an active person trying to hydrate more, I also appreciated the side pockets that securely held my water bottle (I bent over, and it didn't budge). It also includes a removable drawstring bag, something I always forget to pack for morning workouts and overnight travels,” says Porcaro.

Capacity: 21 L / Waterproof : Water-resistant

• Pros: Pockets on straps; laptop and tablet sleeve; two water bottle holders
• Cons: Pockets in the back and on straps are small

Best Roll Top : Roark Passenger 27L 2.0 Bag

Expandable storage is always a plus with any travel bag. This backpack, from super cool brand Roark, has an adjustable top to allow more room. The roll-top also has a magnetic entry, allowing for easy and secure access on the move. Interior and exterior pockets, including one for your tablet or laptop, sunglasses, and a hidden pocket for your passport, are specific details that make this a unique backpack. Ergonomic air mesh padded straps, a quilted back, and chest straps prevent this from adding any discomfort to your travels. The appearance calls for adventure, but it equally works in cities.

Capacity: 27 L / Waterproof : 100% Nylon

• Pros: Streamlined look; quilted back; magnetic closure top
• Cons: Could use more internal pockets

Best Large Travel Bag : Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 55L

The beauty of this bag is it says it right in the title—it's a black hole. With a 55-liter capacity, there's no doubt it will hold everything you need for a long weekend or even a long weekend trip. Ultra-comfortable to carry, it's perfect for hiking excursions, camping trips, or multi-city European backpacking adventures. Durably made with 100% recycled fabric, this fits in the overhead bin; if you want to check it, you can trust it will return to you just as you left it.

Capacity: 55 L / Waterproof : Water Repellent

• Pros: Large, carry-on size, top and side handles; removable shoulder straps
• Cons: Rugged design

Best for Laptop : Herschel Kaslo Dayback Tech Backpack

If you're looking for a laptop backpack , this is a top choice. Hershel backpacks are a go-to for marriage and family therapist and mom of two boys, Whitney Steller. “I have had this for almost six years, and the quality is amazing. No rips or anything and the straps are still comfortable. “The classic grade school look was also a draw and the fact that it fits perfectly under a plane seat. This style, in particular, is eco-friendly, made from post-consumer water bottles, and has a padded compartment to fit up a 15-inch laptop.

Capacity: 20 L / Waterproof : No

• Pros: Optional strum strap to help disturbed weight; padded compartment for laptop
• Cons: No luggage sleeve

Best Y-Pack : Topo Designs Y-Pack Backpack

This is an awesome option for anyone who ends up leaving a trip with more than they brought. “The adjustable Y-shaped strap can be tight and secure or loosened to allow for more room, which is the reason why this is a piece of heavy rotation for me. It always shocks me how much I can fit/shove into the main compartment yet still slide my laptop out of the back sleeve. No matter if it’s filled with a hoodie and various pouches holding makeup, power cords, and snacks; it's easy to access. I like to use the zip pocket on the top to store antibacterial wipes, hand sanitizer, headphones, and anything else I want easy access to once I arrive on the flight,” says Porcaro.

Capacity: 23.8 L / Waterproof : No

• Pros: Drawstring closure offers more space; zip pocket on top for easy access; durable material great for travel and the outdoors
• Cons: G-hook buckle closure can sometimes be tough

Best Waterproof : SealLine Skylake Dry Pack

The beauty of this piece is that it rolls up for easy packing within a suitcase or larger travel backpack. The fact that it's created from an extremely lightweight material also ups the packability and wear factor. Jen Ator, a personal trainer, used this on her honeymoon in Thailand. “Not only was it super sturdy and waterproof, but it fits everything we needed during day trips.” She also pointed out how handy the exterior pocket was for easy access to essentials like a phone to snap a picture of her and her husband.

Capacity : 18 L / Waterproof : Yes

• Pros: Lightweight; stowable
• Cons: No interior pocket

Best Convertible : Thule Crossover 2 Convertible Backpack

Adaptability is vital when traveling, and this Thule convertible backpack offers various ways to hold it. If you're in a tight space, de-boarding, or want to give your shoulders a break, there is a longer shoulder strap and top handle to hold. Inside the backpack, you'll find compartments that look like your favorite easy-rolling carry-on suitcase, making it easy to keep everything with you secure and organized. Another standout feature is the exterior crush-resistant SafeZone compartment that's perfect for storing sunglasses or a phone.

Capacity: 21 ¾"H x 14"W x 8"D. / Waterproof : Water Resistant

• Pros: Crust resistant, two-way zip closure, RFID-shielded pocket;
• Cons: Expensive

Best for City Travel : PAK Large Nylon Backpack

“As a backpack I recently added to my collection, I was impressed by how many features were hidden in what seemed like a pretty basic bag. First, it’s worth noting how seamlessly this slid on and off my back, making it a breeze to sit on the subway or grab my wallet to buy coffee. At first glance, I was confused about the zipper on the bottom of the front pocket, but when I realized it was a coat sling, which, as someone who runs cold and always has an extra layer, is something I will use again and again. Another made-for-me feature is an extra large pocket for water bottles since it’s a personal pet peeve when they aren’t wide enough for standard sizes. Having only worn this around the city for daily life, I appreciate that the shape and look of the pack are city-ready and more polished. When I take this on international trips, I look forward to using the hidden theft-proof compartments,” says Porcaro.

Capacity: 13.5”L x 7” W x 14” H / Waterproof : No

• Pros: Easy access pocket in the back, Coat sling, Large side pockets
• Cons: Not super large

Best Customizable : Roam Continental Backpack

Anyone who is a fan of customization will appreciate this pick. Buyers can choose the color they want on the front, back, side, and straps to create a bag that is uniquely theirs. This is favorite of Glamour commerce editor Jenifer Calle , who has been using it for years. “It fits enough for weekend trips and vacation travel. I particularly like that the side zippers fit my Owala water bottle and there are plenty of zipper and pockets to hold my wallet, keys, chargers, lip balms, and more” says Glamour’s Calle.

Capacity : 26 L / Waterproof : Water Repellent

• Pros : Customizable; 100-day trial period; soft material; luggage sleeve
• Cons : Expensive

This sleek backpack easily slips on top of a suitcase with its trolley sleeve, and can also fit a great deal if it's the only luggage you're bringing. Plus, it features a 15" laptop pocket.

Don't be fooled by the simple design of this pack: it offers all the bells and whistles you could possibly want for everyday traveling. Features include a detachable folio kit, a 15" laptop sleeve, a trolley sleeve, and several thoughtfully designed interior pockets for storing everything from electronics to toiletries and clothing.

Over 11,000 reviewers rated this backpack five stars on Amazon thanks to its roomy interior and security features. One customer wrote, "This backpack somehow bends the rules of physics to fit several outfits (warm-ish weather), a pair of shoes, carry-on toiletries, and a few personal items. I’ve taken this on three trips so far and the zippers and stitching are holding fast despite pushing it to its limits on an international trip."

A trekking pole attachment offers ease on rough terrain, hipbelt pockets make snacks and essentials easily accessible, and a raincover and ice axe holder offer protection during inclement weather.

BÉIS The Expandable Backpack

If you tend to overpack (or do a lot of shopping on vacation), an expandable backpack offers added flexibility. Not only does this one offer extra space, but it also comes with functional details like a key leash, laptop sleeve, trolley sleeve, and water bottle pockets.

Fjällräven Kånken Water Resistant Backpack

This Scandinavian backpack was originally produced in the 1970s for Swedish schoolchildren, but has since become iconic around the world thanks to its stylish yet practical design. The water-resistant material makes it durable, and the foam insert and cheerful color makes it a piece you'll be reaching for often.

How to shop for a travel backpack for women:

Look for the following when shopping for a new travel carry-on backpack:

✔️ Durability: A travel backpack is an investment piece that you'll hopefully get a lot of use out of, so there are several factors to consider before buying. The primary question to ask yourself is how you plan to use it, and whether it's important to buy something that you can use in a variety of settings. To get the most value out of your purchase, we recommend looking for features that offer versatility and durability, such as high-quality, water-resistant material.

✔️ Support and comfort: Additionally, whether or not you have back issues, it's important to consider the level of support a backpack offers. Opting for lightweight packs, with cushioned back panels, and ergonomic straps will protect your shoulders (and will also make for a much more pleasant wearing experience.)

✔️ Style and special features: Lastly, taking into account your personal style and any must-have features will help narrow down the many options available. Take time to think about if the aesthetic is a top priority, or if a different aspect such as organizational capabilities or eco-friendly manufacturing is more important to you. The good news is that if you're really having difficulty deciding, there's always the option to purchase more than one backpack for different occasions.

• Why is a travel backpack helpful? Rolling luggage certainly makes transporting your heaviest items easier, but it does require the use of one or both hands. Especially if you're traveling lighter, or for transit that occurs after those initial trips to/from the airport, a backpack allows you to move about hands-free, while still carrying more than you could with a smaller bag or purse.
• What size backpack can I bring on a plane? If you're using the backpack as your primary piece of carry-on luggage, t he maximum dimensions are typically 22 inches long, 14 inches wide and 9 inches high . If you're using it as a personal item stowed under the seat in front of you, it shouldn't exceed 18 inches long, 14 inches wide and 8 inches high.

The best vacuum storage bags make the most of your space by removing the air inside and sealing it tight. Many use a vacuum or hand pump to suck out all the air, while some travel-friendly space bags can actually be hand-pressed shut. Because of this, they're great for packing out-of-season clothes, bedding and more into small spaces like under your bed or inside your suitcase .

After consulting our in-house experts and scouring online reviews, we've rounded up the best vacuum storage bags to shop on Amazon, starting at just $8 (with fast, free shipping to boot!).

The original Spacesaver vacuum storage bags are our top pick for heavy-duty storage needs where damage protection is imperative, like cross-country moves and travel. You can use either the included hand pump or your vacuum to reduce volume by up to 80%, according to the brand. Choose from small to jumbo sizes and variety packs for all your storage needs.

Reviewers appreciate its ease of use and sturdy plastic . "I'm moving all the way across the country and was stressed out wondering how much of my clothing I could actually take with me. These Space Saver bags are a life saver!" wrote one five-star reviewer . "They are so easy to pack, zip and vacuum out the air. One of my best purchases ever here on Amazon (and I've made thousands)."

Stow bulky bedding, sweaters, pillows and more with these space-saving storage bags. You can either use the included hand pump or a standard vacuum cleaner to compress each bag and reduce volume by up to 80%, according to the brand. For under $20, this pack comes with four bag sizes to store different items: the smallest size fits six to eight sweaters while the largest fits a queen-sized bedding set.

The triple-sealed valve is designed to keep bags airtight so your items stay condensed, and the double-layered material is designed to be puncture- and scratch-resistant, making it more durable against damage. "They're strong and sturdy," one Amazon reviewer said . "They have great sizes and storage space, and they hold the seal (some for a year now)."

Skip the checked luggage line at the airport with these travel-friendly storage bags. Forté named the Ziploc Space Bag a long-standing Lab favorite. There's no need for a pump or a vacuum to take the air out — simply fill each with up to five pounds of clothing or bedding, seal it with the Ziploc slider and fold to press out the air. It also costs under $10 for a pack of two.

Since they don't require any bulky equipment, these bags are a great option for users on the go. The brand claims the bags reduce the volume of clothing and bedding by up to 75%. They're also waterproof and airtight per the brand, meaning they should help protect your items from damage caused by travel and storage.

Boasting more than 38,000 five-star reviews and counting, Amazon's #1 best-selling space saver bags claim to shrink the size of your items by up to 80%. This variety pack includes 20 bags, making them great for anyone moving houses or with lots of vacuum storage needs. The pack includes standard vacuum-sealable bags as well as travel bags that can be rolled to press out air — no pump required.

Waterproof and reusable (purported by the brand), the bags' valves and seals are designed to prevent expansion and keep moisture and debris out. "The quality of these bags is outstanding," one online shopper wrote . "I feel confident storing my clothing, bedding and other textiles knowing they are safe and well-preserved."

Whether you need to increase your under-bed storage space or condense your clothes on the go, this pack offers the most variety with six different-sized bags for all your needs . The standard bags range from pouch-sized bags for lingerie and T-shirts to extra-large bags for bedding sets and pillows . Each waterproof bag has a handy line to show you where to stop filling them, making it more intuitive to pack than other options on our list.

While it can be sealed with the included hand pump or a vacuum, we love that the travel bags can be rolled to seal out excess air sans tool if needed. "These were a game changer during our move," an Amazon reviewer wrote . "The sizes vary drastically, accommodating many different types of items from quilts to pillows as well as clothes."

Hefty is known for its durable garbage bags and freezer bags, but the brand also has a line of high-rated vacuum storage bags. Including three large and three extra-large sizes, Hefty's Shrink-Pak bags claim to be waterproof and reusable season after season, so you don't have to worry about moisture, dust or bugs ruining your items. Plus, you can simply press the air out with your hands and seal.

We love how the extra large bags have a zipper on the long side rather than the shorter top, making it easier to pack bedding supplies like pillows and comforters. Shoppers agreed, with one writing : "We just went through a very long, drawn-out move and the shrink bags have been a true lifesaver! We were able to put lots of our clothes, towels and blankets in storage while we shopped for a new house. When we finally started unpacking, everything looked exactly the way it did when it was packed!"

Outfitted with a stylish plaid print, we wouldn't mind keeping these space bags out in plain sight. And it's not just for aesthetics. Their unique woven texture provides a bit of grip to their exterior, helping them to stay in place better while stacked. The bags come in four sizes and packs of six to 26, making them great for small organization projects and large undertakings.

Plus, they compress with a vacuum or its included pump. Reviewers appreciate the variety of sizes and ease of use, too. "I love these sealable storage bags!" one shopper wrote . "The quality is fantastic, very well-made and sturdy. I really like the assortment of colors and sizes, too, so much so that I ordered a second box!"

If you need to store cumbersome items like king-sized duvets, foam cushions or dog beds , Vacwel's XXL bags offer an impressive storage capacity of 47 by 35 inches . Featuring a nylon lining for extra durability, the brand claims these bags are waterproof and protect against dirt, bugs and dust. They even come with sticker labels to easily identify stored items.

"These bags are durable and got the job done," an Amazon shopper added . "I was able to vacuum seal large comforters and sheets! Very surprised at how many bedding items that I was able to put in the bags." Note that a pump is not included, so you'll need a vacuum handy to seal these bags.

Protect your out-of-season garments and make room for new pieces with these clever hanging storage bags on Amazon. You can stash up to five pieces of clothing inside each, including coats, jackets and suits . Just place one included hanger on each rotating ring, zip it up and vacuum all the air out. The vertical storage design keeps your clothes clean and organized until you're ready to wear them again.

"I get immense joy out of packing away my winter clothes in the Taili hanging bags," an Amazon reviewer said . "[It] shrink wraps everything into compact boards ... It was very easy and effective to use."

How we chose the best vacuum storage bags

With so many different options on the market, it can be difficult to determine which vacuum storage bags are worth buying. To help you find the right pick for your needs, we consulted our experts in the GH Institute Cleaning Lab and vetted customer reviews to bring you a range of vacuum storage bags that suit a variety of purposes.

How do you choose the best vacuum storage bags?

Choosing the best vacuum storage bags depends on your individual needs — do you just need to store a few seasonal sweaters, or pack up your whole house for a move? According to, the size and dimensions can help you figure out which options are right for you.

" They should be large enough to hold multiple items and be durable enough to use from year to year ," Forté says. For those who don't own a vacuum (or have one readily accessible), opt for a bag that can be rolled to compress or can be hand pumped.

What do you put in a space bag?

While you might want to use your vacuum storage bag to compress bulky items like winter coats and duvets, Forté warns against vacuum-sealing down-filled items . Instead, she recommends only compressing them halfway.

"Otherwise, you risk crushing and breaking the down feathers and they may then not be as lofty or insulate as well," Forté says. Additionally, be sure not to store wet items, or you risk creating mold and causing long-term damage.

How long can you store items in a vacuum storage bag?

Forté recommends using storage bags for short-term and seasonal storage . "Keep items in them too long, and you risk permanently setting creases or crushing and flattening items that are supposed to be lofty and puffy," Forte says. For best results, be sure to check the recommended storage time on your bag's instructions.

Associate Commerce Editor Lauren Gruber put together this list of the best vacuum storage bag picks, based on insights and recommendations from Carolyn Forté .

Forté brings more than 40 years of experience as a consumer products expert to her role as executive director of the Good Housekeeping Institute 's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
