While I love flying, negotiating the airport was starting to become increasingly stressful. What, with long check in queues, even longer security desk queues, and what seemed like miles and miles of airport to get through, just getting to my seat on the plane was a nightmare. Well, that’s how it used to be until I invested my money in a Travel Backpack that’s been specifically designed with frequent travelers in mind. Unlike the traditional backpack where everything just seems to disappear into the abyss, this travel bag has been carefully thought through to make packing and carrying it a breeze. Here are five reasons why you may want to invest in a travel backpack for your next journey.
1. More Spacious Than You Think
This bag has been designed to be practical. That means that it opens flat for packing and unpacking, it’s easy to extend its capacity from 35-45 liters, and it comes complete with built in compression straps to secure your possessions in place. Plus, when you’ve unpacked, it collapses flat which makes for easy storage wherever you’re staying.
2. A Removable Electronics Sleeve
If you’ve ever struggled to remove your laptop from your hand luggage at security, you’ll welcome the fact that this bag has a separate electronics sleeve, so you can store all your electronics in one, easy to reach place. Want to check your email? Need to send your laptop through security in a separate tray? Simply pull out the sleeve and then slip it back inside your bag when you’re finished.
3. Handy External Pockets for Those Essential Things
Such as your travel documents, or any important information you need to keep easily at hand. The front pockets keep all your documentation safe in one place. No more creased papers, or passports lost at the bottom on your bag.
4. A Number of Ways to Carry It
One of the bag’s best features has to be the straps. They’ve been made in a way which allows you to carry the bag over your shoulder or on your back like a traditional backpack. Plus, with top and side grab handles to make pulling it from the overhead locker easier, it does double duty as a mini suitcase. It’s easy to move around, whether you’re backpacking through Asia or on a business trip to New York.
5. It’ll Stay Dry Even in The Heaviest Downpour
We’ve all had bags that have claimed to be water resistant only to open them up to find that’s not the case. This backpack is guaranteed to be water resistant, plus it’s easy to keep clean. But if you’ve any reservations about its water resistance, you’ll be pleased to know that it comes with its own rain cover to keep your electronics and other valuables dry.
The Takeaway
No matter what length of trip you’re planning, you’ll find the travel backpack a godsend. It’s quick and easy to pack, you can access everything you need easily, and passing through airport security becomes almost stress free. Plus, it’s easy to transport, and will keep all your possessions dry, wherever you happen to be.
