High Sierra Freewheel Wheeled Laptop Backpack Black 20 5 x 13 5 x 8-Inch

I bought this for airplane carry on bag and it's GREAT! VERY large interior and many functional compartments, pockets, and slots to keep organized while traveling. LOVE the light navy blue color, it's pretty! it rolls nicely and seems sturdy. AND my fat Hydroflask water bottle easily fits in the the outside mesh pocket! Read more

Awesome travel bag. It's not super huge so you can keep in the overhead but has enough room for short trips. I dragged it around Seattle for a convention, in and out of the rain. Took it on the ferry and had it with me most of the time and it held up well. I never strapped it to my back, rather kept it rolling around and even when I was running away from homeless attackers, it held up quite well and rolled smooth and has shown pretty much no signs of breaking down. Very happy with the purchase, probably more than most of the garbage I end up with these days. Read more

I bought these bags for my kids. We live overseas and I needed to get them emergency bags (BOB) in case we need to jump out of here in a hurry (we don't live in the most hospitable place!). I wanted them to be able to carry the bags as well as use the wheels since, in our case, we could end up spending a lot of time in airports. A heavy backpack for kids under 13 would be impractical. I also didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for a bag. High Sierra offered a good balance between price and quality, plus it was a backpack on wheels! It's well-made, better than a lot of the cheap stuff I've seen in stores and the wheels are sturdy. It has storage for a laptop and smaller inside pockets to keep smaller items. There is also a pocket on the outside which can store a water bottle. The bag is pretty light for a wheely when it's emtpy. The bag is full now with a couple of day's clothes, accessories, toileteries...etc. and it's easty for me to carry but not for the kids... but they can wheel them around with ease. I've seen nicer and better quality bags, but they are a lot more expensive that this bag. I read a lot of reviews of people using these as school bags for their kids. I would say the bag is too big for a school bag. It makes and excellent travel bag or BOB! Read more

I really like this bag because it has a sturdy handle, sturdy wheels and is spacious to fit my work laptop, notebook, over the head headphones, snack box, and water bottle among other things. I commute to work via subway and then walk a couple blocks. However, the zippers on the main compartment go all the way down and there is no strap so the contents can spill out if you open it too far. This is why I’m returning it. I should’ve watched the product video instead of just looking at the pictures! Read more

You know you need a rolling backpack when you grow three inches after removing your current backpack. Going to school nowadays requires several textbooks, notebooks, and a laptop--not to mention the sack lunch you try to shove in on top. This rolling backpack is QUALITY. It was exactly what I needed. I named him Hugo. Hugo and I have been together for two years now, and he shows no signs of wear and tear. This is incredible, because I walk around West Valley College campus for a mile or two each day just trying to get from one class to another. Hugo has been rolled through the rain-- (my books did not get wet)-- across grass, dirt, and bumpy tarmac, and even flown to Texas and back. My laptop fits perfectly in the laptop pocket on the inside---and I have a large laptop, too, not a Netbook or whatever they're called. It's easy to roll this thing, and it takes all the weight for you. You don't feel like you're dragging it around because it rolls so smoothly. I don't use the straps ever, so I can't tell you how that function is, but everything else is sublime in design. To give you an idea of space, my record for shoving books into this backpack is twelve thick books. (twelve books, not textbooks). That was on top of my laptop, cord, and notebooks for class. Please, if you get a rolling backpack, get this one. It's worth the money, it's not flimsy, it stays working for who knows how long--for two years running so far, it's spacious, it protects laptops well, the handle's easy to hold on to, it doesn't make too much noise when it's rolling--- it's just an awesome, awesome backpack. If I could find the design team that made it, I'd send them all thank you cards. Read more

Right off the bat, I want to express my admiration for how this thing was advertised as "smooth ride". I didn't buy it for that specifically but I was astonished at how that's definitely true. I wheel this thing around with me every single day -- it makes a two-mile roundtrip through a city whose sidewalks haven't seen better days since the 60s when they were probably first paved, and it's been an absolute trooper. I have a laptop in there (all the accessories I need for the laptop such as the charger, mouse, etc.), a lunch box, two sweatshirts, a sketchbook, and a drawing tablet. It's a tight fit, but nothing is getting damaged or bent. The handle is very long so it's very comfortable to roll without feeling like I have to slightly drop my shoulder to accomodate, which has relieved a lot of the back pain I've had from using a regular luggage bag. It's got a plastic underside which takes away the anxiety of coming to sudden stops on concrete and fearing that you may have torn the underside of the bag. I will say, I haven't used it as a backpack much because it's not particularly comfortable long-term. Because of the compartment where the handle is stored, the back is rigid flat and doesn't have any ergonomic give -- it feels exactly how you would imagine attaching backpack to a luggage bag would be. I'm not taking off any stars for this though, because I still greatly appreciate the option when I need to get somewhere at a brisk jog, or I don't want to hurt my shoulders/arms from carrying it with one hand up several flights of stairs.
