I love this bag. It is large and fits a ton in the multiple sections, yet it counts as a personal item onboard every airline I have been on. It hasn't always fit under some of the tight foot holds, esp when over packed, but I could put it overhead or take out a pillow & jacket to squeeze it under if needed. It has a sturdy side strap to carry it like a briefcase (you can tuck away the straps), a pocket that holds it on a roller bag, or straps to wear it as a backpack. It is pretty lightweight, but well-made so you can stuff it full and carry it heavy without fear of tears or breaking (I have maxed it out several times to avoid checking a bag). Read more

This is a great bag. I just returned from a 5 week trip to Europe, and since I didn't want to have to check a bag I used this pack as the personal item and a Hynes Eagle soft sided bag for the carry on. First off, the quality of construction seems to be great, and I never felt that I had to worry about babying the zippers or straps, or worry that something was going to tear. The most amazing part is how much it holds, and how well it holds it all. It has seven zippered storage areas, all easily accessible, so it's not a problem to separate things and get to them easily. As the trip progressed, I kept finding or buying more things that needed a place to be carried, and somehow it all kept on fitting, without ever having to force things. Toward the end of the trip I had a packing square with underwear and socks, a large paperback book, a small paperback book, my electric shaver and its accessories and charger, a number of charging cables, a Ziploc bag with all the 3 oz. liquid containers, a couple pairs of shorts, a light sweater, all of my miscellaneous toiletries, a full size 9 x 12 folder, a16 oz water bottle, a sandwich size Tupperware container full of seashells, and other random small stuff. Also a seven day medication box. On the plane on the way home I was also able to fit in two of the little lap robes that the airlines give you. If you don't want to wear it as a backpack it also has a carry handle on the top and on one side. I didn't have a tablet or laptop, but there would have been room for that as well. The plastic lined pocket for wet items is good as well. I was able to put a wet swimsuit and socks in it with no problem and no worry about getting anything else wet. Needless to say, I'm happy with it and would recommend it highly. I look forward to using it on future trips. Read more

I like the space, it's perfect size for under-seat carry on personal bag. I've used it on Spirit, Southwest, Alaska, and American. Fits a notebook computer in separate compartment. Has waterproof plastic lined pocket, and plenty of space for clothes. I'd say it's perfect for 2-3 night trip where you don't want to lug around a suitcase or a roller bag. 4 stars because the position of the straps are not to my liking, but that's a minor nitpick. It's comfy enough. Read more

First off, I'm very picky. I spent a ridiculous amount of time combing through all the fine details, photos, and reviews for dozens of very similar bags. In the end I chose the WANDF backpack and I'm glad I did. What I was looking for: ~A compact backpack that met personal item size standards on Frontier airlines (note that not all airlines use the same size standard) ~A fairly clean exterior to minimize chances of straps etc snagging under an airline seat. ~Numerous well thought out compartments with one large main compartment that opened fully similar to a suitcase. ~At least one hidden pocket on the exterior for valuables. ~A pass thru port for a cord from a power pack with a reasonable way to secure that power pack inside while still being easy to remove the pack at TSA if needed. ~Stowable or at least well secured backpack straps when they are not in use. ~Durable materials. ~Comfortable to carry. ~Bonus points for colors I actually like. This bag nails virtually all of those wants. ~In its un-expanded form it does meet personal item size limits on Frontier. When I arrive, if I want to shift things around and use it to carry larger items by expanding it, I also have that option. ~There are numerous pockets and yet the exterior remains fairly smooth and free of snag points. There's even a wet pocket should I need to stash a damp swimsuit or something similar without it completely messing up everything else in the bag. The main compartment swings all the way open (after releasing cinch straps and unzipping) which makes packing easier and facilitates TSA checkpoint. Two zippered pockets inside the main compartment (one mesh, one nylon) offer places to secure small items. A large laptop pocket at the back has ample space for a laptop and other items. The water bottle pocket is a bit odd... I would have preferred it to be open mesh... but it is serviceable. ~The hidden pocket on the back is in the typical spot (low back area) but the zipper tab can be pushed below the padding enough to truly render it invisible to all but the most determined scrutiny which I like for added security. Despite this it's extremely easy to open when need as well. There is a second small exterior pocket which is not technically hidden but is not overly visible on one side of the pack which gives me an additional location to stash small flat valuables. ~The outermost pocket on the front has a rubber pass thru grommet that easily allows a usb cord and/or headphone cord to fit through. The pocket itself is big enough to hold both of my rechargeable battery packs without too much extra space, so they don't slide around and get banged up. The pocket is easy to access for fast removal at TSA if needed. I personally prefer a pass thru port over the built-in connector (hard connector port that you plug battery into on inside of bag and then plug phone into on outside of bag) that some bags have because I depend on my battery pack charging my phone as quickly as possible. Built-in connectors are often of low quality and add a "slow point" in the charge circuit that I just don't find acceptable. Simply passing my own quality high speed cord through the rubber grommet of this bag assures that I get the fastest charge possible. ~Although the WANDF bag does NOT have fully stowable backpack straps, it DOES have a clever way of securing the straps when not in use that works fairly well. The trolley strap on the back can be unhooked at one side and then re-secured OVER the backpack straps to hold them snug. The trolley strap connector is a little difficult to unhook at first, but with practice I got the hang of it. ~The fabric the WANDF is made from feels tough but nice. Time will tell if it is truly durable but it certainly looks and feels the part. I've owned many bags that didn't seem anywhere near this durable that I paid far more for. So my hopes are fairly high that this will hold up. ~The WANDF is generally comfortable to carry as a backpack. Straps are well padded and the back is nicely padded with some air mesh type fabric in all the right places. I would have appreciated a sternum strap, but this is not a deal breaker as it's pretty easy to add one. I will say that the pack sits a bit high on my back (not unexpected for a fairly small pack) which CAN lead to the balance feeling a bit odd depending on how you load it. Weight distribution could prove to be important if you're planning to carry it on your back for long periods... but for short stretches while traveling it's perfectly fine regardless of how you load it in my opinion. ~The color options are pretty basic... black, grey, navy. No bonus points for anything flashy. But... the grey is extremely attractive in my opinion. It has a "heather" effect to it and looks quite nice while still being basically unremarkable... and sometime appearing unremarkable is a good thing. After all, if you ever get tempted to overload this little T.A.R.D.I.S. of a backpack and try to squeak it past a gate attendant anyway, then you probably won't want to stand out too much. All in all... I'm very impressed with the WANDF backpack. It's surprisingly roomy for it's size, has more pockets than I care to try and count, seems well made, looks attractive, is comfortable, and ticked all the boxes I had on my wishlist of features for a personal item pack.
