Question 1

No photo of back--is this a backpack or just a handle on top? Are the backstraps adjustable?  Question how study are the straps for packed weight?

Accepted Answer

The bag is a backpack, but is made for the express purpose of use on the "budget airlines".  It is made to the dimensions of the airline's specifications.  Unlike most backpacks that "load from the top" and have several dividers or partitions- this bag is made for easy packing.  It opens like a clam shell for ease in packing, and totes like a backpack.  We have used prototype bags for 3 years.  We have carried 25-30 pounds routinely.  The padded straps are adjustable.  We travel a lot and rarely ever check luggage, two backpacks do the trick!  There is an outside pocket and an internal sleeve for your tablet or laptop.  I hope this helps.

Question 2

How large of a laptop will this hold in the inside pocket?

Accepted Answer

The bag will handle a laptop that measures 17".  That is taking a measurement from bottom to top of the bag (internally).  My laptop is a 15.6 inch diagonal measurement, and it fits in the bag easily.  I hope that this helps?!  Unlike most backpacks that contain "slices of 2 or 3 compartments" each occupying perhaps 2-3 inches our backpack is made specifically for volume.  It packs like a suitcase and totes with the ease of a backpack.  Most backpacks require loading from the top, ours opens wide for easy packing.

Question 3

Does this bag have protection for your phone to keep it from being scanned by hackers

Accepted Answer

No it doesn't have the RFID protection.  It would require encasing the entire bag- I don't know of any bags/backpacks that have this protection.  It might be worth looking into a phone enclosure that would feature this protection.  It would be lots cheaper to enclose ONLY the phone as to cost of enclosing the entire bag.  It's something that we might look into, there is likely a market for it. Thank you for a potential great idea!

Question 4

In what country is this made?

Accepted Answer

I don't know where it is made.  It doesn't say on the product itself, although it may have been stated somewhere on the packing materials.  It doesn't matter to me, because it appears well-made and got the job done on both Spirit and Sun Country airlines.  Saved me $80 in bag fees, so it is already paid for.  Holds more than you might expect.
