"I used this bag as my only luggage for a 2 month trip through Japan and kept weight at around 16kg. The only downside is the top compartment which opens toward the back, not the front. I lost a puffa jacket as it must've rolled out when the pack was on a hotel floor. Other than that, am about to purchase another one for my partner as we head off for more travels!"
"Excellent quality and design. Great that it's as big as it can be for carry on."
"I have had one since 2018 and taken it on so many trips. SO versatile for business trips or weekend trips. It's been stuffed full and no zip failures! About to get a second one for a family member."
"One major flaw is that when the bag is on the ground flat, the small compartment opens towards the back so your stuff falls out. You have to flip the bag the wrong way up or up vertical to take your stuff out then flip it back again to get stuff out of the main compartment. Everything else is great apart from that one big annoyance."
"Great bag especially for the price when on sale. I was ready to buy 2x but I didn't because the straps are too close to each other at the top seams so they bite at the nek!"
"Chose this bag because it opens like a suitcase and can be worn like a backpack. I’m very much a senior, I pack the standard 5 undies/4tops/3bottoms2footwear/1coat + numerous misc items. Love the separate open storage at the top I use for sponge bag/wallet/sweets. Has been on twk riad trips, its a keeper"
"Bag useful for longweekend away but needs bigger main compartment"
"I recently took the Litehaul Carry On on a trip to Cambodia and couldn’t have been happier with it. It’s the perfect size for carry-on travel, spacious enough to fit everything I needed, while still being compact and easy to manage. The design is super practical, with well-thought-out compartments that made packing and accessing my things really easy, especially when moving between locations. It was also really comfortable to carry, even on longer travel days, which made a big difference. The quality feels excellent and durable, and it held up really well throughout the trip. Overall, such a reliable and stylish travel bag. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a functional carry-on for travel."
"Excellent bag for carryon. Separate laptop and drink bottle pockets, suitcase style opening, good straps with mesh back. Love it for carryon only travel and have now bought 3. Only downside is that zips are slightly basic/small, perhaps manufacturer could use stronger zips on the next iteration of this model."
"Rugged, ergonomic, and flawlessly sized. The Litehaul 38L takes the stress out of packing and replaces it with pure efficiency. If you're looking for the ultimate balance of capacity and comfort, look no further. This is Kathmandu at its absolute best."
