MATEIN Rolling Travel Backpack, Sturdy 17 Inch Laptop Bag with Wheels for Women Men, 30 L Wheeled Backpack Carry on Luggage Water Resistant Roller Computer Bag for Nurse Teacher Work, Black

Durable and Quality.

My daughter and I are going to Europe on a three week trip across different countries and do not want to lug around a big suitcase. We need one small personal item and a carry-on. We decided we wanted to do rolling backpacks so we can throw on our backs over cobble roads, as well as roll when needed in airports. I got these five as they were both Low-cost (under $60) and had high ratings. Now I have to decide between five of them which two we are keeping. In order from left to right in the photos they are the Targus, Gotech, Bagsmart, Yorepek and Matein.As you can see here Targus is one of the smallest ones of the five and unfortunately also has wheels that don’t roll very smoothly so that one was out for our use.Matien was also one of the smallest ones and i like so much about it. But from the remaining four, it had the least smoothest roll, did not have an attached rain cover for the backpack and if you planned to take a laptop, it would have to be less than 15”, super small laptop backpack. So this one is out too.Down to last three:Gotech has the smoothest roll but it is also pretty small and slim and doesnt look like it could carry a lot. It is however the only one in which you cannot feel the wheels no matter how full it is. Its also the sleekest/prettiest. And less visible logo. I hate seeing logos. I want to keep this one but ultimately the material feels like pleather and likely will start showing signs of wear and tear quickly. That one is out.So by default, sticking with the Yorepek which appears extremely durable and more spacious, but with that, its also the heaviest. The others feel about the same weight. Yorepek is cool bc bottom-side has a small handle if there is a need to grab from bottom (think plane loading.) Tons of pockets. Unfortunately doesn’t open all the way.Also sticking with Bagsmart. Lots of pockets, and down the middle on all the other issues mentioned above.I just noticed, on of The final choices also happen to be the cheapest of the five as of this review, so thats a plus: yorepek.

Very easy to use. However the handle takes up room from the inside of the backpack. This leaves less space to put your belongings. The handle does hide inside the backpack which is a nice feature but again takes up space. Side pockets are roomy.

Update: Still going strong after 2 full school years of tons of weight, rainy days and a huge campus(lots of steps). I am starting a 3rd school year with this bag and all zippers and stitching is in perfect condition. GET THIS BAG!!Well, this bag made it through an entire school year and is still going strong. It was used daily and wheeled through a large school campus. I'm extremely impressed with the quality and how well is has held up. It also did well in the rain, as everything was always dry on the inside after walking through a good ole Texas downpour. BUY THIS BAG!! It's a great investment and holds so much! I forgot to add that I have never taken the straps out to use as a backpack, but I did find out that I can stuff even more items in that zippered pocket that holds the backpack straps.

It looks great but when I tried to use it it was broken very dissatisfied. I was planning to use it for a trip now I have to go run out and find a new one. All the design and pockets look great just wished it worked out for me

It was time for me to stop lugging everything on my back all the time, so I wanted a replacement for my previous computer backpack which had lots and lots of zipper compartments and a padded laptop compartment, and which fit under the airline seat. I went looking for one exactly like that one but with wheels and a handle for pulling like a rolling suitcase. This was by far the most reasonably priced and yet lightweight I could find. It has slightly fewer pockets than my old non-wheeled one, but I can live with that. It's been with me now on four airline trips with connections in busy airports and it has held up very well. No issues with TSA or fitting in most models of plane. (In one puddle-jumper it wouldn't fit under the seat that is a single row but was fine in the middle seat.)

UPDATE: Still rolling a year later and it takes some abuse! Best purchase I’ve made!!!I’ve only had this for a few weeks and use it for a light maintenance bag at work. Wheels seem durable and the compartments are big and open to carry just what I need. I did a lot of research on these prior to picking this one and it fit all of my needs. Good size, sturdy (doesn’t fall over, YAY) and looks good too.

I bought this as a replacement for a similar size one I had but did not have wheels. It is large and seems to be spacious enough for my usual personal items for carry on. I have yet to use it. It is certainly deep enough with a padded section for a lap top and tablet. Since the frame is hard it may limit some of the softer items I usually squeeze in when I travel. Overall seems well constructed with plenty compartments.
