Border Carry-On 40L Travel Backpack

Streamlined & comfortable

From 2 wk international vacation to shorter work trips, this bag easily manages both. Too big for a traveling daypack for me, but could be a good choice for shorter hiking trips. Ease of use, plenty of organizational space worked well. Haven’t found anything that didn’t meet or exceed my needs so far. From Beginner to expert, great for multi-uses. Thought I wanted black but the tan/brown color has grown on me.

Best Carry On!

I love this bag! I have been on many trips all over the world, and this has been a great carryon. I recently had a house fire and lost this, and it was one of the first things that I needed to replace.

Spacious and great features

Took backpack on a 5 day trip across Europe, mainly Croatia. Lots of stairs and cobblestones, so it was nice to have a comfortable backpack to carry around. You are able to pack away the shoulder and waist straps if you don’t want them hanging out. Very spacious! Lots of pockets for storage. Some of the zippers have a lock cover so it has more safe and sound of mind.

I loved this bag as a carry on and versatile as a hiking pack as well! I lost the first one in a bad house fire, and I needed to replace it as soon as possible!

Awesome Carry On

Great for overhead carry on and can fit enough stuff for up to 5-7 days depending on if you need cold weather stuff or not. I was able to stuff it under a seat on one of my flights but was very hard and I'm surprised they didn't say anything. If you want a pack to fit under an airplane seat, definitely look at the 35l version of this.

Travel Tested, Highly Recommend

I grew out of my old, trusty backpack after life provided my wife and I with a child. We travel frequently to Europe and I needed a pack that would be multidimensional to include work purposes. This pack fulfills those needs and more. We recently traveled to Colombia and I was able to fit a folded suit, shoes, headphones in case, hardcover book, etc., and had plenty room to spare. I really wish this pack had a tether strap along the back to fix to my suitcase. A divide within the mesh pocket to keep important stuff from shifting as well as splitting the front (document) pocket with a top and bottom divide (with a lock strap at the zipper closed position). Aside from that, I foresee using this pack for years to come.

Best bag

I have two gregory bags. The lifetime warrenty equated a 30 precent off coupon sine my bag was discontinued. However, I had my 1st bag (roller)for 15 years and a small plastic pice that keeps the handel from comming out broke. Other than that the bag is still fine. I am now glad that it from because I used the coupon to buy the bolder carry on and this is the best bag ever. I do at least two trips a month. This bag along with TSA pre-check will be the best money you will ever spend regarding travel.

Easy to organize and carry

Compartments are well designed for ease of organization without complications of too many pockets. The waist belts are easy to put on and adjust. Fabric seems tough enough for now, I just had one trip with it, and will see how it fares in the long run.

Who’d ever want to use a roller bag again?

This is the second one of these we’ve gotten for all business and vacation trips. Holds a week of clothes easily. Keeps things organized. Fits in overhead on a plane. Carries comfortably when full. Zippers are bombproof. Great product. Not for the outdoors per se, but we just used it last week across three countries in Europe and multiple flights and train trips without a hitch. New features with water bottle pocket and laundry sleeve are nice too.

Good design awaiting field test

Good design, the primary reason for my purchase. However, I am about to embark on a 12 day trip, and will find out soon how good it works in the field. Construction is good, I like the waist strap that is adjustable and can be tucked away.
