Amazon has its own backpack?
Yes, you read it right! Who would've thought they sell their own travel backpack, right?
The Amazon Basics Carry On Travel Backpack is a 40-liter pack that's minimalist and super affordable. If you're someone who just wants a relatively cheap travel pack that does its job, then this one is absolutely for you.
This pack has stowable shoulder straps and a sternum strap so you can carry it in backpack and duffel mode. It also has a decent laptop compartment, not the best when it comes to its padding, so keep that in mind. OVERALL this pack isn't the best when it comes to its materials, look, features, etc.; BUT it still does a decent job, especially for its price point.
To learn more about our honest thoughts about the Amazon Basics Carry On Travel Backpack, watch our video for an in-depth review!

Finally something us plebians can afford, otherwise everything is so expensive in your channel. Would be nice if you could do more budget gears please 😅 I know everyone in the community cares about quality and can easily spend 300+ pounds on a backpack, would really appreciate if you could bring some budget videos like this for folks like us.
More budget gear reviews on the way!
@@Nomads.Nation yay!
Is there a similar backpack at around 20-25 liter (same price point)
AliExpress…
I never thought I'd see an amazon basics bag on this channel but I'm for it! It's important to consider everyone's budget and requirements. Not everyone cares for YKK zippers and eco systems, nice job A!
Thanks dude! We get a lot of requests for budget friendly bags and plan to do a lot more reviews like this in the future 💪🏻
Zippers and hardware have high fail rates on luggage/bags. Insist on YKK.
@@jimbergmann8633 agreed on the fail rates, but YKK is hard to find at this price range
Like some people say, cheap things cost more on the long run; tho some expensive things are overpriced, that's where reviews help 😂
@@bella11110 got yo back 👊
Amazing! Great honest review, complete, alternatives with the links. Keep up the same format!
Thanks, will do!
Very nice to have the budget video. Im also a quality snob, but my bestie is not and I'm happy to have some suggestions for her. I cant wait to see some other budget friendly reviews
More budget reviews coming very soon!
Hey Aaron, great video! I was wondering if you had any plans to review the Alpaka Shift V2 as it looks like a pretty interesting version of their other travel pack.
Thank you! The Shift is not on our immediate radar, but hopefully we can get our hands on one in the next few months
good review and glad you are reviewing some less expensive bags too, I think that's great! good alternatives too. maybe not your core audience but the e-bags mother load pack also comes to mind, budget friendly and not terrible but does have some room for improvement (notably a hip strap for a travel bag of that size). could be a lot of people out there looking for reviews on it. keep up the great work.
Great suggestion! I’ve heard a lot about this bag so I’m excited to check it out
@@Nomads.Nation I'll send you mine in perfect condition if you want, you can send it back when done.
Looks good. Thanks for the review. Any chance doing a review of vango quest 65? Thanks
Cheers! Not on our radar yet but I’ll be sure to check it out
Been using a different Amazon backpack for the past 5+ years. Held up a lot better than I expected through daily use and occasional travel. Some of the interior has started to rip and tear a bit, but it’s still very useable. Though it looks extremely generic, still a lot of bang for my buck
So much value
what bag have you been using??
So watching this a got a great idea for you, what about doing a series on how well the bags hold up over time after a lot of use? It'll give a good feel for the longevity...for instance i watched a review of the Peak Design Everyday Zip and they mentioned the ends of the flex dividers started to fray after a month in... not that they didn't function but something to keep an eye on and could be considered 'normal' wear. I only mention because longevity for the pricier bags is definitely a factor. Just a thought 💭! Cheers, loving the reviews!
So I love the idea, I just wouldn’t know how to implement it. Let me ponder on it
Been using mine for the last five and half years, outside of some scuff marks like it was dragged across something sharp everything else works and looks like the day I got it. Maybe the removed it since I got it but the laptop compartment has a sling like apparatus for lifting a laptop so it sits more in the middle of the compartment works well for a 16in laptop.
Nice! I’m 99% sure that feature doesn’t exist on the newest version (unless I missed it)
I have to admit I own only one Amazon Basics product, a small all black duffle bag. Its pretty awesome quality for the $30 price point lol but its always a gamble what type of quality you get at such a low cost. Its a hit and
miss experience. Great review!
I’ll have to review that one!
Gotta say this seems like a surprisingly good deal for that price. Could be a good bug-out bag to keep in the car or to get for kids. I have a couple of Amzn Basics packing cubes sets that I’ve been using for a couple years and they’re holding up pretty well.
for sure!
could you consider doing a roundup for the best bags that are personal item sized?
Added to our to do list - thanks for the suggestion!
Do review "Decathalon Quechua Nature Hiking 32L Backpack Escape 500"
It's another budget 32L travel backpack similar to this.
Decathalon has a lot of affordable (or cheap) backpacks for every function (hiking, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50L, etc)
I’d love to do more Quechua reviews - hopefully soon
Bravo on reviewing something more economical. Yes, many viewers would like to know about the high-end products but there's a huge portion of the population that will never afford them. I think Tomtoc and Ulanzi products are economical and high-enough quality to be worthy of reviews.
100% agreed - we’ve got a lot more budget bag reviews lined up!
Hey its not as bad as I was expecting. If it doesn't feel like its flimsy thats half the battle. At least it the zippers are questionable, it has backup compression straps to take the load off. I'm assuming the Arcido is a lot better though, I think they have one thats like $70-80ish.
Are Arcido’s that cheap now? I reviewed one of their bags years ago and loved it for the price point, I’m gonna have to check out more of their stuff
Great video.
Thanks dude!
Fun review. Also I think the contents you used to pack out the Amazon Basics bag was probably 2x the price of the bag :D
😂
No link for Tomtoc backpack review or buy link, or for the Matein backpack :(
It says coming soon
I have the tom toc works great
Amazing budget bag
Aaron! Amazon 😂. Okay, now I want you to cover Ikea sling and backpack too
If it’s a bag, I’ll review it!
@@Nomads.NationIKEA has a bunch of bags. They are pretty good actually too probably better then Amazon basics 🤣
@@patrick1992 added to the list
Is there a link to the TomToc bag?
I don’t have a link or review for that yet - coming soon!
Have you checked the target brand bag?
No but I’ll take a look
I kind of like the main compartment opening of this Amazon bag more than the Tomtoc one. It's more... open. The Tomtoc seems to have a lip around the top that looks a little annoying.
you aren't wrong
Looks an awful lot like the Bange 22039 model with a little variance. Good value.
haven't heard of that bag but I'll def check it out
The best carry on travel bag is the Osprey Daylite Duffel 45 L. It's one giant 45L bucket that you can organize with packing cubes if you're into that sort of thing. Never need to check a bag. It's great because it's high quality but doesn't look expensive so you don't stick out like a sore thumb advertising to thieves that you spend a bunch of money on your travel gear (and therefore probably have expensive stuff in your bag).
I’ve heard great things! But there’s no way you are going to be able to carry that bag on to every flight - it will get checked from time to time
Hello,
Im going to dallas for literally 2 days on American Airlines, i just want to bring a carry on
Would this bag pass the bag check?
not sure, take a look at the dimensions of the bag and the dimensions of American Airlines bag policies and you'll have your answer
Its not bad actually. All the amazonbasics products are good. I own some
For the price I was pretty impressed
Off topic Aaron but i realised you’ve never reviewed any Goruck products, any reason why ?
Just could never get my hands on one UNTIL last week when someone from the community let me borrow a few GR1s… reviews coming soon!
@@Nomads.Nation sweet looking forward to it man !
@@sinthur5435 me too!
“$50 super, super adorable”
Me: laughs along with everyone else, nervous cough
Did I say adorable?? 😂
These got better side handle than the Tomtoc ones 💀💀
Cheers!
@@Nomads.Nation would you be comparing Tomtoc T66 vs Amazon basics backpack? They are similarly priced and even look kinda inspired by each other 😂 p.s. I have the Tomtoc.
@@thenikhilray99 thanks for the suggestion! But we don't do a lot of 'versus' videos cuz they don't get a lot of views
Wow, this is pretty early. You are indeed early bird 😂
🐦
Can you cut the brand name off ?
I don't believe so
no external water bottle sleeve? Deal breaker.
Kinda surprising they didn’t include it tbh
Used it and it broke at the seams in less than a year
Thanks for your feedback
slow it down to 0.5 and have a laugh...
😂
No bottle holder, not buy.
