The perfect short trip bag.
I purchased the Powerglide Pro rolling backpack after a back injury which would not allow me to carry a heavy book bag at school. For that, it's perfect, I can fit every book I have, my laptop, my tablet, and everything else I could need inside this one pack. It's definitely a large pack, which would be excellent for traveling light if you were taking flights from place...

A backpack build out of chiffon material.
The material used is SO THIN that it will tear easily. How can the designer team be allowed to produce such a fragile backpack, I have to reinforce some parts for better protection. High Sierra should recall the backpack.

Best carry-on!
I absolutely love this backpack. I can pack enough for at least two weeks, it rolls well and fits even European overhead bins. I use compression cubes and do not check bags and along with my personal item traveling has never been so easy. (I have not used the backpack feature as that is for emergency use only and so far I have not had any emergencies.) The only reaso...

Nice design, thin nylon and fragile seams
Backpack did great as a camera bag for a combination of air travel and hiking, loved being able to convert between rolling and backpack. However, the nylon material seems cheap and not durable. On the first use, before getting on my first flight, the seam near the rolling handle ripped away and failed. Given almost no use, I’m hoping that High Sierra will cover under...

Use for air travel and the handle strictures broke
I own this in the beginning of sept and use it for air travel once, i put it inside the cabin storage, but when i gott off, the steel handle sfoundation has bent.
This is very disappointing since i have this bag in just under a month.
I have high expectations and the quality would be great since i have previous purchases of high sierra.
Now even when i tried to file ...

BIG
This thing is huge! Lots of room in this one. It also glides easy. I love the zip up pocket to tuck away the handle in. I also love the 2 side pockets. They are big enough for a large water bottle. Well done and a beautiful color.

My second High Sierra backpack 🎒
Excellent wheeled backpack. This is my second one. The other is around ten yrs old and still is in good conditions. I truly recommend them.

Rolling back pack.
Love the side pockets for water bottles. Roomy, rolls well, well made. Good interior design for organization. Would love some small loops on the bag to accommodate hiking hooks.

side pocket durability? otherwise a good pack
I would have given it a 5 star rating but there are two design/construction issues. The first is that the laptop compartment padding should be thicker/firmer. The second is the durability of the side mesh pockets is not great. My son has a 32oz hydroflask with a rounded bottom and somehow there's already a quarter sized hole towards the bottom of the pocket.

Great for Travel
I have used this bag all over the UK and Ireland with no issue. It's easy to wheel around and to quickly convert to a backpack. It's fit as a carry on for Iceland Air and some Domestic US airlines as well without issue(though technically it's just a tad too large for some so be careful here). It stands upright with no problem and handles seem sturdy. It was fine in ligh...
