This is $5 cheaper than the last FP deal on this exact same 40L bag. Great for light traveling and nomading, and doesn't come with the markup of those over marketed crap like Nomatic or Yeti.

Those "over marketed crap" products are significantly better than this cheap backpack. Many of the reviews say incredibly uncomfortable or straps tearing easily. YMMV but I wouldn't trust my back or my time to a product with no frame support or proper quality control.

Many of the reviews or just a couple?

Nonetheless, the Matein brand has travel backpacks with a supposed lifetime warranty and they're less than $40! Better than most hyped brands. Though all brands seem to suffer with the claims and say everything is wear and tear, not sure about Matein

If this brand has a lifetime warranty that will actually be honored then I'll be impressed. I would hate to be somewhere like overseas and a bag breaks, or murders my back on a trip through customs. I've tried cheap packs before and was always left wanting.

Well I don't disagree about a nomadic pack but to say get a cheap no name pack is a little bit off the mark. Quality bags that will last cost some degree of money, wait for a good deal but they exist. People who actually onebag it don't want something uncomfortable that can rip a strap halfway across the world. If you just want a spare or a backup cool, if you have a trip coming up and this is your budget that's fine, but let's not pretend that spending an extra 80 or so bucks isn't going to give you something exponentially better.

Just the few they specifically pretended to read in their hypothetical cherry picking...ignoring the 5000 5-star reviews in the process.

But yes, we know a $28 backpack isn't going to be equal to a Yeti. We get it, you spent $250 on a bag you are scared to sit on the floor because it might get dirty and ignore the exact same straps...in the exact same part of your body...causing the exact same pressure because ...its a Yeti.

I haven't had my back "murdered" by a pack since I was in the Army. But that line to customs sometimes lasts an hour and carry on weight limit is 26 lbs so this probably is a close second to that experience Wink

I used to carry 100lb packs plus body armor regularly in the Marines. My back and shoulders are blown out. I value a comfortable reliable pack. I own zero yeti packs but it's as ignorant as your comment to compare this pack to anything with moderate quality.

You can buy a pack that blows this one out the water and would last a long time for a reasonable price. Listen to yourself. Adult?

So I'm preaching to the choir!

I do as well. I also value a cheap bag I am only going to carry briefly from place to place and don't have to throw a tantrum if I am forced to check the bag because suddenly the overhead bins are full. Happened to me Friday with United Airlines. I did see a couple of people having mild panic attacks because their status symbol bags were being pried from their arms. Don't be that guy.

Perhaps it is pure ignorance to compare two things you admit to not owning either? What point of comparison are you using again if neither bag has ever touched your shoulders?

My go to travel pack is this guy. Just took two flights on Friday using it. LOVE IT.

$30 every day of the week at BJ's.

Now for a hike or ruck we'd be having a different conversation. It wouldn't involve a Yeti either...."kid."

Two replies to the same comment? And did you just show up to crap on this product or white knight Yeti which you claim to have never have owned? Not sure which is sadder, that or the fact you feel "murdered" by a bag that couldn't weigh more than 20lbs fully loaded yet you also admit to never tocuhing.

BTW, "Fake Spot" also lists Solo Cups, Frosted Flakes, Amazon Gift Cards....all as D's and F's. Is Tony the Tiger now hiring shill reviewers?

"Big ol F" for Frosted Flakes

What "morning" do you speak of? And I edited for typos. Feel free to keep projecting though.

I travel alot and I am an avid international backpacker. I do not own this exact model but I did purchase their smaller bag to use as a personal item for international and budget airline travel. Took it to South America for 6 months and I love it!!
This bag is not designed to compete with brands like Osprey nor would I recommend it for a long trip hiking or trekking.
Having said that the best thing about this bag is its rectangular shape and dimensions which are perfect to maximize airline guideline size for a carryon.
My pack is great looking, comfortable, efficient and I love the hidden pocket in these packs to store valuables snug against your back.
I assume it won't last very long, is not very padded and is made of a very thin tear prone material, but the trade off is a lighter backpack carryon at an incredible value.
If that is what you are in the market for, I highly recommend it.

I have this same bag.
I have had it for 2 1\2 years
I have traveled with it as carry-on
for 8 trips without issues.

The bag is very durable
No issues with rips, zippers or shoulder straps
The bag has two strong padded handles at the
top and side( if you don't want to use the shoulder straps).
The shoulder straps can be hidden if you want to use it as a carry bag only.

it is a great bag at this price and would be worth it up to about $100

I love how my marketing tactics can foster so much engagement. sd should hire me 😂

I own a Yeti and Nomatic backpack, while Yeti is indeed comfortable, and Nomatic has a lot of utility, I do agree with the other guy that it needs to be babied, hesitant to scratch it or treat it like a rugged bag.

I did travel a bunch with an OGIO backpack with the steel handle, those things have been mad durable! Nomatic on the other hand is so easy to get dirty 😭

For those late to the party, the less than Yeti bag is now $40. Thanks for playing
