Item Dimensions listed as 20"H x 14"W x 7"D

Not sure if the dimensions include handles, straps, etc. Compare to personal item size limits generated from ChatGPT:

Airline Personal Item Size Limit (inches) Notes
Alaska Airlines 17 x 13 x 9 Must fit under seat
Allegiant Air 16 x 15 x 7 Strictly enforced
American Airlines 18 x 14 x 8 Should fit under seat
Avelo Airlines 14 x 9 x 9 Strictest limit
Breeze Airways 17 x 13 x 8 Must fit under seat
Delta Air Lines 18 x 14 x 8 No official size listed, but this is recommended
Frontier Airlines 18 x 14 x 8 Strict enforcement; anything larger = carry-on fee
Hawaiian Airlines 18 x 14 x 8 One personal item + one carry-on allowed
JetBlue Airways 17 x 13 x 8 Must fit under seat
Southwest Airlines 18.5 x 13.5 x 8.5 Fairly generous
Spirit Airlines 18 x 14 x 8 Carefully checked; anything larger = fee
Sun Country Airlines 17 x 13 x 9 Carry-on is extra; personal item included
United Airlines 17 x 10 x 9 Must fit under seat; tightly enforced for basic economy
I bought this in March on a SD for $26, and used it for the first time on a short two day business trip in place of my normal hard shell carry on. It definitely served its purpose. I thought the backpack option would be more convenient on sidewalks, in and out of uber etc. which it was. I will say with a little weight in the bag the shoulder straps got a bit uncomfortable after walking a good while through the terminal. In the airport on smooth surfaces the hard case roller bag would have been more convenient . Personally I would not use this as my personal item even if I got past the gate with it. Unless you don't care about having any room for your feet I'd stick to using it as a carry on instead. With a normal mid size backpack as my personal item I can still fit my feet in the space under the seat in front of me. Not possible with this bag, but to each their own. In the end, it's a nice option to have for a pretty cheap price. With the suitcase style zipper etc, definitely more "packable" than a traditional backpack.
Not that this is going to be a comfortable or even reliable bag in the long term, but in defense of the post, it states CARRY ON. So not being passed as a personal item.

40L without a waist belt is not going to be comfortable when fully loaded.

Quote from DesertCoyote :
In general I have found that to be true, also, on international RT flights from the USA to Asia. It depends on whether the airline is counting "personal items" or "carry-on" items. Recently on SWA I saw many people with their personal bag that was not going to go under their seats and no one was challenged. But, I think if you are pushing the rules you should be prepared if the gate agent requires you to do a baggage check with a carry on piece.

In general, I also agree with you. I travel often and have never had any airline check my carry on or personal item for size compliance. But Zip Air may do that. This summer I'll be flying with them for the very first time. They are a low budget airline (in terms of airfare) and charge extra for everything to make up for the low airfare. In addition to paying for meals and beverages, and checked baggage, you'll also have to pay extra if your carry on and personal item exceed their size and WEIGHT regulation. They sent me an email specifying the carry on and personal item sizes. Both items cannot exceed 7 Kg, about 15 lbs. I guess I'll find out soon how strict Zip Air is with their carry on policy. Fellow SD'ers can chime in if they've flown Zip Air before. Thx.

There are people on here that think $200 is a slickdeal for a backpack.

In your case the weight of your case is significant factor. I would go with a light weight collapsible back pack and gym bag.

Has anyone seen a decent pack that actually matches the common personal item size?

FWIW, I was just on a 4 hour flight sitting next a person in the center seat whose personal item would not go under the seat so she kept it between her legs. This had her legs spread way into my legroom and the leg space of the person on her other side. It made everyone very uncomfortable. Please don't be that person.
