What You're Actually Getting

This is a foldable rucksack built to hit the EasyJet 45 x 35 x 20 cm cabin allowance. It weighs 200 grams. That's less than a can of Coke. Samsonite slapped their name on it, which at this price feels almost cheeky, but honestly the reflective detailing looks tidy and it doesn't scream budget.

I've packed one of these types of bags for a weekend in Edinburgh. Shoved in a change of clothes, a wash bag, laptop, and a book. It held up fine. Nothing spectacular about the build, the zips are basic and the straps are padded just enough, but it does exactly what it says.

Who This Is For (and Who Should Skip It)

If you're a frequent flyer with a proper carry-on, this isn't your bag. The structure is soft, there's no frame, and don't expect it to hold shape when loaded. But if you travel a few times a year on budget airlines and want something that folds flat in a drawer until you need it, this is spot on.

At around £25 it's the kind of thing you buy so you stop paying Ryanair's extortionate bag fees. One avoided fee and it pays for itself.

One Honest Reservation

The lack of internal organisation is a bit annoying. One main compartment and a small front zip pocket. If you're the type who needs a dedicated laptop sleeve or a water bottle holder, you'll find it a touch frustrating. It's minimal by design, not by cleverness.

Still. For the price, the weight, and the use case? Not half bad at all.
