In our test, we packed 3 shirts, two pants, a jacket, a pair of shoes, and a toiletry bag in each bag and had extra space for more clothes. Many backpacks come with a computer compartment, but you should make sure this feature is included before you buy yours.

Carry-on length restrictions vary by airline and a backpack may not be compatible within certain limits. Most bags will have a product detail section that highlights the dimensions of the backpack. If you need to place the bag only under the seat, you can check that the bag matches the dimensions once packed.
