What if you could fly through security and skip baggage claim? That’s exactly why I designed Tortuga backpacks, and in this video I break down the four main benefits of the Travel Backpack Lite 40L. First: it’s carry-on sized, so you can avoid baggage fees, waiting around at baggage claim forever, and worst of all, lost luggage. The Lite maxes out carry-on space on domestic and international airlines, with enough room to pack for a week or longer—and usually a little extra space for souvenirs. Next, I talk about packing and organization. Most people are used to disorganized hiking backpacks or messy suitcases that are impossible to pack, but the Lite is front-loading and opens like a book, so you can stay organized. The main compartment is big and flexible, there’s a padded fleece laptop sleeve (safe and ergonomic), two full-size water bottle pockets up front, and a vertical pocket that’s great for a Kindle—though I personally keep a lightweight jacket in there. Finally, I cover comfort and durability. Suitcases are cumbersome, terrible on staircases, and broken wheels make them useless. The Lite is comfortable because it’s only 3.2 lb, and the hip belt moves about 80% of the weight off your shoulders. It’s built with durable 630D Cordura, lockable YKK zippers, high-quality hardware, and it’s backed by our worldwide warranty for as long as you own your bag.
