Maxlite 5 Softside Lightweight Underseat Carry-On Travel Tote, Overnight Weekender Bag

I’ve had this bag for about seven years, and it has been around the world (literally) with me several times. It’s big enough to hold a pair of my US size 14 shoes and a couple sets of clothes and small essentials, but still fits easily under the airplane seat. I try to avoid checking bags at the airport, and this one pairs nicely with my larger overhead carry-on roller. I’ve found Travelpro bags to be very durable, with good materials, zippers, etc.

I am planning on taking a two week long trip to Russia. I am flying economy on Finnair and am allowed one carry-on that can be US domestic size as far as measurements go, but it is limited in weight to 17.5 pounds. I do also do not want to check a bag as I have a tight connecting flight, and I do not want to arrive without my luggage. Anyway, I have been playing around with a few bags I have. This one will work perfect as my travel bag. I fit the following items inside: Two pairs of men's 31x32 jeans folded in main compartment 9 pairs of men's medium boxer briefs and three pairs of medium lightweight running shorts in a small Suited Nomad compression cube 6 XL T-shirts and 2 XL polo shirts in two large Suited Nomad compression cubes. My quart size bag of liquids and travel adapter fit in the large side pocket, and I only put a cell phone charging cable in the large front pocket. Both of the front pockets which were still accessible. My bag was also not bulged in any direction and maintained its true measurements. The measurements of the bag are also 16" long x 11" tall x 8" deep which I believe are different than advertised specs. My bag also weighed about 14 pounds which is well below the 17.5 pound weight limit imposed by Finnair. Since my bag is so small, I will carry one pair of my running shoes in an extra Eagle Creek Shoe Sac attached to exterior of the bag on the long shoulder strap. I am impressed with how much stuff I was able to pack inside of this bag while maintaining such a low weight. As of yet, I have never used this bag for travel, and I am not sure how much room will be under an airline sea for those who want to use it as a personal item. This bag is well built, has plenty of organization, is lightweight, has numerous carry options, and is sized to specs. This should be a great addition for domestic airline travel or for those who have serious luggage restrictions.

Love this bag. This is a sturdy bag with a good amount of space for a weekend getaway or to carry onto an airplane. I bought this specifically as a carryon for an airplane trip. The carry on I had used to fall off my roller suitcase all the time and it made me crazy. This one does not. The only negative is that it didn't fit well under the seat in front of me. I expected it to do that but it seems they changed the seats since my last flight and they were so low to the floor that it stuck out. It was sticking out but I hid it from the flight attendants. (don't tell on me!). I used this bag as a weekend bag because it seems like it has so much room for 2 days full of my stuff. I especially like the longer strap for carrying it on my shoulder. I used to have Travelpro luggage back in the day, so I trust this brand to be well made and long lasting. Would have liked other color options but I got the "pinkish' one. Sort of mauve. Not really an issue in buying the bag.

I recently purchased this Lightweight Travel Tote as a gift for my family, and here's my detailed review: The pink color of the tote is cute and stylish, making it an appealing choice for both travel and everyday use. Its vibrant hue adds a touch of fun and personality, ensuring it stands out in a crowd. The tote fits perfectly under the seat on an airline, making it an ideal carry-on option. Its compact size and lightweight design make it convenient for travel, whether for a quick overnight trip or as a personal item on a flight. The versatility of the tote allows for various uses, from a travel bag to an everyday tote. The tote is designed to last for years. Its high-quality materials and sturdy construction ensure that it can withstand the rigors of travel and regular use. This durability makes it a reliable and long-lasting gift for my family.

I bought this bag in January 2019 and have traveled internationally with it several times since then. Pros: the bag itself is well made with quality materials and zippers. I like the pockets. They have fit what I needed to with enough organization but without so many pockets that the pockets themselves take up too much room. The bag holds a lot for its size. I use it as an under the seat bag, and pack it so that if forced to gatecheck my roll aboard bag, I'll be ok for a few days. I include 1-2 changes of clothes (no shoes), macbook air, a folder of work papers, toiletries, makeup, chargers, kindle, headphones, snacks, a scarf, and probably a few other small things and it holds it all, no problem. The bag itself is very light when empty. The only thing I don't like about the bag is that when you put it on top of the TravelPro Luggage Maxlite 5, it has a tendency to tip over. I therefore tended to carry it on my shoulder at least some of the time. I am petite. When packed as described above, this was pretty uncomfortable. I tried making sure my heavier items were in the back and bottom of the bag but this did not help much. I will keep the bag. It is a good bag. However, for my upcoming 2 week international work trip I am purchasing a backpack as my under the seat bag. The amount of tipping was too much for me and I want my hands free.

I decided to purchase this item because I wanted a day to day tote that was like a duffle bag but more sturdy...something that would be soft yet hold it's own shape while sitting on the floor amd be smaller than a gym duffle and sort of stiffer. This is a great small duffle type bag. It can be utilized as an easy under the seat carry on but it can also be used as a work tote, Mom tote, car bag...you name it. I use it for my day to day travels as I need to have several things with me such as snacks, thermos, reading material, extra phone chargers, cosmetic bag...it holds it all and with still maintaining a light weight. I do have the travelpro luggage which I love. Specifically the carryon rolling bag and this bag fits right on top of it. It is soft but I dont find it unbalanced in any way. The most important feature for me was the inside open space design. Like an open concept feature. I love popping open the lid and being able to see what I have in all one spot. There is a zippered portion for your small items or perhaps your wallet and then a large duffle type open section which is light plaid so you can plainly see everything. The zippers cam be locked as well! I use little pouches to tuck my items away so I just grab the appropriate pouch for my charger or cosmetics etc. The side has a zippered part which is great for quick access to a fairly large pocket and the front has 2 zippered lengthwise pockets which is good for a small calendar or passport or tickets. As for what I am able to put in the bag...just about anything. Its deep enough for my water bottle and thermos to sit upright, and I have several books, gel pens, and things to occupy my time while on a plane or waiting area. It rides on my shoulder nicely or I can carry it by padded handles. The bag can be lifted by your pinky finger when empty so YOU are in control now heavy you make it. Would I walk through Italy with it...ha...no because I wouldn't need things to occupy my time. I would use a close to the body secure purse with just the essentials and keep the bag in my hotel room. But for everywhere else it's small convenient and perfect. The rose is like a light lavender. A dusty rose lavender shall we say. It's perfect. For a guy I would go with the darker color but my travelpro luggage is purple and this bag is a nice accent. So dont assume it's just for luggage. It's not. Use it every day and keep everything in one place. Another note. I stay in a lot of hotels and have had fire alarms go off in the middle of the night. Having 1 bag with all my important things is what I grab on the way out. If you have a purse, a work tote, a non essentials bags...etc...its disorganized. This bag will hold it all including a smaller laptop. So pack it and go!! 5 stars. The zippers are a bit stiff because the seams are tougher in the effect of making the bag stand on it's own. The only drawback is no metal footsies on the bottom. This is nice in a way as it can pass for something other than luggage since it doesnt scream "luggage", but be careful where you put it down as it will be sitting directly on the bottom of the bag. Dont put on yucky floor. However the fabric is tough and water resistant and stain resistant so it will be ok if you use good judgment. In the picture it's not as big as it seems on top the luggage. My angle was off so it looks bigger. It's nice and compact. Actually it is 16 inches not 18. You can see the softness of the item but when you sit it down the walls of the bag hold their own that's what I like as I was using a floppy tote purse and when opened it kinds of flops down like a wet noodle. I like having the bag open and not having my stuff flop out.

This bag holds a lot of stuff and is very durable even though it’s lightweight. The material and quality is A1 and is definitely a value for your money.

Nice small carry on that holds the basics. I enjoy Travelpro luggage, sturdy, not heavy, has back strap to slip over larger luggage handle.

Absolutely recommended, a very useful and practical companion on my trips. Have had countless trips with it, very sturdy. TravelPro any day!

The bag is very spacious and handy for work or travel.

Match the Travelpro Maxlite 5-Softside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage - 21 inch carry on when placed over and can move together. The side pocket is good for passport and other temporary storage items. There are two front pockets in the front.

Quality product. Perfect for weekend getaways.

color in rose-mauve-pink is beautiful and elegant for a Ladies carry-on travel bag. There is an appropriate amount of space and separate zip compartments. Very nice zippers and zipper-guide/grip at finger tips. Functional and comfortable shoulder-strap and good handles. This bag is also nicely lined, with durable lining, that is looks/feels water resistant, nice feature to have if anything spills inside our outside of the bag. The fabric is thick and strong and makes for good protection from exterior weather and environments. I would highly recommend to a friend, and already received positive complements. The original price and sold at the Hudson's Bay for a couple hundred extra dollars, so I got mine for a steal of a deal in my opinion as I wouldn't have been able to afford at full price. With that in mind I also ordered a TravelPro Black - Tech bag, all black, has amazing quality and even better compartments and functionality, I am so impressed and happy about these purchases! I got the back back for around $130, originally $400! I hope everyone gets the Sale and same quality and experience I am having. The straps are gel padded and lined very nice comfortable. all around 10 out of 10's .. for the first Month, and I travel regularly for work, I will see how these last through out the yea and hopefully contribute another follow up comment. But I am sure these will hold up. I look forward to more sales and Deals like this, I am switched to Travel Pro luggage lines from here on out, as long as the quality and sales run right for me. :D
