Heat because it reminds me of Boba Fett

The words 'Cabin Max Carry-on Backpack for Ryanair / Easyjet' is a very misleading because it implies that the bag is sized to the maximum for the airlines. It's guaranteed to fly with Easyjet & Ryannair only because it's well undersized compared to the companies allowable limits!
This bag is 50 x 40 x 20cm = 40 litres. That's is 5 litres short of Ryannairs 56 x 40 x 20cm = 45 litres, and a whopping 23 litres short of Easyjets 56 x 45 x 25cm = 63 litres limit.
The Trekbuddy is only 1 litre short of the ryannair limit at 55 x 40 x 20cm = 44litres.
Much depends on the actual measurements because some bags are labelled larger than they really are, many claiming 40cm wide when they are actually only 36cm.
I have a trekbuddy that's about 3 years old for £9.99 from home bargains. Between the family it's done 26 flights with no issues other than the lack of zips on the internal pockets. One benefit of the trekbuddy over the capital is that because the external pocket zips are straight across on the capital, it's difficult to put your documents in/out without damage when well packed, whilst the trekbuddys pocket is curved and will fold back making document access much easier.

hideous

Looks good thanks. Have ordered one green and one blue (black now OOS).

Use code: CABINMAX5 to get them for £14.25 each.

Does anyone know these compare to the HomeBargains Trek Buddy?

Does the company actually think someone will but that lol?

I'm one of them lol. There is no real comparison imo. I've hammered a cabin max over the years and it's still going strong. Can't say the same about the 2 x Trek buddy which I bought enthusiastically and binned soon after - fell apart.

We have three of these. great bags

I have a cabin max bag, which I love, but was once charged as apparently it was too big for an Easyjet flight from Spain (Even though it was fine on the way out!) So just double check before you stuff it with holiday souvenirs!!

Thanks, ordered two for the kids! :smiley:

nice ordered thanks. will do for upcoming trip away!

All look childish, but the yellow one would make you look mentally stunted.

Heat though, useful and cheap.

heat op, good find

Good deal but shame about the colours a bit bright for my taste

Can anyone tell me how rigid are these? Would it be possible to squash it down to 32 x 40 x 20 so it can be used on Wizzair too? It would be nice to have one bag that can be used at max sizes for all airlines.

I'll be probably one of hundreds that will be carrying the same make and colour bag into a Ryanair plane! :wink:

The blue looks nice IMO

I have a "boring" black one, excellent product.

You would look like the ambulance service carrying the green one!

Are these a special price or the regular price?

Also heat added. Who is / was this fella ? Some adventurer ?

Anybody know if the TrekBuddy in home bargains is a continually stocked item?

Need one to suit Wizz Air.. 42 x 32 x 25cm :disappointed:

I have two of these. The quality is good but there are some faults in the product. The customer service is TERRIBLE!
I bought two (1 black and 1 blue). When they arrived, there was a substantial difference in size. To the point where filling it to full capacity would mean it was over the allowed dimension size for RyanAir. I emailed the company with photos which clearly showed it was a different size and they dismissed this straight away. Secondly, these are just big rucksacks - they have a large main compartment with no straps inside, so if you fill them full with clothes and put them on your back, all your clothes will crush to the bottom (creases!!) and will make it uncomfortable to carry.
I would never buy again!!!!

at the end of the day they are a cheap solution to maximising carry on allowance on cheap airlines

two top tips for this typoe of use - use a bag appropriate to teh amount of stuff you are carrying and use packing cubes / packing bags ..... tehy weight almost nothing and keep clothes in shape - and always roll clothes, don't fold them

as far as C/S is concerned - my order has shipped already and they have answered my question as to who the courier is within minutes !

Been many years since I used to back pack all over the place but I used to pile t shirts/shirts flat on top of each other, then 'fold in' the sleeves, then roll the whole pile up so you have...well....a 'roll' of shirts. That way if your careful = less creases when you 'unroll' at your destination.
Mind you that was with a ruck sack, these bags are a lot smaller.

I have a all black Cabin Max backpack and have used it on over 20 Ryanair flights. It is excellent as it allows you to make full use of your weight restriction cabin luggage as it is very lightweight compared to wheeled cases etc. One thing I would say though is that carrying a full 10kg on your back is hard work and putting it in an overhead locker no mean fete. If you are late for a connection, running with 10kg on your shoulders is a killer.

Makes it less than a bargain at £20 postage!

Your right, it was showing £20 to Ireland. Thankfully we have ways around extortionate postage costs.

well mine turned up today

just done a quick test

one pair trousers, three shirts, four t-shirts, 2 polo shirts, a cardi, and hoodie a light windcheater, pair of shoes, toilettes and fours sets undies plus a DSLR and 2 lenses and my chromebook plus chargers

all inside the Ryanair 55cm x 40cm x 20cm limits and weighs in at 9.2 kg

that should do for a long weekend break or even a week away

and nobody will miss me in the airport and the bag can be spotted at 400m :smiley:

EliTom

Just a 400mm lens? :smiley:

Nice post, ours turned-up today, nice bags! Will get lots of kids stuff in them for w/e's away! They also love the colours....

I got my two yesterday. Seem good for £14 odd each.

I think im gonna have them permanently packed and ready to go and then we might start taking advantage of some of these last minute cheap flights that keep cropping up on here!

Cheers OP

Ordered a blue one and they sent me a green one :0( . They want me to pay return postage for the wrong one!

They have agreed to pay the return postage and will send me a blue one once they have received it.

Still the same price! Bargain

disgusting when I opened it today. got two pairs of socks inside! holes and smells!

tempted, but wish its was the 55cm version as heading to the states for a month with just a backback

Perhaps you should have gone to school!

and learned how to take over 10 months to come up with a cutting reply?
