Vacuum Backpack – Personal Item Travel Bag, Skip Checked Bag Fees, Small or Large

Tired of paying to check a bag? This vacuum backpack lets you skip it. A first checked bag now costs about $40–$50 each way on most US airlines, so $80–$100 or more per round trip. Pump the air out of your packed clothes and 2–3 days of outfits fit in one personal item bag that goes under the seat. Skip the checked bag fee once and it has paid for itself.

Why travelers love it

• Skip the checked bag fee: pack it all in your free personal item instead.
• Book the cheapest fare: some basic fares only allow one small personal item. This personal item backpack is built for exactly that.
• Fits under the seat: an under seat bag that fits under the seat on most US airlines when not expanded.
• More room on the way home: an expandable travel backpack for the souvenirs (expanded, it may no longer fit under the seat).

How the vacuum compression works

• Zip your clothes into the compression compartment, then remove the air through the one-way valve with the pump. Holds about 18–20 pieces of light spring/autumn clothing when compressed.
• Choose your pump: manual or electric.
• The main zipper is made a little tight on purpose, to keep the vacuum seal.

Details

• Front pocket for your phone or a notebook, two side pockets for a water bottle, inner pockets for small items.
• Padded back, carry handle and chest strap.
• Colors: Black or Peacock Blue.
