Carry-on 3.0

Very happy with my Carry on 3.0! It’s my new essential for all trips. It feels incredibly durable and comfortable, and the capacity is a huge bonus. Thanks to its smart, slim design, I can skip baggage claim and avoid the awkward worry of being 'tipped-up like a turtle' you get with other packs. Highly recommend for stress-free travel.

After waffling for weeks and trying several other travel bags, I finally decided to pull the trigger and give the 3.0 Carry-on Bag a shot—and it is, by far, my favorite of the bunch. The material and build quality are extremely high, it looks super sleek even when fully packed, is very comfortable, and has been an absolute joy to use. Couldn't be happier with this bag and I'm super excited to travel with it more!

Some additional notes for potential buyers:

1). I personally feel that the hip belt (sold separately) is an absolute must. This is a 35L bag and can be quite stressful on the shoulders without it. I was lucky enough to get the hip straps as part of a bundle deal for the same price as the base bag itself, which made everything more than worth the money spent.

2). The bag packs very differently compared to other clamshell designs and basically makes packing cubes a necessity. Granted, folks shopping for a premium travel bag like this are probably already using packing cubes, but it’s still worth calling out. In any case, after getting used to it, I found that this bag packs better than any other I’ve ever used. Again, if you can get the Minaal packing cubes as part of a bundle deal, it’s totally worth it!

I was impressed at the amount of items I packed into the carry-on. The second area housed my laptop and iPad securely and easily accessible.

I love everything about this bag, including the fit, the weight except 1 esthetic and 1 functionality that I find annoying without taking much away from this lifetime bag. I am not an expert; but coming from functional ordinary Osprey I can honestly say that this bundle waist belt and the material are not practical.The waistbelt needs more room to carry stuff- the extension cuts on my waist after a long day. The outer material needs brushing off lent every day- annoying, but not enough to return.

I love it very much and the customer service has been outstanding! Thank you for existing.

What can I say? If you're looking at this, you're considering it. My biggest mistake was hesitating and only buying 1 bag bundle and having to ask the incredible customer service for help to get a deal on the other bag and gear. Love the team at Minaal, so quick to help with anything
