Carry-on 3.0 Bag
This is the best Minaal yet—the little details make all the difference. I own the 1.0, have gifted the 2.0, and now have the 3.0. Basically they fixed the little annoyances and upgraded things I didn't know I wanted. They upgraded the laptop harness and makes it accessible from either direction. The passport hidden pocket has spoiled me. And don't get me started on those zippers—my original have taken eight years of abuse with never a tear nor a problem. Bottom line: the 3.0 is worth it.
Seriously glad I found this bag! I've been travelling non-stop for the past year to over 10 countries and this has come with everywhere without complaining on being shoved into tight spots, dropped onto pavements/rocks/dusty floors, and overloaded (gotta bring back gifts!).
The pockets are cleverly designed, and there always seems to be a little extra nook that you can take advantage of.
I love the laptop section and that I don't need to worry about it smashing to pieces. I love the hidden pocket on the back where I can keep extra money, passport, and other valuables (please don't rob me!).
I'll admit I was a little hesitant to purchase at first due to the price but I'm so happy I did because this truly feels like a bag for life (not-withstanding their incredible life-time guarantee).
Bravo minaal team, truly stellar product!
Have been using the carry-on 3.0 for a few trips now and appreciate the bag more and more each trip. I use the bag as part of 1 or 2 bag travel for family trips, so need to stash multiple electronics, toiletry bags and clothing items. I use packing cubes and It took me 2 trips to get the organization sorted for quick access of specific items. Have it dailed in now and love the fact that I can cover the straps with the zipped up cover and quickly pull out the rain cover for the front to have the whole bag protected during transport. When using it stored under the seat, I dont use the rain cover and still have quick access to the top stow pocket and main compartment through top access. Everything on the bag feels bulletproof and built to last. In addition, the team at Minaal followed up on my order and to make sure it got there in time for a trip I had planned. Highly recommend the bag and company :)
This is my second Minaal backpack (lost the first one) and I’m totally loving it. This time however I was absolutely blown away with the company service:
I ordered a new one before the trip to Europe, but due to a shipping delay, my bag wasn’t coming before the trip. In just a few emails guys offered to send me another one to my destination. Super responsive and helpful. ❤️
I love my Minaal 3.0 Bag. The thing I love about it most is the safety for my laptop and iPad. I need to carry those for work, and they are my most treasured travel items, and it is reassuring to know they are protected.
Got the full boat… Its like a magic trick how much I can get in the carry on bag. Packed out vs my Peak Design bag…dont get it!
Slimmer sleeker and lighter. Comfortable and laptop solution is next level. Customer service was excellent too! Highly recommend especially if flying airlines that are strict on carry on weight.
Would like to see garment folder maybe in dyneema? Just trying to save more weight lol.
Very Happy with my purchases.

Real talk: the best bag for the environment is the one that lasts the longest. That’s why using recycled yarn for our new Picton™ fabric wasn’t enough – it also had to give new meaning to ‘tough’.

“I went through several bags before finding Minaal. It's absolutely the best bag I've ever owned. It looks great, it feels great, and it lasts through anything. I love the suspended laptop holder – now there's no need to travel with an extra case for my laptop!”

Comfort, yes. Bulk? Never.
We rebuilt from the inside out to create our new Unified Harness™. Same streamlined size, fewer resources used – yet even more comfortable, for a wider range of humans.
Soft & strong.
Re-engineered, multi-layered EVA foam in the Unified Harness now runs flush to the edge of each strap, giving your shoulders a flexible and forgiving fit.
Some things are worth protecting.
"I love risking my $2000 laptop every time I step out the front door,"
said no one, ever.
Peace of mind. Now even easier.
You carry your office everywhere you go, so our patented DeviceNest™ protects everything you can’t afford to lose, by suspending your devices away from exposed edges.
Accessing your devices from the top and side of your bag is now even easier, with wider entry points in both directions – meaning no need to trade safety for speed.

We’re merciless with bag features. If it doesn’t actively help you, if it doesn’t reduce friction from your life – it’s not worth carrying.
With up to 16 possible configurations, the DeviceNest promises a snug fit – even if you change up the size of your next laptop. It’s how we build gear for the long term.
Rain is not the enemy.
Most companies want to charge you extra for a rain cover, or they make performance compromises by using one fabric that tries to do everything. No bueno. The 3.0 comes bundled with a featherweight, seam-sealed, detachable rain cover that packs into itself – no strings attached.
A hideout for your passport.
If you’ve ever been frustrated finding the perfect spot for your passport or valuables – this one’s for you. The 3.0 features our new secret pocket, seamlessly integrated into the back panel.
Near-impossible for anyone else to access when you're on the move – but sling the bag around one shoulder, and your valuables are at your fingertips.
Break free.
Glide on by – the Carry-on 3.0 cuts the friction from every journey.
Open wide. From all angles.
The Carry-on's main compartment opens flat, to be easily packed – and unpacked – like a suitcase. Internal pockets are 3D-shaped to give extra volume and versatility.
270-degree zippers mean 270-degree access, without digging past layers of the stuff you’re *not* looking for.
For your office, too.
The separated device compartment also lies flat, and the DeviceNest, document sleeve, and pen pocket keep you sorted. Because life comes at you from all angles, the DeviceNest takes both top *and* side entry.
Did someone say ‘aerodynamic’?
Hide the shoulder straps in seconds, for a more streamlined look – then, the foam-padded carry handles and Shoulder Sling accessory glide you past the fumbling hordes.
“The Carry-On is the bag I've been searching for... for 8 years! It's the perfect combo of capacity & organization. Even fully packed out, it's the most comfortable carry I've ever experienced. I can explore a city all day with the 2.0 on my back, and it feels like I'm carrying nothing!"

All this.
Without all that.
You might be thinking: ugh, all those features are going to be heavy.
We say: do you even know us?
Light carry weight is critical for staying in flow. So we streamlined internal structure and reduced material consumption, to ensure the Carry-on stayed featherweight.
