Been waiting for this perfect wheeled backpack!

Years ago I had an idea for this wheeled backpack but never found one. This fits the bill perfectly. I'm older now and can't maneuver more than one suitcase at a time. And I don't like hauling a suitcase on city streets when overnighting. This backpack is the answer. And beautifully made. I'm totally enthusiastic.

Durable bag so far

Could be a perfect bag for some people. With wheels, collapsible pull bar, shoulder straps, numerous compartments. The only problem I have is I need a larger main compartment. And the space needed for all the other compartments intrude on the largest compartment. Wish I could configure it for my needs.

Recommend for fulltime students/nursing students etc!

I have had other regular back packs from Samsonite through my college years, and adore them and their quality! I have been looking for a wheeled backpack instead now because I started nursing school over a month ago and a regular book was not cutting it for me and my needs. I had been reading reviews etc. for multiple brands, but really wanted to stick with Samsonite! I saw other people were nursing students as well and purchased this one! And I am so glad I did now too! It's been over two weeks, I use it every single day! It's large, spacious, so many pockets and sturdy! Easy to roll, carry up steps by the single handle if needed and has back straps if you wanted to do that. I personally don't see me using the bookbag straps ever. I love it though. It's costly but even as a broke college student, it's worth it to protect your back! Recommend for anyone in programs requiring to carry books, laptop, clinical supplies etc!! #sweepstakes

Perfect for nursing students!

I was looking for a rolling backpack that was large enough to handle all of my nursing textbooks and then some. I found this Samsonite backpack and it is absolutely perfect. I can fit all of my textbooks in it as well as my MacBook Pro, snacks for class, a change of clothes, and so much more. It is high-quality and heavy-duty. The dimensions of the backpack are what sold me. It is 11" deep and most other comparable backpacks are usually only 8-9" deep. When I received the backpack I was pleasantly surprised that the dimensions of the bag were only one of the many pros about it. The only thing that could be better about the backpack would be a more sturdy handle. Other than that, this backpack is everything I was looking for and so much more! I would recommend it for any students that want to save their backs from the stresses of lugging around heavy textbooks.

Great backpack

This is a great bag. You can use it as a backpack if you are not carrying a lot of stuff; however, if you pack heavy items, you can easily pull out of the handle and use it as a carry-on bag. It is a bit heavy than I expected. Also, if you pack a lot of items, you may have trouble putting the bag into an overhead compartment in a flight.

Just what I was looking for

I was looking to replace a backpack that I have used for years as a aircraft carry on. The bag was still in good shape but I've grown tired of lugging it thru airport terminals that seem to go on for ever. I was reluctant to replace the backpack as the storage was great, along with various compartments. I continued to look for a similar backpack style that rolled, but no luck.... until I came across this Samsonite rolling backpack. Roughly the same dimensions, well made and it rolls.

Perfect pack, has everything

This will become my one and only travel bag. It has enough room for a weeks worth of clothes. The inside and outside compartments keep everything organized. It is the right size for carry-on so no checked bags(and additional fees) at the airport. Really like the use of wheels rather than toting on my back.

I have bought this product - again!

This is really a tough backpack. I completely wore out my old one between constantly being tossed into my vehicle and being picked by the extended handle when fully laden, it lasted well over 5 years. The best parts about this backpack are multiple pouches of ever size and the dual hydration holders. I especially like the small zippered pouch on top which is great for putting keys and other readily needed small items.

Happy with the Samsonite Tectonic 21" Wheeled Backpack

This backpack has a lot of room. I am currently using it with 6 Nursing text books, a binder and a notebook in the main section, stethoscope, penlight, pencils, pens, highlighters, lead, and erasers in the other compartments. I still have room to toss my jacket in as well as some snacks. The bottle holder on the very front holds the large water bottles nicely. The zippers move easily and have not become stuck. The wheels move nicely on any surface (I've used them on carpet, linoleum, wood, cement, and asphalt). The handle is a decent length; I don't feel like I'm bending over to grab it. I've not used it as an actual backpack and don't plan to. Overall, this is a decent rolling backpack.

Not a good/strong school bag

I bought this for my middle school son. The bag lools really nice and the wheels are smooth. The biggest disappointment is that this is not a good school bag. It sags in the front. The sides are too weak to support the weight on the front pockets (and we only place a few pens and pencils, nothing heavy). Also the inside does not have any sleeves or support to separate school stuff like binders and books. The bag is more like a duffle bag with nice wheels. We bought instead a second bag - I'm still trying to figure out how to return the 1 week used bag. The Sierra freewheel and that works great.
