Does this bag meet European carry-on requirements of 22 x 14 x 7 when packed? Also is it comfortable for women to wear as a backpack?

The bag does not expand beyond its original measurements (not sure what those are off the top of my head, but check the details of the product for this info) when packed. It is very hard to over pack and cause it to expand, especially when you pack a large laptop. I've never used it as a backpack because I use it to carry school books that are heavy... which is the reason I bought a rolling backpack. However, my husband uses it as a carry on for business travel and absolutely loves it. If I ever use it for a carry on, instead of a backpack for school, I'd be comfortable wearing it as a backpack provided it wasn't too heavy. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure about the European carry-on requirements, but it felt pretty good when I wore it as a backpack. The best part was that it was a rainy day, so I didn't want to use it as a rolling bag, so I wore it on my back. It was quite comfortable and absolutely served its purpose.

Yes it is. I have travelled so far in many international flights including Europe and US and I always had the bag as carry on with no problem.Actually it is a bit bigger than 17' laptop case with the plus that you can put a lot of items. Watch out the weight

Hi Sue! I strongly suggest the TETON Sports Scout3400. It's the perfect size for a carry on so long as you don't over-stuff it. In fact, that's one of the things I like about it so much. You pack it to fit within the carry-on restrictions and then you have a little extra room for things that you purchase along the way. If you check out the 100's of reviews, you'll note that many talk about using it as a carry-on. Anytime you get over 100 reviews with the vast majority being 4 and 5 stars, you know you have a winner. I love mine (green) and my husband loves his (orange). I'm 5'4" and he's 5'10". Have a blast in Europe!

It's light enough but It's awfully big. You would almost need a full length backpack to fit it in. It's 22x12x2 inches. For travel I would go to a similar tray thst was closer to 16-18. " overall length

Each strap measures 24" long. I just tried carrying it on my shoulder and found that it is fine if the top of the bag is snugly closed. If the bag is full and open to its fullest extent on the top, carrying it over the shoulder would probably not be comfortable. The bag is not fabric - it is made of some kind of plastic - or "plastic polyester." I really like the design - and I got it for a probable one-time use for a convention I am going to. It has a heavy zipper in the top. I really like it for what I plan to use it for. I just read the other three comments - and found that one person's bag is still going strong over 6 months of use . . . that's great to know! Maybe I'll go to another convention! : ) Each strap measures 24" long. I just tried carrying it on my shoulder and found that it is fine if the top of the bag is snugly closed.

The backpack is big enough. It will be used in a ride over Europe on May 2014. Then I can help with more comments about the quality and onther experiences.

Hi. I travelled on several international airlines with this bag as a carryon and never had any problem with the size. However, I don't know about the US domestic airlines. Varies. Dont think it should be a problem. Still, I would double check on that. Hope that helps.

the bag I have is 14x14.5x6 it does expand a bit for odd shapes but I try not to overload. I have 2 of these and love them. I use them for shopping and as a cooler for over night stays at a hotel.

Yes. It's about the same size as my carry on. Just don't pack it to tight in the outside pockets.

The answer to this is... it depends... It will work fine as a carry DEPENDING on how much you pack in to it. It you stuff it as full as it will stretch, it might be a bit too large. But if you're packing for a two day trip or something like that, I would think you'd be fine...

Looking at it from the side:MAIN - seam to seam - 7-71/2 inchesTop to Bottom - 15 1/2FRONT POUCH - 10 x 3 inchesWidth at back - tapers from 8 to 10 1/2 inches, top to bottomStraps - 2 3/4 wide. 1/2 thickSo, H-D-W would be approximately 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 8 -10 1/2 (tapered). Hope this helps. It is a great bag. Cover the grommet holes with Gorilla tape on the inside to reduce dust and possible water and spray it all with waterproofing. I have the tan/khaki, but you may want to consider black if you're travelling overseas.

I did not notice this detail when I bought it. I can say that the Bag is ig enough for my personal needs. I live in a country that "thinks" in centimeters not in inches so I cannot measure it to give you the real size and capacity.

Yes, it is very comfortable. You can also carry odds and ends in addition to your camera. The more you use it the more uses you will realize. It is a great bag. It is a well made unit with very strong material. I am very happy with this bag.

Hi Emmy, it is smaller than a lot of the handbags I've seen. If your not carrying an obvious "purse" I think they would just let it go as your purse. I really love mine for travel.

Did u try it as carry on? I want to carry my All IN One 22.5 " as carry on, hope it doesn't get rejected as the baggage size now is 22" limit, but the other 2 dimensions are very small, so i hope all goes well...
