Is this bag fully compliant with U.S. carry-on size / weight restrictions?

Technically yes. Although you will find that it is about 1/2 inch too long to fit into the overheads on many planes. Jetblue is fine, but I have had trouble on United with their 757s 737s and of course any smaller commuter plane. It will fit into the overhead sideways, but then you are more likely to get into a situation where you will have to check it. You would be much better off getting the airport takeoff as it is a newly designed bag and is slightly smaller. I use my bigger airport security for non air travel and when I fly, I use the takeoff. It always fits, and in a pinch will even squeeze under the seat. Technically yes. Although you will find that it is about 1/2 inch too long to fit into the overheads on many planes.

From reading the Think Tank website, my understanding, it is compliant with size restrictions. As for weight, it depends on what you pack.

It is suppossed to be, but my experience now is that it is too big for some airplanes. I love this bag, really super excellent, but now Im thinking I will have to get a smaller one because several times now I have ended up carrying my RED-One camera body in my hands and stuffing other expensive stuff I was carrying in this bag into my smaller compuer bag. This have happened when the airplanes are rather small ones. Also, it is very easy to fill this one with so much stuff that ends up being super heavy. So I would advice you got a smaller version of the think tank bag.

Yes, but some smaller aircraft will require you to gate check this bag. I went to Russia and back with the bag weighing nearly 50 pounds and didn't have any issues until a commuter hop where I had to gate check. It was fine.

Barely , but it will on full-sized planes. Not on the small regional jets. I keep canvas grocery bags in those cases and pull the cameras with lenses out.

while some US-Canadian airlines have different regulations, in general it does. I have never had an issue with boarding this bag as a carry-on. (never mind that I tell the airport staff, if I check it, then they are responsible for 10,000+ worth of equipment.) That does not mean that you will not have to gate check your bag as some regional jets do not have the overhead to handle a bag of this size. Also note the bag is not compliant with many non north american airlines carry on bag restrictions.

The pack fit into every carry-on baggage check I encountered. I had no issues at Heathrow, which is a stickler for carry-on compliance.

It does meet TSA requirements. I've been to 4 airports domestically and haven't had any issues. This is a great bag, it fits a lot of items.

I would say yes. I purchased this bag for a day pack use while I was in backcontry of Yosemite. It was also my carry on for the flight out and had all my rock climbing gear (cams,nuts and a rope about 25 lbs). It's lightweight and really handy.

It will fit in the overhead, but it is not exempt from being a carry on bag

Absolutely. I have carried it on over 30 flights in the last year. Never a problem.

In my opinion, this bag would be an appropriate size for a carry on. I would use it as such. I don't have the exact dimensions but, as it's soft sided, I'm not sure that the measurements would be overly helpful to you. I can only speak to US domestic flights as I have limited experience with international travel.

Its not oversized. Period. Ive traveled with it. As long as its weight is within limits, most airlines will take it.

Not really. I believe that airline carry-ons should be no longer than 22" and this is 26" with a semi-hard bottom. I don't think this bag is designed to be a carryon.

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...

Honestly, I don't know. The specs for the bag are shown, or I would check with the manufacturer.

I've never flown, so I couldn't answer that question. I've used this bag to carry boxing equipment, baseball equipment, and clothing/shoes. It's pretty big.

it's about the size of a medium backpack. i used it as my second carry-on. with the top folded over properly, and almost full, it was about a foot in diameter and maybe 18" long (cylindrical tube shape). so, yes. it qualifies.

It is fine on regular flights (in USA & Canada). I believe it is advertised as their largest that fits standard size restrictions. I took it as carry-on on one trip, fit nicely in overhead bin.
446753
Yes. Though I think it is about 2 inches longer/taller than the recommended carry - on luggage size, but I've used it as carry - on a few times without any problem

Having done a fair amount of flying, I can tell you it would probably fit but it is too large to be considered a "carry on". If the pack was only half full and you were able to compress the bag then it might work.

I bought this bag for my girlfriend. She has carried it on certain airlines that use bigger aircraft. Some of the regional airlines do not have room in the overhead bins, but you should be able to gate check it. Also, when I bought it, I am almost certain that it said that it was carry-on approved. Maybe some of the requirements have changed.
