The Best Carry-On Travel Backpacks

Kit Dillon

By Kit Dillon

Kit Dillon is a writer focused on bags and travel gear. He has worked for Wirecutter for a decade and lost count of the number of bags he has tested.

When you open up your favorite carry-on travel backpack, it should feel like you’re opening the door to a well-organized closet or sitting down at a clean desk, with everything in the right place and easy to reach.

This is your moment to center yourself, no matter how chaotic the journey.

What we considered

A 45-liter bag maximizes overhead space but can get heavy when fully packed; 35-liter bags tend to be more manageable.

A bag with a clamshell design opens like a book and is the easiest to pack, but a bag that opens traditionally tends to have more structure.

Ideally, a travel backpack has handles on all sides—especially the bottom—so you can pull it out of overhead bins or from under seats.

Some internal pockets are useful, but major organizing is better managed with packing cubes.

The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack and the larger Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L offer the best combination of features, quality, and durability. Both bags are exemplary carry-on travel backpacks that are designed for comfort, durability, and organization. Though these backpacks are great as companion bags for any trip, they’re designed to ultimately replace all of your other luggage and become your exclusive bag as you travel.

This style of packing is not for everyone, but once some people try it, they’re forever hooked. Finding the right bag is a personal choice, though, and no single bag will appeal to everyone. That’s why we also have picks that are great for people who travel for work , others that are designed to be carried over long distances , and a bag that’s basically luggage on your back .

The research

Why you should trust us, who this is for, best small carry-on bag for most situations: cotopaxi allpa 35l travel pack, best large bag for most situations: peak design travel backpack 45l, best mobile office: patagonia black hole mlc 45l, best bag for long journeys on foot: osprey farpoint 40 and fairview 40, best bag if you need a large suitcase on your back: tortuga travel backpack pro 40l, other good carry-on travel backpacks, how we picked and tested, the competition.

I’ve been covering aspects of luggage and travel bag design for Wirecutter for nearly a decade, and I have personally researched, tested, and compared hundreds of bags in that time. I personally try to do most of my travel with a single backpack, whenever possible. I spent nine months roaming around Hawaii with not much more than that, and I spent another six months nomadically couch-surfing in New York City.

I reached out to writers who specialize in traveling the world carrying everything they need in a single bag: Eytan Levy, the owner and operator of the Snarky Nomad travel website; James Feess, founder of The Savvy Backpacker ; and Sharon Gourlay, of the Where’s Sharon? travel website. I also spoke with moderators of Reddit’s r/onebag and r/heronebag forums, as well as with Chase Reeves, bag fanatic, reviewer, and owner of Matterful .

We researched and tested bags designed for those who want to travel light and stay flexible while flying, without the burden of checking luggage. For some people, the challenge of cutting down a packing list is intimidating. But if you can get past that initial hurdle, traveling with a single bag is a revelation. With fewer items, you have more time to concentrate on and appreciate the journey.

  • When you’re not loaded down by heavy luggage, it’s easy to remain more mobile. And it’s easier to adjust your plans mid-trip. If you’re willing to do laundry on the road, then one bag is all you need to travel indefinitely. At its heart, one-bag travel allows you to discover more—not just about the places you’re going but also about yourself and what you really need day to day.
  • Size and weight still matter. If you desire more creature comforts or more gear, or if you plan to be away for a long time across multiple climates, you’ll want a bigger travel backpack . These larger bags tend not to be carry-on-friendly, however, especially in Europe, so be prepared to check them.
  • No single backpack is perfect for everyone. Before you make any purchase, consider some basic points. How much can you carry? And where do you usually visit: the city or outback? Travel gear should feel like a welcome companion—there to support you when you need it but unobtrusive when you don’t.

45-liter bag vs. 35-liter bag

A graphic comparing the difference in capacity between a 45-liter and a 35-liter backpack.

Cotopaxi Allpa 35L

A versatile small pack for a week or a weekend.

This durable bag’s clamshell design makes it easy to organize your stuff. And due to its strap design, this bag can be worn on your back or carried in your hand while you’re on the move.

Buying Options

The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack is an easy-to-organize, comfortable-to-carry bag for getaways lasting just a few days or a whole week.

It’s one bag that can do it all. This is a great all-around bag for any traveler who’s dedicated to packing light, or for a smaller person who wants less to carry. There are handles on all four sides of this bag, so it’s easy to grab no matter where you’ve stowed it. It’s also protected by a full lifetime warranty, and it has the build quality to back that up. After more than four years of testing, this single backpack (plus a personal item ) has replaced nearly every travel bag or piece of luggage I use.

It comes in various sizes, but we think the middle-of-the-road version is the best. Cotopaxi also makes the Allpa in 28-liter and 42-liter sizes. But for us, the 35-liter bag is the best option. At 42 liters, this bag becomes heavy for most people to carry when it is fully packed, and we’d prefer that it had a more-robust hip belt. At 28 liters, the bag becomes a touch small for most people, and its internal organization feels fussy for shorter trips, such as an overnight. Cotopaxi also makes a hip pack , which is designed to fit snugly into the Allpa bag’s front top compartment. It’s a neat little addition to the bag, and it is worth getting if you like wearing fanny packs while you travel.

It’s organized, easy to pack, and easy to carry. The Allpa bag has a clamshell design, so it opens like a hard-sided suitcase—a large YKK zipper runs around three sides of the bag, allowing it to fall open into two halves when unzipped. On the right side is a deep compartment, spacious enough for two large packing cubes or half a suitcase’s worth of clothing (which you access through a mesh zippered flap). On the left, there’s space for one more medium-size packing cube behind a zippered flap. Above that there are two smaller pockets with high-visibility backing—useful when you’re looking for hard-to-differentiate personal items.

The packed Cotopaxi Allpa Travel Pack, shown fully open so that the contents are accessible.

It’s secure but still accessible. The Allpa pack has two side-access zippers—great for on-the-go access, especially when the bag is hanging from your shoulder. One of these reveals a flat computer pocket with a padded false bottom; so if you drop the bag, it won’t land on the corner of your computer. The other reveals a “secret” pocket with a hidden zipper and access to the main compartment. All of the main compartment zippers are protected by security loops, which you thread the zipper through at the end of its run. This prevents anyone from subtly or quickly grabbing a zipper and opening your bag when you aren’t paying attention.

It’s comfortable to carry. The Allpa bag’s hip belt—which can be removed while the bag is on your back—is substantial enough that it’s comfortable to wear when you need it. With or without the hip belt, the Allpa bag is comfortable to carry over long distances. However, folks who have longer torsos (over 19 inches) may find that the waist belt sits a little high off the hips, unless you fully extend the shoulder straps. Speaking of shoulder straps, unlike the ones on our other picks, the Allpa bag’s straps are contoured to fit people who have large or small chests. It’s not a specifically gendered design, but our female tester noticed the improvement right away.

The Allpa pack is made with 1680-denier ballistic nylon, similar to the Tom Bihn Aeronaut 45 . (Denier is a measure of a fabric’s fiber thickness.) It feels similar to a strong canvas, but it has a more prominent weave. This is the type of bag that’s as easy to toss into an overhead compartment as it is into the back of a rusty pickup truck. And it also includes a rainfly, which is unique in this category.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

  • Though this pack is well organized for packing, it’s less ideal as a mobile office. The Allpa pack has a minimal amount of administrative organization—places to keep pens and papers, spaces to hold tickets, and so forth. This is where a good personal item comes in handy. However, if you want to travel with just this one bag, there are a few nooks you can hide things in. The front organizer is deep enough that you can also fit several small organizing pouches, if you want, or the aforementioned fanny pack.
  • We prefer the model without the TPU front. Cotopaxi does enjoy playing around with fabrics and colors. Sometimes the company has released the Allpa pack without the TPU-lined front panel. The TPU panel improves water resistance, but after many years of traveling with our bag, we’ve found that the TPU layering can begin to flake in spots.

A person stands by a wooden fence outdoors while wearing the Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L, our larger pick for the best carry-on travel backpack.

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L

An easily customizable large bag for long trips and expensive gear.

This bag was built with photographers in mind. Yet most travelers will appreciate its easy accessibility, clever tuck-away straps, and the elegant way the bag expands and contracts. The accessory cubes cost extra, though.

The Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L is a good choice for those carrying more expensive gear—especially camera gear. It’s also great for those who prefer a large, backpack-based packing system.

One bag provides many configurations. Some bags in this category are built to do one thing extremely well—be carried on your back. But the Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L is built to adapt. It’s the Swiss Army knife of backpacks: adjustable, customizable, and (if you spring for the extra cubes and organizers) an almost perfect system for a photographer or gearhead on the move. Most bags’ expanding mechanisms aren’t worth the extra zipper they’re built on, and they look about as attractive as a boiled ham splitting out of its plastic packaging. That’s not the case with the Peak Design: This bag looks just as good fully packed at 45 liters as it does compressed to a 30-liter daypack.

It’s expandable, with clever folds and zippers. You can access the bag through a back panel (which doubles as a computer and tablet pouch) as well as a front one (if you unzip the pass-through divider). You can also get into the main compartment via two wing-like trapezoidal flaps, which run along each side of the pack. In its natural shape, the Travel Backpack holds 35 liters, but an expansion zipper lets the bag swell to 45 liters. If you want to use the bag as a daypack, you fold in the top corners and snap them down, reducing the bag’s volume to a slim 30 liters. In this configuration, it will still feel larger than a normal daypack, but we think that’s a small compromise for being able to use one backpack as both your travel bag and your daily explorer. The bag itself consists of 400-denier nylon and polyester fabrics. It feels tough but not as tough as some other bags we’ve tested, such as the Cotopaxi Allpa.

It has fold-away straps, for easier storage. The Peak Design lets you tuck its shoulder and hip straps away when you’re not using them. But unlike any other bag we’ve ever tested, this pack has magnetic flaps on the back panel that open and close with an almost magical snap. Once you’ve played with them, you’ll wonder why every backpack doesn’t have something similar. A small, childish part of me still gets excited about tucking away the straps when I put the Peak Design into an overhead bin. Although the straps are thin, they’re still comfortable. The hip belt isn’t quite as plush as the one on the Tortuga pack; still, even when the Peak Design is fully loaded, the belt doesn’t pinch or dig into the body.

It’s great for carrying expensive gear. If you travel with a camera, you don’t have to use Peak Design’s camera cubes , but they do make carrying that gear a whole lot easier. The cubes come in five sizes. And if they’re situated properly in the bag with the provided clips, they line up with the Travel Backpack’s side-access flaps for quick access. Caleigh Waldman (a photographer for this piece and, full disclosure, my spouse) took this bag across the country for a wedding shoot. “I want this backpack,” she said after three weeks of travel. “I want to travel with it everywhere. With my cameras. Without my cameras. It doesn’t matter. I want to travel with it.”

  • It’s expensive—especially if you commit to the entire system of packing and camera cubes.
  • More complexity means more things that can break. The adjustable design and multiple zippers do add complexity, and complexity adds potential weaknesses. Peak Design covers all of its bags with a lifetime warranty , which should alleviate most people’s concerns. But if you’re particularly hard on your gear and still need to carry as much as possible, you might consider the Tortuga bag instead.

Capacity: 45 liters Weight: 4½ pounds Main compartment access: back-panel loader Style: minimalist and unobtrusive Color: black, sage

The Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L, our also-great pick for the best carry-on travel backpack, is held in midair by a person wearing a plaid shirt.

Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L

Combines more organization with a simple interior.

This bag’s split interior makes organizing easy. Those who travel for work will appreciate this bag’s dedicated panels for organizing tech, books, papers, and assorted miscellaneous items.

May be out of stock

If you travel often for business and prefer a bag that’s much easier to work out of than most of our other picks, you may like the Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L . This bag has a front panel and assorted pockets that make it feel like a small traveling office.

It’s built like luggage but organized like your office. Of all the bags we recommend, the MLC (short for Maximum Legal Carry) comes closest to being a suitcase on your back, due to its large size, simple interior, and minimal external features. The MLC is also one of the simplest bags we tested, divided into two leaves (imagine a book with only one page), with a main compartment for packing and a second compartment for document organization and tech storage. The MLC has a built-in laptop compartment that fits 17-inch laptops and is situated close to your back; this protects the computer and keeps its weight closer to your body.

Despite its size, it’s comfortable enough to carry. Most carry-on backpacks of this size, without frames, become somewhat unwieldy when fully packed. Thankfully, the Black Hole MLC bag, like the Cotopaxi Allpa, is a welcome exception to this rule. The MLC has two shoulder straps, a hip belt, and an optional shoulder strap, for easy carrying. When they're not in use, or when you’re checking your bag, all of the straps can be stowed away easily. When fully loaded, the bag was pleasant to carry—not as comfortable as the Peak Design or the Osprey, but decent enough. I wouldn’t want to carry it all day across a city, but I wouldn’t mind carrying it through an airport to a car and to a hotel.

It’s built from high-quality materials, with durability in mind. This pack is made from recycled polyester, and the fabric is woven in a cross-weave that’s very similar to what Patagonia uses in its long-lasting Black Hole series of duffle bags . This is a material I’ve come across a bunch with Patagonia gear, and I’ve tested it thoroughly; it’s very tough. The front of the bag is coated in a weather-resistant TPU, for extra protection from the elements. The bag has large YKK zippers (the industry leader) and smaller YKK zippers throughout. Unlike the Cotopaxi Allpa pack, the Black Hole MLC bag has no security loops.

It comes with one of the best repair programs and a lifetime warranty. Similar to our other picks, the MLC is backed by an excellent lifetime warranty , and we’ve always found that Patagonia’s repair program goes above and beyond other comparable companies.

  • We wish the Maximum Legal Carry (despite the name) came in a few more sizes. The 45-liter capacity may be intimidating for some people, and there is no alternative.

Capacity: 45 liters Weight: 3 pounds 10 ounces Main compartment access: clamshell Style: retro Colors: tan, black, olive, green

The Osprey Farpoint/ Fairview 40 Travel Pack, one of our also-great picks for the best carry-on travel backpack, shown in black.

Osprey Farpoint 40

For long distances on foot.

A great starter option for one-bag travel, this bag is easy to pack, adaptable to most situations, and sturdy enough to take with you as you travel the world.

quality travel

Osprey Fairview 40

For long distances and smaller torsos.

A scaled-down version of the Farpoint, this bag has shoulder straps that are slightly lower, to keep the bag’s bulk more aligned with smaller torsos.

Updated in 2023, the Osprey Farpoint 40 and Fairview 40 packs are both built around a hiking backpack frame that’s easy to carry over long distances.

It’s built for travel but designed for hiking. The Farpoint 40 bag is well made, easy to pack, and comfortable to carry over most mid-length distances—such as walking across a city for an afternoon. (For simplicity’s sake, everything we say here about the Farpoint bag also applies to the Fairview bag.) Osprey makes excellent backpacks for hauling around, and its lifetime warranty is renowned within the industry . The Farpoint pack also has an optional messenger bag–style strap, which offers some flexibility when you’re maneuvering tight spaces like subways or crowded city centers.

View of the straps on the reverse of the Osprey travel backpack.

It’s simple to pack, but not as spacious as it seems. Opening the bag reveals a clamshell design; it’s deep enough to accommodate most large items, yet you won’t have to fumble awkwardly with zippers once it’s time to close up the bag. The feeling you get is not unlike when you’re packing a bit of sturdy luggage, and that’s something we love about bags like this one—especially when you use packing cubes . Osprey says this bag, when fully packed, can carry 40 liters. But after using the Farpoint bag for a few years, we’ve decided that its rounded shape seems to cut into that theoretical packable space more than other bags do. In practice, the Farpoint pack’s available space is closer to—but still less than—that of the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L .

It’s the easiest bag to carry among our picks. Like all Osprey bags, the Farpoint 40 has very comfortable shoulder straps. The years of design and consideration Osprey has put into its hiking backpacks are quite evident in the Farpoint 40. After more than seven years of long-term testing this bag, we’re still surprised by how great it feels to wear when fully packed. Crucially, the straps of the Farpoint 40 stow away neatly behind a zippered panel. However, when you’re using the shoulder straps, the design forces you to also use the hip straps. Though this isn’t a huge issue, if you prefer a sleeker look or would rather have the option of using shoulder straps without hip straps, the Cotopaxi Allpa pack is more flexible, and it lets you hide the waist straps while the bag is on your back.

The Fairview 40 has the same features, in a scaled-down size. The Farpoint 40 and the Fairview 40 packs basically have the same design, but the Fairview pack is made for someone with a more-diminutive torso. It’s also slightly lighter. However, it has the features and durability of the Farpoint bag. It also has the same hip belt and adjustability. On both, the chest-strap clip is also equipped with a small security whistle that’s surprisingly loud. It’s a handy feature for anyone traveling in unfamiliar environments.

  • For a smaller carry-on travel backpack, this one has little to not like. However, we do wish Osprey would trade some of the sleeker contours for a little more interior space.

Capacity: 35 liters Weight (Farpoint): 3 pounds 3 ounces Weight (Fairview): 3 pounds 2 ounces Main compartment access: front-panel loader Style: active Colors (Farpoint): green (Gopher), gray (Tunnel Vision), blue (Muted Space), black Colors (Fairview): blue (Winter Night), red (Zircon), blue (Night Jungle), black

The Tortuga Travel Backpack 40L, our also-great pick for the best carry-on travel backpack.

Tortuga Travel Backpack Pro 40L

A suitcase to carry on your back.

For dedicated single-bag travelers, this water-resistant, durable bag is easy to pack and to travel with. And it’s comfortable to wear over endless miles—as long as you don’t mind the heavier weight.

The Tortuga Travel Backpack Pro 40L maximizes packing space in a bag that’s durable, water-resistant, and customizable to fit most torso lengths (there’s also a 30L version ), with plenty of organizational features to suit any digital nomad.

It’s like a suitcase, with backpack straps. The Tortuga Travel Backpack Pro 40L is built to occupy the maximum carry-on space available. It’s a nearly perfect blend of backpack and luggage. On the outside, its tear-resistant sailcloth and sealed zippers provide ample protection from sharp objects and the elements. Opening the main clamshell zipper reveals a cavernous interior and a few organizational features that make the bag a cinch to pack. The front panel is a particular standout, great for keeping track of electronics and chargers. Of all the bags we tested, the Tortuga strikes the closest balance between the carrying comfort of a hiking backpack and the space and organization of a piece of luggage.

The Tortuga Backpack Pro shown with the front clamshell lid in the open position.

It’s as easy to pack as luggage. When it comes to packing, the Tortuga pack has a soothingly minimal interior, as any good suitcase should. In addition to the bag’s cavernous main pocket, its interior lid has a large vented panel. The panel is too narrow to hold additional packing cubes, but it’s great for holding light jackets or doubling as a dirty-laundry bag (if you’re really committed to one-bag travel). The Tortuga is available as a 40-liter pack (the maximum space for a carry-on bag), which we tested; there is also a 30-liter version, which is compliant with some intra-European flights. The more-diminutive version is a decent choice for weekend travel or for minimalist travelers—but for those uses, we prefer the space-saving profile and extra internal organization of the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L bag.

It’s very customizable. The Tortuga pack is the most adjustable model we tested, thanks to its adjustable torso length, shoulder straps, and waist-belt system. The adjustable strap system lets you manipulate the location of the shoulder straps (video) to fit a wider variety of body sizes, in both the 30- and 40-liter versions. Of the packs we’ve tested, this one (with its included load-adjuster straps at the top, to prevent the bag’s weight from sagging toward your lumbar region) is the best at distributing its weight (4½ pounds when empty—roughly 1½ pounds more than most of our other picks, except the Peak Design ). The hip straps are removable if you need, but the shoulder straps are not stowable.

  • Its straps don’t stow away. Some people, especially those who are hard on their gear, may consider not being able to remove or stow the shoulder straps (as they can with our other picks, like the Cotopaxi Allpa ) a disqualifying factor. But after years of testing, traveling with, and occasionally checking our bag, we haven’t had an issue. However, if these mysteries beneath the airport also make you nervous, you might prefer our picks with easy-to-stow straps, such as the Peak Design.
  • It's heavy. We’ve fielded complaints from some testers who said that older models of this bag were too heavy for them to carry, even with the padded hip belt and adjustable straps. The additional padding does add weight. At 4½ pounds, this latest Tortuga bag is more than half a pound lighter than it used to be (the difference is noticeable), and it weighs the same as the equally large Peak Design pack. We are currently testing a new, lighter, and less-expensive version of this pack—aptly named the Travel Backpack Lite 40L —and will report back soon.  In the meantime, if you think you would struggle carrying the Tortuga, we strenuously encourage you to consider one of our more-manageable picks, like the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L.

Capacity: 40 liters Weight: 4½ pounds Main compartment access: clamshell opening Style: minimal, with a rigid construction Color: black

If you want to travel like a backpacker but also fit in at a board meeting (and you have the budget for it): Consider the Tom Bihn Aeronaut 45 . This bag’s reputation for durability, adaptability, and a low-key aesthetic make it a favorite among many dedicated one-bag travelers. And after testing it, we think it’s a great bag too. That said, for the bag to really stand out against other backpacks—and to take full advantage of its carrying adaptability—you need to buy the internal frame , the hip belt , and (if you’re traveling with a suit or jacket) the shoulder strap . On a bag that already costs $330, all of this adds up. Everything about the Tom Bihn bag (the fabric, the zippers, the quality of construction) feels like an upgrade from other bags, but it’s simply too pricey, and its design is too rarified and specific for most people. The biggest flaw, from our perspective—apart from the price—is that the Tom Bihn bag lacks a dedicated laptop pocket. In its place, the company sells laptop sleeves (a fine version if you don’t have one) that clip into the bag’s central compartment. Not everyone needs a dedicated laptop pocket, but we prefer the more secure feeling of bags that do.

We’ve narrowed our specifications for a great bag to the following list of features, ordered from most relevant to least:

  • Front- or back-panel loader or clamshell opening, for the main compartment: As with any good piece of luggage, with this type of bag, you should be able to open it and see everything you’ve packed. When you have a bag with a panel-loading or clamshell design—rather than a traditional, top-opening design—you can pack and unpack it just as you would a suitcase.

A graphic illustrating a clamshell bag opening

  • Backpack strap comfort and design: You never know when you’ll be walking farther with your bag than you’d intended. The more comfortable and well designed the straps are, the easier traveling will be. “Ideally, you want a bag’s shoulder straps to adjust to the angle of your shoulders,” said Eytan Levy of Snarky Nomad. “Good shoulder straps are the difference between an easy trip and a hard trip.”
  • Hip-belt comfort and design: A hip belt transfers heavy loads from your back and shoulders onto your hips, letting your legs—not your back—bear the brunt of the weight. Just having a waist belt is a plus, but having a padded and sculpted one—especially on bags with over 40 liters of volume—makes a world of difference.
  • Material quality: Durability is critical for any type of luggage, but especially for a backpack that will be your only bag. Most bags worth considering are made of nylon, which resists abrasion more than polyester fabrics of similar density. Spending more, however, can get you exotic, light, and strong materials, such as Dyneema or sailcloth.
  • Weight: Once the bags arrived, we weighed each one ourselves. Most of the bags weighed within a few pounds of one another. But unless you’re very strict with yourself, by the time you’re packed for a two-week journey, all bags are going to feel equally massive, even if one is just 2 pounds heavier than another when empty.
  • Stowable straps: These are nice to have, but they aren’t absolutely necessary. “The more often you need to check a bag, the more often you need to hide away the straps,” Levy said. “But if the straps are tough enough, it doesn’t matter.”
  • Accessory pocket layout and design: Some people will love an accessory pocket that has a specific space for everything; others may find that feature constricting and unadaptable. We prioritized bags with simple designs that guided our packing without constraining us.
  • Style: This is purely subjective. We preferred bags that had a minimalist exterior style, but not all of our picks will please everyone. Most of the people we spoke with, however, preferred not to stick out like a tourist wearing a large, colorful backpack, if they could avoid it.

During testing, we flew across the country with these bags, took weekend trips to nearby cities, lived out of them on extended trips, and tried them locally in our daily routines. We also packed and unpacked each bag, using a standardized set of weeklong travel necessities and accessories, to see how well the internal organizational features (or lack thereof) aided or got in the way of efficient packing.

This is not a comprehensive list of all of the carry-on travel backpacks we have tested. We have removed any models that have been discontinued or that no longer meet our criteria.

The Away Outdoor Convertible Backpack 45L is a rare miss from the Away team. This bag is resoundingly average for the price. Although it’s made from excellent materials, the bag is let down by its overall design, which lacks any kind of structure or attention to comfort. There are better options.

The cheap, no-frills Cabin Max Metz bag is intriguing for the price. Any bag at this price should almost be considered disposable. That said, if you need a simple bag that costs less than a seat upgrade, this might be the way to go.

The GeniusPack Travel Backpack is the only model we came across that tried to fit a suit into a travel backpack. Though some people might need that, we think those who have to travel with a suit (or clothes that require pressing) would be better off with a piece of carry-on luggage . GeniusPack now offers a second version of this bag, but our conclusion hasn’t changed.

For certain people, the GoRuck GR3 is almost worth the cost. It’s strong and simple and covered by an iron-clad repair guarantee. The removable hip belt is comfortable to wear, and it’s good at displacing the weight of a 45-liter backpack. This is a decent bag. After testing it, however, we weren’t thrilled with the internal Velcro lining for compatible Velcro packing cubes. Velcro isn’t great: It wears out, it’s difficult to keep clean, and it clings to dirt. That might seem like a small thing, but for the price, this bag should feel perfect.

The Minaal Carry-On 2.0 was designed to be a backpack for business people. But if you’re carrying it for business, you’re probably wearing at least a blazer, so you wouldn’t use a backpack in any case. If you’re a business traveler who falls more on the casual end of the business-casual spectrum, and you’re not on a budget, this is a well-thought-out pack. But we think our picks are more versatile for world travel, and they come at a better price. Minaal has since introduced a 3.0 version of this bag ; our thoughts about it remain the same.

The Osprey Sojourn Porter 46L is a slightly larger sibling of the Farpoint pack. The Sojourn Porter bag is about 2 inches longer, and it pushes right up to most airline limits. If you don’t mind possibly having to check your bag at the last minute, this would be an excellent alternative to the Farpoint pack.

Is It Safe in Moscow?

quality travel

Stanislav Solntsev / Getty Images

When you visit Moscow , Russia, you’re seeing one of the world’s largest, and most expensive, capital cities . While there is a history of violent crime against foreign journalists and aid personnel in Russia, a trip to Moscow is usually safe for mainstream travelers. Most tourists in Moscow only face potential issues with petty crime, though terrorism is also a concern. Visitors should stick to the principal tourist areas and abide by the local security advice.

Travel Advisories

  • The U.S. Department of State urges travelers to avoid travel to Russia because of COVID-19 and to "exercise increased caution due to terrorism, harassment, and the arbitrary enforcement of local laws."  
  • Anyone exploring more of Russia should avoid "The North Caucasus, including Chechnya and Mount Elbrus, due to terrorism, kidnapping,   and   risk of civil unrest." Also, travelers should stay away from "Crimea due to Russia’s occupation of the Ukrainian territory   and   abuses by its occupying authorities."  
  • Canada states travelers should use a high degree of caution in Russia due to the threat of terrorism and crime.  

Is Moscow Dangerous?

The Moscow city center is typically safe. In general, the closer you are to the Kremlin , the better. Travelers mainly need to be aware of their surroundings and look out for petty crime. Be especially careful in tourist areas such as Arbat Street and crowded places like the Moscow Metro transit system. The suburbs are also generally fine, though it is advised to stay away from Maryino and Perovo districts.

Terrorism has occurred in the Moscow area, leading authorities to increase security measures. Be more careful at tourist and transportation hubs, places of worship, government buildings, schools, airports, crowds, open markets, and additional tourist sites.

Pickpockets and purse snatching happen often in Russia, perpetrated by groups of children and teenagers who distract tourists to get their wallets and credit cards. Beware of people asking you for help, who then trick you into their scheme. Don’t expect a backpack to be a safe bag bet; instead, invest in something that you can clutch close to your body or purchase a money belt . Always diversify, storing some money in a separate location so that if you are pickpocketed, you'll have cash elsewhere. Keep an eye out for thieves in public transportation, underground walkways, tourist spots, restaurants, hotel rooms and homes, restaurants, and markets.

Is Moscow Safe for Solo Travelers?

Large cities like Moscow in Russia are overall fairly safe if you are traveling alone, and the Moscow Metro public transit is a secure and easy way to get around. But it is still a good idea to follow basic precautions as in any destination. Avoid exploring alone at night, especially in bad areas. You may want to learn some basic Russian phrases or bring a dictionary, as many locals don't speak English. However, in case you need any help, there are tourist police that speak English. Also, exploring with other trusted travelers and locals or on professional tours is often a good way to feel safe.

Is Moscow Safe for Female Travelers?

Catcalling and street harassment are infrequent in Moscow and the rest of Russia and females traveling alone don't usually have problems. There are plenty of police officers on the streets as well. Still, it serves to stick to Moscow's well-lit, public areas, avoid solo night walks, and use your instincts. Women frequenting bars may take receive some friendly attention. Females can wear whatever they want, but those entering Orthodox churches will be required to cover up. Though women in Russia are independent, domestic violence and other inequality issues take place regularly.

Safety Tips for LGBTQ+ Travelers

Russia is not known as a gay-friendly country. However, Moscow is one of the more welcoming cities with a blooming LGBTQ+ community and many friendly restaurants, bars, clubs, and other venues. Hate crimes in Russia have increased since the 2013 anti-gay propaganda law. Openly LGBTQ+ tourists in this conservative country may experience homophobic remarks, discrimination, or even violence, especially if traveling with a partner. Also, while women hold hands or hug publicly—whether romantically involved or not—men should avoid public displays of affection to prevent being insulted or other issues.

Safety Tips for BIPOC Travelers

Moscow  and other big cities in Russia have sizable populations of various cultures, so discrimination against BIPOC travelers is rarer than in other parts of the country where it can become dangerous. Some people living in Russia who are Black, Asian, Jewish, and from other backgrounds have experienced racial discrimination and violence. Tourists won't usually experience overt racism but may be the recipients of some stares. If anyone should bother you, be polite and resist being taunted into physically defending yourself.

Safety Tips for Travelers

Travelers should consider the following general tips when visiting:

  • It's best not to drink the tap water. If you do, boil it before drinking, though showering is safe and the amount used to brush teeth is generally not harmful. Mineral water is widely drunk, especially at restaurants, and if you prefer not to have it carbonated ask for “ voda byez gaz” (water without gas).
  • If you need emergency assistance in case of fire, terrorism, medical issues, or more, dial 112 in Russia for bilingual operators.
  • Be judicious about taking photographs, especially of police or officials. This can potentially bring unwanted attention to yourself by members of law enforcement who won’t mind asking to see your passport. Also avoid snapping photos of official-looking buildings, such as embassies and government headquarters.
  • Carry your passport in as secure a manner as possible. If you get stopped for any reason by the police, they can fine or arrest you if you don't have the document with you. Also, keep photocopies of your passport, the page on which your travel visa appears, and any other documents that relate to your stay in Russia.
  • Use official taxis only and steer clear of illegal taxi companies, especially at night. Ask your hotel to call a reputable taxi company.

Travel Guide

Moscow's opulence and high culture is a sight to be seen. Forget what you learned about Russia in grade school. This lavish capital of a formerly communist nation has fully embraced the luxuries, excesses and decadence of Western capitalism. Like many former Soviet countries, Mother Russia struggles to successfully confront issues of widespread poverty, alcoholism, failing healthcare, and environmental protection. But Moscow has burgeoned into one of the most expensive, exclusive and largest travel destinations in the world. It comes complete with world-class museums, magnificent palaces, $1,000-a-night hotels, "face-control" nightclubs and internationally-renowned restaurants. Don't think you can afford Moscow? Don't be afraid. You can still find affordable deals if you are vigilant. This metropolis has a big and bold character and grandiose setting that's definitely worth getting to know.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14 review: A solid pick for professionals

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14 hero

Expert's Rating

  • Enjoyable keyboard
  • Standard active stylus
  • Plenty of physical connectivity
  • Good battery life
  • A bit thick for a 14-inch Windows 2-in-1
  • Anti-glare display could be brighter
  • Touchpad isn’t large
  • Modest CPU and integrated graphics performance

Our Verdict

The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 could be quicker, but it provides professionals a good keyboard, a touchscreen with an active stylus, and solid battery life at a reasonable price.

Want a Windows 2-in-1 for business and travel? Your first thoughts may drift towards Microsoft’s Surface or Lenovo’s ThinkPad line, but they’re not the only game in town. Acer’s TravelMate has long offered a more affordable alternative to the competition, and the TravelMate Spin P4 is a good example of what Acer can offer. It’s a bit boring but functional and it offers a wide range of features for the price.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Specs and features

The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 is a 14-inch 2-in-1 with specifications that are typical of the category. That includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U (the “U” is important, as it means the processor targets a lower power profile instead of performance), 16GB of memory, and integrated graphics.

  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 125U
  • Memory: 16GB LPDDR5
  • Graphics/GPU: Intel Arc integrated graphics
  • NPU: Intel AI Boost

  • Storage: 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 solid state storage
  • Webcam: 1080p 30fps camera with IR 3D camera for Windows Hello, physical privacy shutter
  • Connectivity: 2x USB-C 4, 1x HDMI, 2x USB-A 3.2, Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5mm combo audio
  • Networking: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3
  • Biometrics: Windows Hello facial recognition, fingerprint reader 
  • Battery capacity: 65 watt-hours
  • Dimensions: 12.9 x 9 x 0.9 inches
  • Weight: 3.26 pounds
  • MSRP: $1,329.99 MSRP (approximately $1,175 retail)

Many of the laptop’s more alluring features are found on its exterior. It has a 14-inch 16:10 touchscreen with an anti-glare coat, a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports, Ethernet, and two forms of biometric login. It also comes standard with an active stylus.

The Spin P4 is an enjoyable laptop with a good keyboard, plenty of physical connectivity, a bundled active stylus, and acceptable battery life.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Design and build quality

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin design

IDG / Matthew Smith

I doubt most people would give the Acer TravelMate Spin P4 a second glance. It’s a simple gunmetal slab entirely lacking notable texture or flair. Even the Acer logo is small. This is typical for business laptops, but competitors like Lenovo and Dell manage to deliver a more attractive design without drawing too much attention. These competitors look business-like and functional. The TravelMate Spin P4, by contrast, looks a bit cheap.

It’s also rather chunky for a Windows 2-in-1. The chassis measures nine-tenths of an inch thick and weighs 3.26 pounds. While neither figure is excessive, both are towards the upper end of the category. Dell’s Latitude 5350 is three-quarters of an inch thick, and Lenovo’s ThinkBook 14 is .66 inches thick. The TravelMate Spin P4’s size makes it difficult to hold and use when the display is folded 360 degrees to convert the 2-in-1 to a tablet. 

There are benefits to its size, however. The chassis feels rigid; even the display lid shows only the slightest hint of flex when lifted. Acer’s competitors also offer good build quality but, when comparably equipped, tend to be more expensive.

The chassis also provides room for a stylus that tucks into the TravelMate Spin P4 when not in use. This is an uncommon feature, as many Windows 2-in-1s instead choose to use a stylus that attaches magnetically to the exterior. The Spin P4’s design means you’re less likely to lose the stylus, as it’s always secure when stowed.

It also means the stylus is small, though, which might not work for larger users. I personally found it uncomfortable to use, as the end of the stylus barely extended from my closed palm when gripped.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Keyboard, trackpad

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin keyboard

The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 has a center-aligned keyboard without a numpad. The layout is spacious, as nearly all keys are close to their full size; the right-side Control and Tab keys are the most notable exception, though still large enough that they’re easy to find.

Typing feel is solid. The Spin P4’s girthy chassis offers room for long, robust key travel with a firm and clicky bottoming action. There’s a somewhat hollow quality to the sound of the keyboard that’s not ideal, but I was happy to overlook that given the springy, responsive action of the keys. I prefer this to the keyboards found on recent Dell Latitude laptops, and it’s competitive with Lenovo’s ThinkBook 2-in-1s.

A modest touchpad is found beneath the keyboard. It measures roughly five inches wide and three inches deep, which isn’t large for a touchpad in 2024, and can feel cramped when using more elaborate Windows multi-touch gestures like the five-finger pinch to minimize all open windows.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Display, audio

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin display

Of course, the Acer TravelMate Spin P4 also has a touchscreen, and it picks up some slack for the touchpad. The touchscreen is a fine alternative to the touchpad when scrolling through documents or pinching to zoom in (or out) of images and documents. Because the Spin P4 is a 14-inch 2-in-1, the display is close at hand and it’s not difficult to reach up to the touchscreen from a normal typing position.

The display’s 1920×1200 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio are typical for a modern Windows 2-in-1, but the Acer TravelMate Spin P4 has an anti-glare coat, which is less common. Some Dell Latitude or Lenovo ThinkPad 2-in-1s offer anti-glare touchscreens, but most laptops that target consumers (instead of business customers) don’t. The anti-glare coat means the display is easier to read in bright environments and suffers less under harsh direct lighting. However, its effectiveness is reduced by the display’s paltry maximum brightness of 362 nits. The display can look dim if used outdoors or near large sunlit windows.

That’s a bit of a problem because the display also fails to stand out in color performance, contrast, or refresh rate. It’s otherwise a decent but average 1200p display. It has a solid contrast ratio of 2770:1, a modest color gamut that covers up to 85 percent of DCI-P3, and a 60Hz refresh rate. There’s nothing wrong with it, but nothing right, either: it just does the job.

To be fair, though, the same can be said of Acer’s competitors. Shoppers looking for a higher display resolution or more exotic panel technology (like OLED or Mini-LED) generally need to step up to a more expensive tier like Dell’s Precision or Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 or opt for a consumer laptop, which may not have all the features buyers eyeing the Spin P4 want.

Audio performance also follows the trend of acceptable but forgettable performance. The Spin P4 has upward firing speakers. They’re clear and crisp when the device is used as a laptop, but their placement is not great when using the device as a tablet, as the user’s hands may cover the speakers. In either case, the speakers have modest maximum volume and not much range. They’re fine for podcasts and video calls, but not ideal for music or Netflix. 

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Webcam, microphone, biometrics

The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 has a 1080p webcam placed into its relatively large top display bezel. It provides good image quality for a webcam, with decent sharpness and color reproduction. The webcam also has a physical privacy shutter. A 1080p webcam is essentially the standard for business laptops in 2024, though, so the Spin P4 doesn’t have an edge here. 

The same is true of the microphone array: it captures good audio quality that’s well suited for video or voice calls on Zoom or Teams, but it’s not going to work well for recording videos or podcasts.

Biometric login is available through both Windows Hello facial recognition and a fingerprint reader placed on the power button. Both work well, though I often find facial recognition faster and more reliable than a fingerprint reader. The Spin P4 also supports human presence detection through Windows 11, meaning it can dim the display when you look away to conserve battery life, or reactivate the laptop from sleep when you approach it. 

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Connectivity

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin ports

Acer packs a good range of connectivity in the Acer TravelMate Spin P4. It has two Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4 ports, which support USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alternate Mode, but also two USB-A 3.2 ports, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. That is a broad range of connectivity for a modern Windows 2-in-1. The Ethernet port is especially notable, as numerous laptops have chosen to remove the Ethernet port over the last few years.

Wireless connectivity is less impressive, but still fine. The Spin P4 supports Wi-Fi 6E, which is a step behind the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard. While disappointing, Wi-Fi 7 is uncommon and you would need to own or connect to a Wi-Fi 7 router to see a benefit from it. The laptop also supports Bluetooth 5.3. The Spin P4 does not support cellular connectivity.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Performance

The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 has an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U processor. It’s important to understand that the “U” in the model name is significant. The “U” series targets a lower power profile than the “H” series.

The 125U has a total of 12 cores, but only two of those are performance cores. Eight are efficient cores, and the final two are low-power efficient cores. The processor also has a modest maximum Turbo frequency of 4.3 GHz. The processor was paired with 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 solid state drive.

Acer TravelMate PCMark results

The Spin P4 gets off to a modest start in PCMark 10, a general synthetic benchmark, as it reached a score towards the middle of the pack and almost exactly ties the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4, which also had an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U processor. It generally falls behind Intel Core Ultra 7 155H-powered machines, though it does defeat the HP Envy x360 14-inch.

Acer TravelMate Cinebench results

Cinebench R20, a heavily multithreaded CPU benchmark, reported a slightly more favorable result for the Spin P4. Here the laptop is closer to the middle of the pack, and it even defeats the HP Envy x360 14. However, the other two Intel Core Ultra 7 155H laptops still manage to significantly outperform the Spin P4 with each laptop at its default power settings.

Acer TravelMate Handbrake results

Next up is Handbrake, where we perform a real-world encoding test of a two-hour 1080p film from MP4 to MKV format. The Spin P4 did not perform well in this heavily multithread, long-duration test, though it did manage to beat the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4. 

Acer TravelMate 3DMark results

With the processor-centric benchmarks handled, we turn our attention to 3D performance. Here, again, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U has limitations. It does not offer Intel Arc graphics but instead the more limited Intel Graphics solution.

The performance downgrade is apparent in the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark. The Spin P4’s score of 1,728 is just half that of leaders like the Framework Laptop 13 and the Acer Swift Go 14. 

That makes a big difference in 3D games. Even older titles with less demanding graphics do not run well. I’ve recently enjoyed Battletech , a title developed by Unity and released in 2018. Despite its age, the game was playable but jittery even at 1080p and Low detail settings. 

Clearly, the Spin P4’s performance has its limits. But the same can be said of its direct competitors. The Acer trades blows with the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 and HP Envy x360 14-inch. And while we have not reviewed the current incarnation of the Dell Latitude 5350 2-in-1, it does come standard with the same Intel Core Ultra 5 125U processor, so I expect its performance would be in a similar range.

Strange though it may seem, entry-level business and prosumer 2-in-1s generally don’t place much importance on performance and instead sell themselves based on connectivity, biometrics, and functional design.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Battery life

The Acer Travelmate Spin P4 isn’t the thinnest or lightest 14-inch Windows 2-in-1, but it’s still portable enough that its weight becomes hard to notice in a typical backpack or messenger bag designed for a laptop of its size. It also has a 65 watt-hour battery, which is about average for the category, but enough to satisfy the power-sipping Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor.

Acer TravelMate battery life results

As a result, the Spin P4 endured almost 17 hours of our standard battery test, which loops a 4K file of the short film Tears of Steel . This is a light load test and the laptop is capable of chugging down a charge more quickly if processor-heavy apps are opened. In general, though, the laptop can easily handle an eight-hour day of mixed web browsing, productivity, and video.

The laptop is charged over USB-C and it ships with a 100-watt USB-C charger. That’s great, as it provides more versatility when charging the laptop. You could leave home with the charger provided with the laptop or pack a smaller third-party GaN charger. Most of the Spin P4’s competitors also charge over USB-C, but it remains a useful perk.

Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14: Conclusion

The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 is a decent pick for professionals and prosumers looking to buy a 14-inch Windows 2-in-1. Though not great for tablet use, it’s still an enjoyable laptop with a good keyboard, plenty of physical connectivity, a bundled active stylus, and acceptable battery life. It’s not very quick for the price and the display could be better. However, these flaws also tend to be found in price-competitive business laptops. The Spin P4 isn’t a laptop that will get anyone excited, but it gets the job done at a modest price.

Travel + Leisure / Morgan Ashley Parker

Building up a wardrobe of travel clothing can be a challenging process. Luckily, we tested a whopping 49 pairs of women’s travel pants so you don’t have to. From long-haul flights to commuting to the office , we thoroughly examined each pair of pants for qualities like comfort, durability, fit, and design to recommend the very best styles for every adventure. 

To test out a variety of styles, sizes, and colors, Travel + Leisure editors tried out trousers, leggings, joggers, cargo, wide-leg, and straight-leg pants to make sure we covered all of our bases when it came to style preferences. We researched and chose travel pants from trusted brands like Lululemon, Spanx, and Everlane, and wore them as often as we could during the multiweek testing period. Based on our results, we selected 12 pants that are stylish and comfortable, making them the perfect new addition to any travel wardrobe.

Best Overall

Spanx the perfect pant, slim straight.

Professional, sleek, and stylish, these pants look elevated, but are soft and cozy like sweatpants.

They are a bit dressier than other travel pants.

From the office to the airport, these comfortable slacks are the perfect pair of bottoms for a more elevated travel look. The best part of these pants is that they have the comfort of a pair of leggings thanks to the stretchy and soft rayon blend fabric, but the straight-leg design makes them incredibly versatile. The material is fairly thick, so they’re best suited to moderate temperatures and might be a bit too warm in hotter climates. With a high-waisted fit, the waistband is nice and stretchy while still feeling compressing and flattering thanks to the thicker fabric trim. We had some issues navigating the size chart, so if you’re in between sizes, you may want to order a size up in addition to your regular size and return the one that doesn’t fit (Spanx has a generous 90-day return policy).

The Details: XS-3XL (regular, petite, tall) | Rayon, elastane, polyester | No pockets

Best Wide-leg

Aritzia the effortless pant.

Sleek and flattering, these trousers are the perfect day-to-night pants.

The waistband has zero stretch or flexibility, which wasn't very comfortable for sitting for long periods.

I'm a huge fan of Aritzia when it comes to travel wardrobe staples, which includes the famous Effortless Pants. It took me a while to get on the trousers-for-travel bandwagon, but these pants are the only trousers I'll ever bring traveling. The fabric is premium looking and feeling, which makes me feel like a million bucks whether I wear the pants with a T-shirt or a going-out top. I now own the pants in four different colors, and I'm planning to invest in other bottoms from Aritzia's Effortless collection. My only slight gripe with the pants is that the waistband has next-to-no stretch at all, which can feel a tad restricting. Otherwise, the high-quality feel and durability of the pants make it worth the investment for a stylish outfit that requires minimal effort.

The Details: 00-16 | Recycled polyester, viscose, cotton, elastane | Pockets

Best Slim-leg

Aday turn it up pants.

The tapered leg is professional and flattering, and the fabric proved to be fully wrinkle-resistant.

The waistband could have a bit more stretch.

These tapered travel pants from Aday offer a flattering and elevated fit designed specifically for travelers. Lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant, the pants have all the features we love in bottoms for various occasions. To test the wrinkle-free claim, T+L's associate editorial director Morgan Ashley Parker crumpled up the pants and stuffed them into the depths of her suitcase to find that once she pulled them out, the pants looked exactly like they did without a wrinkle in sight. The size and length run true to size. and Parker only wished the pants had a more flexible waistband to get a stretchier fit. The pleats and tapered leg give the pants an elevated and elongating shape, so these are perfect for going into the office or traveling for business.

The Details: XS-XL | Tailored Stretch fabric | Wrinkle-resistant | Pockets

Best Wrinkle-resistant

Everlane pant.

The wrinkle-resistant fabric can withstand being packed in a suitcase for long periods of time. 

The pants have cropped legs. 

Packing clothing that’s prone to wrinkling can be difficult, so we love that the cotton blend fabric used to make these Everlane slacks is resistant to wrinkles. The fabric is soft and breathable but thick enough to wear in cooler temperatures, which is ideal for year-round traveling. While these pants run true to size, the waistband has a slight stretch to it, so we were plenty comfortable while wearing them for a 12-plus-hour day of traveling. After wearing them over a five-month period, the quality of the fabric and stitchwork never faltered or showed signs of pilling or fading. Plus, you can machine wash the pants and hang them to dry for easy cleaning. The only thing to note is that these come in a single cropped length, so if you’re tall, they may be extra cropped.

The Details: XXS-4XL | Cotton, modal, elastane | Wrinkle-resistant | Pockets 

Best Leggings

Lululemon wunder train high-rise tight with pockets.

The material is stretchy enough for all-day comfort without feeling restrictive.

The pants aren’t warm enough for cold weather. 

These buttery smooth leggings from Lululemon are made with a stretchy and cooling nylon material that’s warm enough for the airplane but plenty breathable for long days on your feet. They're also an excellent choice if you want hiking leggings to take on warm-weather adventures. The leggings come in a huge range of sizes and color options to choose from, and the high-rise waistband has enough give that it doesn’t squeeze or dig into the waist. Since the material is quite breathable, these pants might not be the warmest for cold-weather travel, but they will still keep your legs warm in moderate temperatures or if there’s a draft on the plane. The highlight of these leggings is the discreet side pockets that make it super easy to slip earbuds , a phone, passport, or an airplane ticket into the pocket for convenient access while traveling. And when you’re carrying cash or a credit card, there’s even a hidden pocket in the back of the waistband for additional storage.

The Details: 0-20 | Nylon, lycra | 23 and 25-inch lengths | High-rise | Side pockets

Best Joggers

Everlane jogger.

These classic joggers have the softest lining of any pants we've tested.

They only come in two colors.

Time and time again, you'll hear T+L editors say comfort is key for traveling, so we recommend these Everlane joggers for maximum comfort level. In fact, these are our all-time favorite women's joggers that we've ever tested. The fabric is so soft and plush, you'd be hard-pressed to find another pair of joggers that feel like you're wearing a cloud. Our favorite part of the pants is the interior lining that is hands-down the softest fabric we've ever touched. Plus, the elastic waistband offers the perfect amount of flexibility for sitting on long-haul flights or in the car for road trips, and the front-tie helps with adjusting the fit as needed. We wish the pants came in more than two colors (black and gray) so we could pick up more than just two pairs of the comfy joggers.

The Details: XXS-XL | Cotton, recycled polyester | Pockets

Quince 100 Percent European Linen Pants

They fit true to size and hug the body without feeling too clingy.

We wish the waistband had a drawstring for adjustability.

These 100 percent linen pants are the perfect choice for early flights or long days of sightseeing. The linen doesn't wrinkle nearly as much as we would expect so you can wear them while sitting for long periods of time or pack them in your suitcase without worry. The material is thick enough that you can't see undergarments through even the lighter colorways, yet these pants are still light and breezy. They also feature two side pockets and one back pocket so you can store all of the travel essentials you may want on-hand.

Throughout our months of testing, they did not show any signs of fading or piling, even after multiple washes. They even survived coming out of the dryer without shrinking in any way. These straight-leg pants hit just above the ankle, making them a fun choice to pair with sneakers, sandals, or even heels, depending on your day's itinerary. While we love the true-to-size fit of these linen pants, they do not have a drawstring at the waistband and tend to stretch out throughout the day, so we recommend sizing down if you're between sizes.

The Details: XS-XL | Flax linen | Two side pockets and one back pocket

Beyond Yoga City Chic Cargo Pant

There are numerous pockets to store a phone, wallet, or keys.

We found the pants to run a bit on the larger side.

These cargo pants from Beyond Yoga combine fashion and functionality, which makes them particularly great for traveling. The wide-leg shape and drapey lay of the fabric give the pants a trouser-like look, but the elastic waistband and plush polyester provide all the comfort T+L editor Taylor Fox looks for in a pair of pants fit for the airport. "These are some of the most comfortable, yet stylish pants I now have," Fox shares, adding that the pants are perfect for replacing yoga pants for the same level of comfort.

With four pockets in total, these pants have all the spots you could need to place a phone, wallet, passport, earbuds, keys, and more. The side hand pockets have zippers to safeguard your valuables to avoid lost or stolen items while traveling. Fox notes that the pants are slightly oversized in the waist (there is a tie belt to adjust the fit), but if you want a tighter fit, consider sizing down.

The Details: XS-XL | Polyester | Zipper pockets

Best Lightweight

Z supply farah pant.

Featherlight and flowy, these rayon- and linen-blend pants are ideal for warm-weather travel.

There were several loose threads and small snags in the fabric that we noticed during testing.

"These pants are so lightweight and flowy, I could seriously wear them all day and night, even when laying on the couch or sitting on a plane for hours," T+L editor Jackie Cucco says after testing the Z Supply Farah Pants. The rayon and linen fabric is breathable and soft, and the flowy drape of wide-leg pants looks effortless and chic with any top.

Whether Cucco was walking, sitting, or commuting to the office, the pants were comfortable and breathable for any occasion or length of time. The pants run true to size and thanks to an elastic waistband in the back, there is plenty of stretch in the high-waisted upper part of the pants. There are also belt-loops for when you want to style the pants differently or get a tighter fit. While the fabric feels high-quality for the most part, Cucco noticed some loose threads and minor snags in the fabric.

The Details: XS-XL | Rayon, linen | Pockets

Travel + Leisure / Jackie Cucco

Aviator Best Travel Jeans Relaxed

They look like a standard pair of jeans (with all the features, too), but the fabric is buttery soft like leggings.

The standard inseam is 34 inches, but the brand offers custom hemming.

You may not think that jeans comfortable for travel exist, but trust us when we say these ones from Aviator will change your mind. While they look like a typical pair of straight-leg jeans, they are made with a stretchy, soft cotton and Lycra blend that feels like wearing sweatpants. After wearing these jeans to the office, in a car for long periods, and lounging around the house, it was clear that these jeans are perfect for just about any activity. Besides the comfy material, we love that there are seven pockets throughout the pants — way more than a typical pair of jeans — including two zippered pockets for storing an ID or cash. The only thing to note is that the jeans come in a standard 34-inch inseam, but Aviator offers free hemming, so we recommend having the pants hemmed to your exact inseam for the perfect fit.

The Details: 24-36 | Cotton, Lycra | Slip and zipper pockets

Best Splurge

Frank & eileen murphy billion dollar pant.

The high-quality materials and effortlessly stylish design of these pants make them well worth the higher price point. 

The back pockets are just for show. 

Frequent travelers will appreciate the luxurious feel and effortless style that comes with wearing the Frank & Eileen Murphy Billion Dollar Pant. While the pants are certainly an investment due to the higher price, they exceeded our high expectations for the cost. The pants run true to size and are easy to slip on thanks to the silky-smooth fabric which has enough stretch so that mobility isn’t compromised. The tapered legs that crop at the ankles make it easy to pair these pants with sneakers for a casual look or heels for going out to a nice dinner on vacation. We love that the front pockets are big enough to hold a phone discreetly, but note that the back pockets are just for show. Apart from the stylish silhouette, these pants can be machine washed and air dried for hassle-free upkeep, and we feel confident the quality of the materials will hold up well over time.

The Details: XS-XL | Cotton, spandex | Midrise | Front pockets | Faux back pockets

Ripley Rader Black Ponte Knit Wide Leg Pant

Similar to leggings, these pants are made with next-to-skin fabric, but they are much more stylish thanks to the cropped flare bottom.

We noticed some slight pilling after washing them, so be sure to wash them by hand or dry clean only.

If you're looking for a pair of flare pants that feel like leggings but look more elevated, then these bottoms from Ripley Rader are the best option. T+L associate director Morgan Ashley Parker is an expert in traveling in comfort and style, and these pants passed her high standards for clothing fit for long-haul flights, walking to the office, and everything in between. The high-waisted fit is equally compressing and flexible as leggings and the cropped flare style was the best length for Parker's shorter stature (there is also a longer version of the pants, too). Thanks to the midweight fabric, these pants don't wrinkle easily and they are fully opaque so you'll never have to worry about accidental wardrobe malfunctions on the go. The fabric is a tad high-maintenance, so be sure to wash the pants by hand or have them dry cleaned to keep them in tip-top shape.

The Details: XS-4XL | Viscose, nylon | No pockets

Other Travel Pants We Liked

While the pants below scored highly, we ran into some slight issues during testing that knocked off a few points for quality and fit. However, we still felt they earned an honorable mention.

Abercrombie & Fitch YPB StudioSoft 7/8 Length Leggings : These leggings feel similar to the famous texture of Lululemon leggings, but we wish they had pockets for practical purposes.

Quince Ultra-stretch Ponte Straight Leg Pant : The material is thick and cozy, but we wish the waistband had a bit more compression to it for a more comfortable fit. 

SweatyRocks Women's Casual Wide Leg Trousers : These budget-friendly trousers are versatile enough to take you from the airport to the office, but we didn’t love the fake pockets.

We got our hands on 49 pairs of travel pants from notable clothing brands like Vuori, Lululemon, Athleta, and more to uncover the best styles for every type of trip. From leggings to trousers, we covered our bases by trying a variety of styles, colors, and sizes to get thorough testing insights on each pair of pants. 

Whether traveling by plane, train, or car, we wore the pants for hours on end to get a feel for their overall fit, quality, and comfort. After wearing them on long-haul flights, in the office, or on lengthy road trips over a five-month period, we noted if the pants ran true to size, remained comfortable for long periods of time, and held up after we washed them multiple times. In the end, our favorite pants for travel had the perfect balance of being breathable and warm, soft and cozy, and offered superior versatility no matter what kind of adventure you may need them for.

Tips for Buying Travel Pants

Opt for wrinkle-resistant materials.

Since your clothing will likely be tucked away in a suitcase at some point while traveling, it helps to get a pair of pants that have wrinkle-resistant qualities. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and elastane have anti-wrinkling properties, which make them excellent fabrics for traveling. Generally, materials like cotton, linen, and hemp are prone to wrinkling if they aren’t mixed with other synthetic fabrics. You’ll want to check the specifications while shopping for a pair of pants to see what the materials are and if they are made with any type of wrinkle-resistant treatment. However, a travel steamer can work wonders on the go.

Look for pockets

While not having pockets isn’t a deal-breaker by any means, pockets are helpful for conveniently accessing items on the go. Pockets can also be handy for tucking away valuables like credit cards, passports, and cash, especially if the pants offer zippers in discreet places. Some pants have more pockets than others, so be aware of the pocket situation before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is ultimately a personal preference, and we tested dozens of different styles to offer plenty of versatile options. Common comfy pants styles you might see in an airport include joggers, leggings, and sweatpants, but you’ll also see trousers and straight-leg pants for a more elevated (yet still comfortable) travel look. 

Travel pants can be made of all types of both synthetic and natural fibers. The most common materials you’ll see are polyester, cotton, nylon, spandex, elastane, and linen. Synthetic fabrics are better if you’re looking for a pair of wrinkle-resistant pants, and natural fibers are usually better for breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
