Durable enough to use as a checked bag while travelling?

No. The bottles would not be protected enough . You would have to put the case inside a larger suitcase in between clothes for it to be really safe.

I purchased this as a carry on for my granddaughter. I would not subject it to the abuse that checked luggage receives. It is small enough to go under the seat in front or in the overheard compartment.

Absolutely! that's actually exactly what I use it for. It protects it very well and the bag it's self is very light and durable.

I'm sure they are durable enough, however they are somewhat bulky. Compact 'backpacking' binoculars might be a better choice for your saddlebags.

Yes the mesh cargo compartment underneath the stroller is very durable. I've crammed many shopping bags, blankets, my purse etc. into in while shopping!!! Should do the job for you!!! Good Luck!!!

I have flown a few times using this bag as a purse, in addition to a carry on item. No problems so far!

I have owned 3 of these bags since the early 80ʻs they are well built and stand up to much abuse and can handle heavy weightOne bag has seen well over a million miles of air travel. The velcro however does wear out after a bit.

absolutely! of course, with normal and repetitive use, the bag just might get the signs of normal wear and tear, but I'm confident it'll hang tough. if not, the company has a SUPER return policy. the owner will reach out to you personally to make sure you're satisfied. where else can you get a guarantee like that!?! you've got nothing to lose.

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

It is surprisingly durable. I am very rough with my gear and tend to over-stuff. I used this bag daily for an entire semester, as well as weekend trips and the only issue I've had is that one of the buttons has come loose. It is very well made and very durable.

I carted this backpack around for two weeks in Scotland in August and it held up very well. It was stuffed in overhead bins, dragged along airport floors, crammed in the overcrowded trunk of the car, and did a good job keeping my stuff from getting mangled. The only thing was it has so many different pockets and nooks to hold things I sometimes had a difficult time remembering where I'd stored a particular item. When full, it also doesn't fit under an airplane seat, so you'll want to make sure it gets a spot overhead.

I'd say xlarge might not make it thru for carry ons, but good for checking baggage

Yes, its durable. I through my phone in my purse a lot and it has held up. It doesn't offer much protection as a OutterBox would, but I don't think it was designed to. It's very pretty.

I use the bag to store my tablet between business trips but do not actually travel with the bag so I cannot speak to its durability. It's a very attractive bag and it has just the right number of pockets and sleeves for all my tablet accessories.

Yes, I carry it in my backpack all the time. I have not really dropped it deliberately to test it. I think it should be able to withstand minor accidental drops.

I took this bag on a 5 week trip and had a bunch of clothes, computer, and extra shoes in it. I did not have a problem with space or with straps ripping, but it was not carried for long periods of time. It usually was thrown in a van with everyone else's bags. It felt sturdy.

Hello Jarrad. I have traveled with it now for some months. It is fairly durable. It's a little bulky for my comfort and doesn't sit on my hips too well (5'3" 120 lbs) . But, should do the job fairly well.
