Can I use the bag as a carry-on?Updated 18 hours ago

Pakt bags are thoughtfully engineered to make travel seamless and that includes staying within airline carry-on guidelines. Whether you’re a light packer or heading out on a longer adventure, there’s a carry-on compliant option for every kind of traveler.

Before flying, always check your specific airline’s size limits (especially for international carriers), but rest assured: Pakt bags are built to travel. 

Here’s a breakdown of some of Pakt’s most popular bags and how they measure up when it comes to carry-on and personal item compliance:
