A wheeled backpack is two bags in one: at the airport and on the sidewalk you roll it, and on stairs, sand or the bus you lift it onto your back. The 34-liter The Trevik is built to carry-on size, with a telescopic handle, padded backpack straps that fold away and hide, and a built-in combination lock. The 50-liter The Nexorian Supreme and 55-liter Nexa Turbo are bigger, with padded compartments for 16 and 17 inch laptops. The wheels and handle add weight, so a bag like this weighs more than a regular backpack.
When a wheeled backpack is the better choice
When you fly with one bag and no suitcase, and need to carry a laptop, clothes and shoes. On wheels your shoulders rest all the way through the terminal, and when the ground gets rough you switch to your back. If you fly with a suitcase, a regular backpack with a strap that slides over the suitcase handle is lighter and slimmer, and there's a separate page for backpacks with a trolley strap.
What to check before you buy
Dimensions: The Trevik measures 48 x 33 x 22 cm (19 x 13 x 8.7 in), The Nexorian Supreme 53 x 34 x 28 cm and Nexa Turbo 52 x 34 x 27 cm. For a carry-on, check the size against your airline. Weight: The Trevik weighs 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), more than a regular backpack, because of the wheels and handle. Compartments: The Trevik has a separate compartment for shoes or wet gear, internal compression straps and a mesh divider, and Nexa Turbo has a built-in USB charging port.
Switching between rolling and carrying
On The Trevik the backpack straps fold away and hide, so they don't get in the way while you roll. When you reach stairs, push the handle in, pull out the straps and carry it on your back. The Nexorian Supreme is a backpack and trolley in one, with breathable straps and water and abrasion resistant fabric, and Nexa Turbo rolls on quiet wheels.
Frequently asked questions
Can a wheeled backpack go on the plane?
The Trevik is built to carry-on size, 48 x 33 x 22 cm. For the larger 50 and 55 liter models, check the dimensions with your airline before you fly.
How much does a wheeled backpack weigh?
More than a regular backpack, because it has wheels and a telescopic handle. The Trevik, for example, weighs 2.5 kg (5.5 lb). On wheels you barely feel it, but on a flight with a carry-on weight limit, take it into account.
Can I carry a wheeled backpack on my back?
Yes. All of them have shoulder straps, and on The Trevik they are padded and fold away out of sight while you roll.
Is there a wheeled backpack for a laptop?
Yes. The Trevik has a padded compartment for up to a 15.6-inch laptop, The Nexorian Supreme for a 16-inch laptop, and Nexa Turbo for up to 17 inches.
What's the difference between a wheeled backpack and a backpack with a trolley strap?
A wheeled backpack has its own wheels and handle and rolls by itself. A backpack with a trolley strap is a regular backpack that slides over a suitcase handle. The first suits travelers flying without a suitcase; the second is lighter and slimmer.
Is there a large wheeled backpack?
Yes. The 50-liter The Nexorian Supreme, water and abrasion resistant, and the 55-liter Nexa Turbo in water-resistant Oxford fabric, with quiet wheels.
