Trekrite in-Transit Rucksack/Backpack/Soft Luggage Protector

Purchased this for 70L rucksack, was slightly concerned it would not be big enough but fits perfectly. Material is not very thick but has now survived an internal UK flight and international to NZ, with no rips to material and zips working, so has performed perfectly. Lightweight enough to fold into its own small cover, which can be easily stored in backpack top pocket, when not required. Overall, good value and pleased with purchase.

I used this to protect my duffle bag when I flew to Kenya. It survived both flights without rips and my bag inside looks good as new. It zips open from the end so is a bit of effort getting a bag inside, but does mean that even if the zip were to come undone my bag would still have stayed inside the cover. There's a detachable shoulder strap which I removed for the flight and shoved inside the case, and then used to transport my bag to and from the airports. It's not the most comfortable thing but does the job. There's also a small handle on the same side as the shoulder strap so you can lift the bag without needing it on your shoulder, which is good for the luggage labels to be put around. The straps were able to support 18kg of weight, but did look a little strained so I wouldn't use it for a long time for heavier bags.

Material is thicker than expected for the price. Can be a little tricky to get a 70 litre rucksack into the opening-we found it easiest to stand the rucksack up and then pull the protector down, over the rucksack, making sure the zip of the protector is at the bottom of the rucksack for ease when removing the protector. The shoulder strap makes carrying the rucksack easier although it is much more difficult to carry the rucksack in this way-our advice is to wait until you’re about to ‘check in’ the rucksack at the airport before placing the rucksack into the protector. However, the rucksack came off the five plane journeys totally unscathed, thanks to the protector!

This was perfect for protecting a large 70L rucksack during the flight. It kept everything safe and allowed me to add walking poles without worrying about losing them.

Got these mainly for keeping the straps and buckles of our rucksacks from getting caught up in the baggage handling at airports. The extra water protection and fact you can lock them to deter an opportunistic thief is key. There are dozens of these on Amazon as Im sure you’ve seen. This version is OK. The seams are sturdy and stitching is pretty good, but the material needs to be thicker. One of ours got a small rip (baggage handling at airport) the first time we used it. A bit of gaffer tape patched it up.

Purchased for my teenage son who was backpacking in Croatia. He had about a 50ltr pack with sleep mats etc attached on the outside. Purchased this to put the pack and other stuff in for the flight out and back. Feels very thin but did the job no damage to it or the pack it was protecting. I did tell my son to take the shoulder strap off when it was checked in. But he is a teenager they never listen but strap survived. It easily fits back in its little carry case when not in use. Ideal for back packs but would make a good spare bag if going on an overseas trip with lots of shopping in mind.

Despite being advertised as extra heavy duty, the item was delivered with a ripped seam. Hugely disappointed. Item was returned.

Travelling to Nepal, I wanted to keep my large and day packs, with roll mat and sleeping bag, safe in transit. This worked a treat. It held all of the above securely, although it was a bit awkward to carry by the small handle( I didnt take the shoulder strap).It survived the trip without any damage. I was very happy for the price!
