Perfect Personal Item

I just finished writing up a very long in depth review on the carry-on and now needed to add my review on the metro backpack!

Long story short, I wanted to find the perfect carry-on and personal item combo; a set that I could take on any airline and not have to worry about it fitting their sizing restrictions. The carry-on (regular) and Metro backpack fit exactly what I was looking for!

Unboxing the backpack i was so surprised how lightweight it is! Putting on the backpack felt so comfortable with the thick padded straps and the overall fitting. I am a 5’9 male and it definitely fit perfect for me. The compartments in this bag are never ending; organized to the brim! The way it fully opens allowing maximum packing is so ideal, why have I waited this long to buy a good backpack?! The snap module is very easy to use, a little more so when it’s not empty. Putting it back on is actually much quicker than I thought! I even tested it with my eyes closed and was able to take it off and put it back on in under 10 seconds. Having the snap module kit is perfect for my toiletry kit, a quick snap off at the airport for screening and back onto the bag. Makes it so going through security much easier than a TSA agent tearing through your entire bag to open a toiletry kit.

The inside is so smooth and accents are very well done. I ended up getting the black and grey to go along with our luggage colour choices. It fits perfectly in the carry on (regular) handle when fully extended,…

Top Notch Backpack

I was so excited to receive my Metro Backpack today after pre-ordering in November. I love my Monos Carry-On Plus in Mahogany so I ordered the backpack in Mahogany to match. I was very impressed that, like the suitcases, the backpack also came in its own dust bag as I wasn’t expecting that - a nice surprise! The backpack itself is light, extremely spacious, and feels sturdy. I really like the snap on the top handle of the bag so that it makes the zipper less accessible to others as you’re wearing it. The straps themselves also have a couple of loops that could be used to hang a water bottle or hand sanitizer. I love that the bag opens flat and the material inside is soft, definitely helping to protect a laptop during travel. The snap-off pouch is easy to use and has a detachable clasp on the inside that can be used to clip your keys to while traveling. This really makes me want to order the Metro Folio for longer travels. Overall, I’m super impressed with the quality and functionality of this backpack. Definitely no regrets with my purchase and I can hardly wait to take it on my next flight or even as an overnight bag on a local adventure.

Absolutely in love

This backpack is perfect for the commuter or traveler or student. The fact that it opens wide and makes everything easily accessible means so much. Not to mention that the vegan leather is absolutely soft and luxurious. I would highly recommend this backpack for its esthetic beauty and practical functionality.

The wait was worth it!

This is an incredible backpack. So many compartments and features. It is beautiful. I don’t think I could love a backpack more. I put a picture of a bonus feature. It has a key ring that snaps in and out. I literally just leave the key in the backpack always and i always know right where it is. No digging, no searching. So many fun and cool compartments. Very high quality. (And yes, I get so many compliments on this) thank you monos. Amazing!

I love my backpack!

So I have plenty of backpacks but none of them are this comfortable when wearing it. What i live the post is that it opens fulky down the middle. This backpack is huge! (In a good way) super stylish. I’ve received plenty compliments on it. My back is full to capacity and it’s not bulky. I still have room! I love the snap of the front pouch. I love how easily it slides on my carry on plus with the opening to the back.
