Your review is pretty accurate. I have the 18" version loaded for a 3-week trip to Europe with plenty of extra space. The weight is under 14 lbs. I wore it for over an hour on my back. Around 45 mins it starts to get uncomfortable. The key is to keep the weight down and know the pack is meant to be worn for short distances. My only other nit-pick would be the internal elastic compression strap which will wear out over time. Other than that, the pack is well designed for one-bag travel.
Good info, thanks! Yeah I think if you're walking a lot with this the smaller bag is better. Bigger I wouldn't like to carry it around too far. It's fine for casual travel or drop off hotel, but not all day. The small bag I wore all day several times and it was fine.
Thanks for the review. I purchased the 18" version a couple of weeks ago as a personal item when I want a larger personal item than what I usually carry. I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but am pleased so far with the features and quality for the price.
Great video as always. Price sensitive travellers tend also to be price sensitive bag buyers! Sometime a comparison between other bags at this end of the market you have reviewed like Decathalon's Quechua would be good.
Hey! I have a Cabin Max backpack but I find it very uncomfortable in the bottom (never happened to me before), doesn't have a handle on the side and doesn't have straps to tight it. Most of the time I only have half od the backpack full (for 2 or 3 days) so everything falls inside the backpack. I was considering to but this one instead, more organization, staps, handle.... Do you recommend it?
@@OneBagTravels yes, it is based on dimensions [also weight... at least for international flights which are the ones I tend to take] . For many years I have been allowed one 40 l or less carry on and one 14 L or less personal item (under seat). The dimensions determine the capacity.
I really appreciate you reviewing bags for regular people and not just top of the line gear for maximum sales commissions.
I do what I can 😁

Nice, glad to hear you like it so far.
I can totally see Rick Steves carrying around these bags... such a classic travel bag design!
Very Rick Steves-esque
Great Video. Thank you for your content of reviewing this EcoHub bag.

That'd be a good comparison.
Fantastic review!
Thank you kindly!
This is a good option for new travelers! Looks so much better than the Amazon’s viral backpack!
I actually saw an Ecohub at the airport in Las Vegas! I do see a lot of those Amazon bags though as well
they are kind of decathlon vibe. nice review,thanks!
Thanks, as always!

Ecohub is decently comfortable but doesn't have much structure, may be more comfortable than the Cabin Max though if you don't like that one.
@OneBagTravels thanks
Please do review Matein 45 liter please!
I've reviewed the Matein backpack but not the larger one
Upadate on the osprey 26+6 ?
Just got back, I'll post something soon
14 L is personal item size
Depends on the airline
Personal item size is a dimension, not a capacity. And it's usually more like 20-25 liters depending on the airline.
