Without a doubt the best backpack I've ever owned. I've used it both as a boot bag and as a travel pack and it's excelled at both. Very roomy central pocket that fits my ski boots perfectly or enough clothes to last for a week. Separate compartment that can be accessed in two ways that fits my laptop plus other flat things like books. I bought the pack that attaches to the top, very handy for stuff that requires quick access during a trip (passports, wallet, spare battery pack, charging cords, etc.). The thoughtfulness of the design shines through in so many details and in the quality of construction. Can't say enough good things. Well worth the money.
Käydä® Travel Backpack
Description
Käydä Travel Backpack 44L
Our award-winning Käydä is the most versatile backpack to support you on any adventure. The multifunctional backpack is also an intuitive travel system, making the idea of one bag travel a complete reality. The spacious, 44L main compartment makes packing up your clothing, boots, goggles, and other adventure gear a breeze.
Instantly enhance your carry-on game, as the Käydä is designed to fit in the overhead bin of nearly all US and international airlines. Plus, it converts into a carry-on ski and snowboard travel boot bag, so you can keep your snow sport essentials with you at all times and leave your worries of lost luggage in the past. Or, for the non-snow travelers, utilize this bag for weekend getaways, hiking trips, and European adventures, as the features will surely get you to your final destination with maximum efficiency.
The spacious Travel Backpack is loaded with pockets for every purpose, including passport/wallet security pockets, protective laptop sleeve, an external dual-purpose helmet/jacket sling, luggage pass-through straps, and a magnetic water bottle holder. Not to mention the comfort factor, as the Ergonomic Back panel Carry Design, Breathable Comfort Contoured Shoulder Straps, and Detachable Waist Belt make trekking through the airport a breeze.
But the real magic happens when you detach the Käydä Travel System. In seconds, the system separates into two ample storage bags, the main Travel Backpack and the separate Travel Kit, so you can prioritize organization and security for all your essentials - from a tablet and backup battery to books, cords, snacks, keys, and pens. Plus, the Travel Kit is cleverly designed for use with the Käydä Cross-body Sling, sold separately.
Elevate your travel experience even more by adding in the Kaamos Boot Packing Cube, the ultimate solution for keeping ski and snowboard boots organized, protected, and clean. The medium cube fits perfectly within the Käydä 44L, so just place it into your bag, and prepare for organization overload.

Use And Care Instructions
General Use
The Käydä is designed and manufactured to function as a carry-on backpack. Although we cannot guarantee that every airline will for every airplane permit it to be carried-on, we have gone to great lengths to meet as many airline carry-on requirements as possible.
Helmet Sling
How to Use: Remove the sling from its zippered pocket located on the front of the bag and attach it to the two surface mounted buckles on the top of the bag. Slide the helmet into the sling with the front of the helmet pointing downwards. Adjust the helmet sling straps to secure the helmet against the bag. Do not use the Helmet Sling with airline baggage check carriage.
Airline Baggage Check Precautions:
- If it becomes necessary to airline baggage check the Travel Backpack, do not leave the Travel Kit attached, do not use the Helmet Sling and detach the Waist Belt and store it within the Travel Backpack.
- Do not leave straps hanging from the bag when placing it with airline baggage check.
- Do not use helmet slings with airline baggage check carriage.
- If the bag includes Stow-Away Straps, ensure the straps are fully tucked-away.
