Samsonite Mother Lode 22" Expandable Travel Backpack

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Samsonite Mother Lode 22 Expandable Travel Backpack is built for busy trips, with pockets everywhere inside and out that keep every item in its place. It expands with external compression straps so you can squeeze in a little extra and still slide it into the overhead bin. Top, bottom, and side carry handles plus a breathable back panel keep it versatile and comfortable on the move. The large main compartment uses compression straps and a fold-down shelf for easy sorting, while a front zip pocket holds essentials within reach. It expands 1.5 inches and includes a side water bottle pocket, exterior quick-grab pockets, and exterior compression straps. Stowable backpack straps let you switch from backpack to carry-on as needed, and it meets most airline carry-on requirements.

When worn, the back panel stays breathable and the stowable straps tuck away until needed. The large main compartment with a fold-down shelf, plus interior pockets and a key leash in the front zip area, keeps packing tidy. A side water bottle pocket and exterior quick-grab pockets put daily essentials within easy reach, while four exterior compression straps help maintain a compact silhouette as you move through terminals.
