Notes from our data check
Brand (English listing, SKU 176904PGN): 'Size: 15.7''×11.8''×7.9'' inch | Capacity: 24L | Fits up to 15.6''laptop | Fits Ryanair underseat cabin requirements'. Brand (Spanish listing, same SKU): 'mide 40×30×20 cm y tiene una capacidad de 24 L'. Axes not labelled. Weight not stated. CONFLICT: the black variant of the same SKU family (176904BLK, titled 'MATEIN Personal Item Backpack') states '15.75 × 11.81 × 6 inches, Capacity: 35L' - a 35 L claim is impossible in that box; the 40 x 30 x 20 cm figure from two listings is used. A different MATEIN model (SKU 115904, German listing) is 40x30x20 cm expanding to 40x30x25 cm, 0.8 kg - not this record. PRICE: matein.com shows $59.99 for this listing, $32.69 for the black 176904 listing, and EUR-converted prices on the ES/DE listings, so priceUsd is null. Amazon US: no matching listing found (it sells on Amazon UK/EU), so sold is null.
