Notes from our data check
Brand spec block: 'Capacity: 35L | Weight: 1.41kg / 3.12lb | LxWxH (fully packed): 21.6 x 13.7 x 7.87 in (55 x 35 x 20cm)'. The brand's L is the bag's height and its H is the depth, so the array is [21.6, 13.7, 7.87]. The size is labelled 'fully packed' (the loaded size, not the empty size) but not 'exterior', so measure is unstated. No expansion zip. Brand: 'the Carry-on complies with most EU, US, and APAC airline restrictions'; 'Protect up to 2 x 16" laptops'. 55 x 35 x 20 cm sits exactly on the 55 cm and 20 cm limits; 7.87 in = 20.0 cm. Price $349 (Vancouver Grey, Aoraki Black; no compare-at). Amazon not checked.
