Ok I found a place that has the 200AW, I wasn't crazy about it. I am a big guy with a big frame so the sling shot does not work very smoothly and it's really tight.

I know what mike means about the trekker making him feel liek a humpback, I think I'm going to go with the non plus nonethless...the dimensions are legally under the carry on restrictions and I probably won't bring a laps top but use that space for magazines and papers.

I'm still open to new ideas...I won't pick it up till next week.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Computrekker Plus user here. I've traveled Honduras, Costa Rica, Yap, Chuuk and Palau with it without any airline problems. It holds a TON of gear. I find that its major drawback. It's heavy and if lost it's ALL gone. You do have to take it off and find a relitively clean place to lay it to gain access.


be safe and well. George

Interestingly flying from the UK at Stanstead I had issues with my computrekker and had to remove my laptop and force it into the luggage rack despite it being with Easyjets carry on limits according to their website. The lady there took pity on me and let me through. I really didn't want to check it with all my camera and laptop gear in.

Coming back from Munich I wasn't challenged about the size of the bag at all.

I love the bag though. Really good.
