FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of this bag?
The bag measures 40cm x 25cm x 20cm (Height x Width x Depth), specifically designed to meet Ryanair's free underseat cabin luggage allowance.
Is this bag suitable for other airlines besides Ryanair?
Yes, while specifically designed for Ryanair's underseat allowance, its compact size generally makes it compatible as hand luggage for most other major airlines. However, always check the specific hand luggage dimensions and policies of your airline before travel.
How much does the bag weigh?
The Cabin Max Metz Hybrid Trolley Cabin Bag weighs just 1.3kg, making it very lightweight for its capacity and features.
How much can I fit in the 20-litre capacity?
The 20-litre capacity is generally sufficient for 2-3 days' worth of clothing, a pair of shoes, toiletries, and small electronics like a tablet, depending on how efficiently you pack.
Are the backpack straps removable or stowable?
The backpack straps are not removable but are designed to be easily stowed away in a dedicated zippered compartment on the back of the bag when not in use, converting it fully into a trolley.
Is the bag waterproof?
The bag is made of durable Polyester, which offers some water resistance against light splashes or drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof, and we recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect your belongings.
What is the maximum height of the telescopic handle?
The telescopic handle extends to a maximum height of 77cm from the base of the bag.
Troubleshooting
Telescopic handle is stiff or won't extend/retract.
Gently check the mechanism for any fabric, dirt, or small objects that might be obstructing its movement. Ensure the release button is fully depressed. A light application of silicone spray on the handle rails can improve smoothness.
Backpack straps feel uncomfortable or dig into shoulders.
Adjust both shoulder straps evenly to distribute weight. Ensure the padded sections are correctly positioned on your shoulders. If the bag is heavily loaded, redistribute contents to balance the weight.
Zippers are snagging or difficult to close.
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try again. For persistent stiffness, rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth or use a specialized zipper lubricant.
Bag appears to exceed airline size limits despite being advertised as compliant.
Ensure the bag is not overpacked, which can cause it to bulge beyond its stated dimensions. If using the backpack straps, ensure they are neatly tucked away when measuring. *Always check your specific airline's most current dimensions at the time of travel.*
Wheels are not rolling smoothly or making noise.
Inspect the wheels for any hair, string, or debris caught in the axles. Clean them thoroughly. If the issue persists, the wheels may require lubrication or professional attention if damaged.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Cabin Max Metz bag is straightforward, and proper care ensures its longevity.
Initial Setup
- Unpack & Inspect: Remove all packaging and inspect the bag for any transport damage.
- Telescopic Handle: Extend the telescopic handle by pressing the release button and pulling upwards until it locks into place. To retract, press the button and push down firmly.
- Backpack Straps: Locate the padded backpack straps, typically stored in a zippered compartment on the back. Unzip the compartment, pull out the straps, and attach any bottom clips to their corresponding loops. Adjust the strap length for a comfortable fit.
- Conceal Straps (Trolley Mode): When using as a trolley, tuck the backpack straps back into their compartment and zip it up to prevent them from dragging or getting caught in the wheels.
Compatibility
- Airlines: Specifically designed for Ryanair's 40x25x20cm free underseat luggage. Also compatible as hand luggage with most other major airlines (always check individual airline policies for specific dimensions, as carry-on rules vary).
- Devices: The front organizer pocket is sized to accommodate most standard `iPad` models and similarly sized tablets.
- Travel Essentials: Designed to hold a variety of travel documents, pens, tickets, and personal items.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the bag's structure and materials. Allow to air dry completely.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a soft brush and a gentle fabric cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean and free of debris. If a zipper snags, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth.
- Handle Maintenance: Keep the telescopic handle mechanism clean. Avoid forcing the handle if it feels stuck; gently check for obstructions.
- Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
