FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of this bag?
The dimensions of the Metz 20L Underseat Cabin Bag Backpack are 40x20x25 cm (Length x Width x Height), precisely meeting Ryanair's free underseat cabin luggage requirements.
Is this bag suitable for carrying a laptop?
The `Front Organiser Pocket` is designed with compartments for an iPad and documents. While some smaller laptops might fit, there isn't a specifically padded laptop sleeve for larger devices. For optimal protection, we recommend using a dedicated laptop sleeve if carrying a larger computer.
Is the bag waterproof?
The bag is made of polyester, which provides some level of water resistance, meaning it can handle light splashes or drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof and contents may get damp in heavy rain. Consider using a rain cover for added protection if needed in wet conditions.
Does the bag have a water bottle holder?
No, this specific model of the Metz 20L Underseat Cabin Bag Backpack does not feature an external water bottle holder.
Can I use this as my only bag for a weekend trip?
Yes, with its 20L capacity and efficient `suitcase-style opening`, this bag is well-suited for a light weekend trip, especially if you pack strategically. It's excellent for minimizing luggage and avoiding checked bag fees.
How much does the bag weigh?
The bag has a `Lightweight design` and weighs just 500g (approximately 1.1 lbs), making it very easy to carry and maximizing your available weight allowance for contents.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the backpack features `adjustable padded straps` and a `padded mesh back` for comfortable and customizable wear, allowing you to tailor the fit to your preference.
Troubleshooting
Bag feels too heavy or uncomfortable when worn.
Evenly distribute the weight of your items inside the bag. Utilize the `adjustable padded straps` and `padded mesh back` to find the most comfortable and ergonomic fit. Avoid overpacking beyond its intended 20L capacity.
Cannot fit all intended items into the bag.
Leverage the `suitcase-style opening` for strategic packing. Roll clothes tightly and use small packing cubes for efficient compression. Maximize the use of the `Front Organiser Pocket` and `quick access pocket` for smaller essentials, leaving the main compartment for bulkier items. Engage `side compression straps` if there's any excess volume.
Concern about items shifting or being unsecured during travel.
Ensure all internal and external `zip fastening` compartments are fully closed. For extra stability, use the `side compression straps` to cinch down the bag's contents. Place more valuable or fragile items deeper within the main compartment or in secure internal pockets if available (though this model prioritizes external organization).
Bag does not fit under the airline seat.
While designed for underseat compliance, overpacking can make the bag too rigid or large. Ensure the bag is not excessively stuffed and use the `side compression straps` to make it as compact as possible. The `flexible soft-sided design` generally allows it to conform to tight spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Adjust Straps: Before first use, adjust the `adjustable padded straps` to fit your torso comfortably. The bag should sit snugly against your back without sagging.
- Pack Efficiently: Utilize the `suitcase-style opening` by unzipping the main compartment completely. Lay items flat or roll them to maximize space. Place heavier items closer to your back for better weight distribution.
- Organize Essentials: Use the `Front Organiser Pocket` for important documents, electronics like an iPad, and smaller personal items. The `Quick access pocket` is ideal for items you'll need on the fly.
- Use Compression Straps: If the bag is not entirely full, engage the `side compression straps` to compact the bag's contents and stabilize the load.
Compatibility
- Airline Compliance: The bag's dimensions (40x20x25 cm) are specifically designed to meet Ryanair's free underseat cabin luggage rules.
- Universal Carry-On: It is also compatible as a personal item with virtually ALL other major airlines, fitting comfortably under the seat in front of you.
- Usage: Ideal for short trips, as a secondary personal item on longer journeys, or for daily use where a compact, organized bag is needed.
Care
- Cleaning: The bag is made from Polyester. For general cleaning, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat, to prevent damage to the material and maintain its shape.
- Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is empty and clean before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
