Is the Roadtripper 40 carry-on size?

Yes. At 21 x 10 x 10 inches it meets the carry-on limits of most major airlines, though a few budget carriers use smaller sizers.

Does it pack into itself?

Yes. The bag stuffs into its own pocket and packs flat for storage between trips.

How much can it hold?

40 liters, or 2,441 cubic inches, which is roughly a weekend of clothing plus a pair of shoes.

Does it have wheels or backpack straps?

No. It is a plain duffel with carry handles, so you carry it by hand or over the shoulder.

Is it good for checked luggage?

It works as a soft-sided checked bag, but the thin fabric gives fragile items little protection.

How many pockets does it have?

One exterior pocket plus the main compartment, so pack small items in pouches.

Our take on the REI Co-op Roadtripper 40 Duffel

The Roadtripper 40 is REI Co-op's lightweight 40-liter duffel, sized at 21 x 10 x 10 inches to meet carry-on limits for most airlines. It packs down into its own pocket, so it stores flat between trips, and a single exterior pocket plus the main compartment keeps packing simple. It suits weekend travelers and gym or gear-haulers who want a light, no-frills bag rather than a structured wheeled case. Against padded, wheeled duffels it trades protection and organization for low weight and packability.
