Questions and answers

Is the Mother Lode Jr worth it over a rolling carry-on?
It depends on how you travel. The backpack is lighter and easier on stairs and public transit, but it has no wheels, so you carry the full load. At $108.99 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it costs less than most hardside carry-ons.
Does it fit under an airplane seat?
At 19.8 x 13.3 x 7.5 inches it meets most major US carry-on limits and usually fits in overhead bins. Underseat fit varies by airline and seat, so expect it to be tight on regional jets.
Will it hold a 17-inch laptop?
Yes. Samsonite lists the padded laptop compartment as fitting most 17-inch laptops. Measure your laptop's dimensions against the 13.3-inch bag width before buying a thicker gaming model.
What is the SmartSleeve for?
The SmartSleeve is a rear panel that slides over the handle of a rolling suitcase, so the backpack rides on top of your luggage. The backpack straps also stow away when you use it that way.
When is the price lowest?
The best new price seen is $108.99 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, across 3 stores. Travel gear typically discounts around Black Friday and back-to-school season, so watch the price history then.
