Our take on the Samsonite Paralux 2-in-1 Travel Backpack

The Samsonite Paralux is a canvas travel backpack that converts between a backpack and a carry-on-style bag, aimed at short trips and business travel. It uses zippered compartments and a soft canvas build rather than a hard shell. At $159.95 at Belk as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent price range, with 5 stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Paralux worth it at $159.95?
It is a fair buy if you want a convertible canvas travel bag from a brand with strong warranty support. At $159.95 at Belk as of November 5, 2026, it is at the top of its recent range, so waiting for a dip could save money.
How does it compare with a hard-shell carry-on?
The Paralux is lighter and flexes into tight overhead bins, but it will not protect fragile items the way a hard shell does. Choose it for soft goods and clothing, not bottles or electronics-heavy packing.
Can it work as a personal item on a plane?
It is built as a travel backpack and carry-on hybrid, so it fits most overhead bins. Check your airline's personal-item dimensions before relying on it as an underseat bag.
What can I fit in it for a weekend trip?
Expect room for 2-3 days of clothing, a laptop, and toiletries in the zippered compartments. It is not a multi-week pack.
When is the best time to buy it?
Watch for markdowns around major sales events and back-to-school season. The current $159.95 at Belk is the high end of its range, so a drop below that is a better buy.
Does it come with a warranty?
Samsonite backs its luggage with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your receipt from Belk or any of the 5 stores listing it new.
Where is the Samsonite Paralux 2-in-1 Travel Backpack cheapest?
At Belk, for $159.95, 20% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
