Great review! Does the CTB35 fit underneath the airline seat? I have the CTB26 and it fits on most airlines that I’ve been on (international and domestic). Also, it’d be cool if you did a review on the EG sling that you packed.

When I’ve flown with the CTB35, I put it up top and use a sling (1.5 bag travel) for in flight needs. That gives me ample leg room which is definitely preferred. My CTB26 fit under the seat on every flight I’ve taken it on and based on that, I think the CTB35 is hit or miss. Depends on how full you packed it, which airline and which size plane you’re on. Stay tuned! I’ve got a bunch of sling reviews coming soon!

Hi i am 5'7 and after comparing the CTB26 and CTB35 side by side, the latter looks way bulkier, feels heavier after strapping it on and its not proportional to my body size. Due to my weak back after surgery, i can only carry up to 10kgs max on my back. The CTB26 is an easy choice for me and i have it in OD Green, which is beautiful. On top of that, the CTB26 can fit under most of the airlines seat when its lightly packed out, which means i don't need to fully rely on the overhead cabin.

The OD green is a solid choice for the CTB26!! If you’re not one bagging you’ll be more than ok with using this paired with some other item like a roller bag or duffel. I mostly fly AA and have never had an issue fitting this under a seat either.

"which means i don't need to fully rely on the overhead cabin". this is important information nowadays. reviewers should be discussing this option. under the seat.. passing budget airline requirements etc...

@@OnlyThe1Son I share this information based on my personal experience. The flight was at max capacity, so the overhead cabin was full. I was offered by the airlines to check in my carry on luggage for free. Thankfully after arrival, I didn't have to wait too long to get my luggage. I don't like waiting to be honest, so I would prefer not to check in any baggage and risk the possibility of the luggage being lost or mishandled.

@@OnlyThe1Son I do agree but with all the different airlines having different size requirements it can be tough to give accurate statements if you havent physically tested the fit for all of them.

Feels good under weight of the bag packed out without the frame sheet?

Which other bags are you referring to when you mention there are other bags in this size with more comfortable shoulder straps? Also, wouldn’t using the hip belt help with shoulder discomfort when carrying the CTB 35 fully packed out for extended periods of time?

I don’t find the hip belt to be all that useful. It’s not super rigid and won’t transfer the weight from your shoulders to your hips as it needs to be flexible and stowable. Goruck and Aer makes very comfortable straps and they offer a 35L bag which would be a direct competitor. Additionally, there are many other travel bags in this ~35 range with comfy straps.
