#1
Our light all-round pick

Samsonite Roadseeker M

Why choose itExcellent capacity-to-weight balance.

At 700 g for a true 45 × 36 × 20 size, with a claimed 36 L and ergonomic straps, it is a strong balance of capacity and low empty weight.

45 × 36 × 20 cmClaimed 36 L700 g

Strength Excellent capacity-to-weight balance.

Limit Less protective than more structured bags.

#2
Durable premium pick

Samsonite Ecodiver M

Why choose itComplete construction and strong review history.

Strong review volume and a range focused on durability, organisation and frequent travel.

45 × 36 × 20 cm33 L1.1 kg

Strength Complete construction and strong review history.

Limit More expensive and heavier than minimalist bags.

#3
A lightweight soft bag

CabinZero Classic 28L

€€Budget
Weight600 g
Why choose it600 g empty.

A wide opening and low empty weight suit travellers who organise their own clothing. It is smaller than EasyJet’s maximum; a short trip does not require using the entire allowance.

39 × 29.5 × 20 cm28 L600 g

Strength 600 g empty.

Limit Fewer separate compartments.

#4

45 × 35 × 20 cmClaimed 30 L820 g

Strength Good organisation without becoming heavy.

Limit Less minimalist, so slightly less open packing space.

#5
Most organised

Samsonite Cabin Pack M

Why choose itVery complete organisation.

Claimed 37 L and laptop storage up to 17.3 inches make it suited to travellers who want more separation.

45 × 36 × 20 cmClaimed 37 L1.3 kg17.3-inch laptop

#6
A more structured 28-litre pack

CabinZero Military 28L

€€Budget

The Military trades more structure for 905 g of empty weight. Its 43 cm height fits EasyJet’s 45 cm allowance, not every airline’s 40 cm personal-item limit.

Strength A relatively shallow shape.

Limit Heavier than the Classic.

EasyJet genuinely gives you a larger box

The free EasyJet small bag can measure 45 × 36 × 20 cm including handles and wheels, and weigh up to 15 kg. That is materially larger than Ryanair’s 40 × 30 × 20 allowance, so a bag maximised for EasyJet will generally not be free on Ryanair.

Empty weight becomes the first filter

At the same maximum size, the Metz is around 600 g while a small hard-shell case can exceed 2 kg. For travellers who walk a lot, that difference matters more than an extra pocket.

The largest claimed volume is not automatically the best bag

Capacity figures vary by manufacturer method. We prioritise dimensions, weight, organisation and review signal rather than ranking solely by litres.

For a week, organisation can matter more than absolute lightness

Cabin Pack, Memphis or Ecodiver may be more pleasant when separating laptop, clothing, cables and documents. The structural weight is then the price of better organisation.

Wheels or straps: same logic as Ryanair

Wheels are excellent at airports and hotels, less useful on stairs, cobbles and public transport. With EasyJet’s larger allowance, the carrying difference becomes even more noticeable when full.

Our shortcut

Roadseeker for weight/capacity balance, Ecodiver for durable premium, Metz for lightness and value, Cabin Pack for organisation, and Anode or wheeled Ecodiver if you do not want to carry the bag.
