LOVEVOOK Travel Cabin Backpack for Women (40L) – 17 inch Laptop Carry On, Waterproof Weekend Rucksack
Product description
The essentials
A cabin-friendly rucksack built for women who want one bag to cover the in-between trips: a weekend away, a hospital or maternity visit, or a business trip where you still need proper laptop storage. The LOVEVOOK Travel Cabin Backpack is positioned as a carry-on style backpack with a fairly roomy 40L capacity, plus a padded laptop compartment and extra organisation inside.
What makes it stand out (on paper, anyway) is the mix of travel logistics and everyday practicality: a laptop compartment designed for easy access during security checks, dedicated spots for an iPad, and interior organisation that’s meant to keep toiletries and smaller items from turning into one big rummage session.
That said, it’s not a miracle bag. If you’re expecting a ultra-premium travel pack with lots of expandable structure or heavy-duty weatherproofing for downpours, you may feel it’s more of a capable mid-range carry-on than something built for extreme travel.
Key points
With a 17.3 inch laptop compartment, a layout that includes separate pouches/cubes, and a wet compartment for damp towels, this is aimed at people who like their luggage to behave. There’s also a luggage strap on the back and padded carry options (top and side handles, plus padded shoulder straps and back), which is exactly the sort of detail that matters once you’re juggling terminals, cars, and short hops.
It also uses a classic V-shaped embroidered look and a modern colour scheme, so it doesn’t feel like pure “sports gear”. If you want something that looks reasonably smart for travel days and still works as an overnight bag, that versatility is a real selling point.
One thing to keep in mind: the product notes that it meets most airline carry-on requirements, but you’re still advised to check your airline’s exact size limits before you fly. That’s the kind of limitation that can catch people out with cabin bags.
Where it shines
The laptop compartment is the headline feature. It’s padded and designed to open 180 degrees, which should make airport security checks less awkward than bags where you have to wrangle your laptop out awkwardly. There’s also a matching iPad compartment (stated to fit a 12.9 inch iPad), so tablets don’t have to live loose in the main compartment.
Inside the bag, the inclusion of three storage pouches (for items such as cosmetics, toiletries, underwear and shoes) gives you an immediate way to separate “wet and small” from “dry and essential”. In particular, the wet compartment in the main compartment is the sort of detail that can be genuinely useful if you’re packing damp items—think a wet towel, a quick swim stop, or post-activity kit on an overnight.
For a micro example: imagine packing for an overnight appointment. You could keep your toiletries and smaller items in the pouches, put your wet towel into the wet compartment, and place your laptop and iPad in their dedicated padded sections—so when you arrive, you’re not digging through everything just to find one item.
What you’ll notice day to day
Comfort and handling matter more than people expect. This backpack includes padded top and side handles, plus padded shoulder straps and a padded back panel, so it should feel easier to carry either on your shoulders or by hand.
There’s also a luggage strap on the back designed to attach to a suitcase handle. If your travel style involves rolling cases for longer distances (to the car, through the station, or between rooms), this should make moving around less fiddly.
On the weather side, the material is described as being made to protect against light drizzle. That’s helpful for UK-style unpredictable weather, but it’s still “light drizzle” rather than full waterproof protection for heavy rain—so it’s worth planning for proper coverage if your route is known for storms.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
This makes sense if you want a single women’s cabin backpack that can hold a 17.3 inch laptop, handle the organisation side of travel, and still feel suitable for more than just work trips. It’s also pitched as a good fit for maternity/hospital use, plus weekend getaways, camping, hiking, beach vacations and similar outdoor activities.
However, it may not be the best choice if you’re trying to maximise every bit of capacity with very small compartments everywhere, or if you prefer bags that are more aggressively weatherproof and designed for heavy rain. On a practical level, if you travel with multiple large items that don’t compress neatly into pouches, you might find organisation features help less than you hoped.
It’s also not the type of bag you should assume will fit all airlines automatically. Size restrictions can be strict, so checking before you go is sensible.

Buying verdict
It’s a solid pick if you want a women’s cabin rucksack that’s ready for travel logistics—especially airport security—with a padded 17.3 inch laptop compartment that opens 180 degrees. The added iPad space, the separate pouches, and the wet compartment make it more “use-ready” than a basic large backpack.
You may want to skip it if your priority is heavy rain protection rather than light drizzle resistance, or if you regularly need a far more specialised layout than pouches and compartments can provide. And if you’re flying on an airline with tight cabin-size rules, don’t assume it will definitely comply—check the exact dimensions for your trip first.
