We live in a world where airlines keep on changing the rules with regard to cabin bag allowances. This applies to the cabin bag as well as the personal item which is the bag you stole under the seat in front of you. Within Europe we see now two of the largest low-cost airlines, Ryanair and Wizzair, charging fees for the cabin bag, which allowing the personal item for free. They have been clear about the maximum dimensions of the personal item which is 40 by 30 by 20 centimeters. Frustrated by the additional fees, at SmartGear we realised that an under the seat travel backpack could be large enough for short trips. Could people travel with a personal item as their main bag? The current market is lacking good quality backpacks, meeting the under the seat dimensions. So we set out to create the RyanMax. The RyanMax range of travel backpacks has two different models allowing you to adapt to the way you travel. First we have the RyanMax, which is for those of you who travel without a laptop. This backpack comes with a large main compartment. The second model is the RyanMax Plus, which comes with an additional laptop and tablet compartment besides the main compartment and is ideal for those who travel and work. The large main compartment opens like a suitcase, giving you easy access to all your clothes and travel essentials. With our optional compressible packaging cube, you can bring even more stuff and compress the space that your clothes take by 30%. The RyanMax has plenty of smart features. We have a sleeve for your external mobile phone battery. You can charge your mobile in our fleece lined mobile phone pocket on top of the bag or you can charge it whilst holding the phone through our cable hole. There is a dedicated pocket for a track device that you can add to the RyanMax. To keep your valuables safe, we use durable water-resistant materials and all zips on the outside of the bag are waterproof. Both the main compartment and the laptop compartment on the RyanMax Plus have a lockable zip. Both zips on the front come with an anti-theft loop, deterring would be thieves. There is a hidden passport or wallet compartment against the back of the bag. In the straps we have built an easy access compartment for a transport or credit card. You can adjust the bag to your chest with a sternum strap and for those that do not want this, it is easily removable. Just slide it off. With the RyanMax, you can now travel easy on short trips and avoid the priority boarding charges or the check-in fees, no more queuing. The RyanMax is large enough to be used on a 3-4 day trip away. Going on a longer trip, don't worry, the RyanMax compliments a trolley bag with a built-in bag loop. We have also some optional removable clips, which allows the RyanMax to hang in front of our larger travel backpack, which we are currently developing. Whether you take the RyanMax alone or with an additional bag, you are maximising the cabin allowance you can take on your flight, thereby saving loads in additional fees. This is true for all US carriers and some of your largest low-cost airlines. With the RyanMax, we at Smart Gear have developed the best personal item or under the siege travel backpack on the market. We are now ready to deliver. We have finished several rounds of prototyping and we have our manufacturer sorted. All we need is your help by backing our project so we can make the RyanMax a success.
