Kiva Designs BMR Carry-On Bag-Backpack - 18"

A bag that meets many needs

I really like the overall compact size yet roominess of this bag. It has alot of pockets to help in carrying toiletries. I use this bag mainly for travel to/from the gym but will also use it for weekend travel. One Con: It says it is convertible to a backpack yet I cannot figure out how to do it. Can someone help out???

This bag was so easy to pack with the expandable frame. I used it for weekend trips in Peru when I didn't want to bring my whole suitcase. There are lots of internal pockets to stay organized, and even more external pockets for easy access. The shoulder strap is padded and comfortable and doesn't get tangled. There is a wide, thick band of fabric that covrs the zipper: great for deterring pickpockets. The description says it converts to a backpack, but after much exploration, I couldn't figure out how to convert it.
