Remove trapped air from clothing to reduce packed bulk.
Carry clothing and travel essentials for trips of 7 days or more in one organized backpack.

No. It removes excess air to reduce the packed volume of soft items; the contents still weigh the same.
That depends on the airline, fare and how the backpack is packed. Compare the configured compressed dimensions above with the personal-item checker, then confirm the current rules with your airline before flying.
Use the vacuum compartment for soft, compressible items such as clothing and other textiles. Keep laptops, rigid objects and anything sharp outside it.

How vacuum compression works
Pack it full, seal the compression chamber, and the built-in pump pulls the air out. A week of clothes collapses into a carry-on. Drag the slider to watch it happen.


Live capacity
Everything you'd take for a week — jumpers, jeans, shoes, the lot — all packed in.
