CabinZero: cabin backpacks and bags designed in the UK

CabinZero is a British brand that designs lightweight, minimalist cabin-size backpacks and travel bags in its own UK studio. Its catalogue is organised into collections such as Military, Classic, ADV and Air, and ranges from cabin backpacks and underseat models to backpacks with trolley sleeve, laptop backpacks, shoulder bags, bum bags, crossbody bags, packing cubes, rain covers, travel T-shirts and accessories such as travel pillows. The company also sells gift cards and product bundles.

Collections and featured products

The range is structured by collection, function, size and product type. The collections include Military, Classic, ADV and Air. By function, the site distinguishes cabin bags, underseat bags, backpacks with trolley sleeve and laptop backpacks. Sizes include 28L, 30L+ and 40L+. By product type, it lists backpacks, shoulder bags, bum bags, packing cubes, travel T-shirts, accessories and gift cards.

The catalogue shown on the site includes 26 products. Some of the best sellers are the Classic Packing Cube Large (£15.00), the Classic Packing Cube Medium (£12.00), the Classic Backpack 28L (£55.00) and the Classic Backpack 36L (£60.00). The Adventure Backpack, from the ADV Pro line, is presented as a model for travellers looking for a tough, practical companion, with a quick-access zipped pocket, a main compartment that can be loaded from the top or the front, a bottle holder and a hideaway hip belt and shoulder straps.

Airline compatibility and travel approach

The company organises part of its catalogue according to the cabin baggage policies of various airlines, including EasyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair, Delta, Jet2, AirAsia and British Airways. Its proposition is aimed at avoiding queues and checked baggage fees, and at offering the freedom of movement that, according to the brand, suitcases cannot provide. Underseat bags are presented as compatible with major airlines.

Warranty, materials and environmental commitment

All CabinZero backpacks come with a lifetime warranty. The brand states that its products are built to last and that, by avoiding constant replacement, they help reduce waste. The company is part of the 1% for the Planet initiative. As for comfort, the site recommends looking at features such as hip and chest belts, padded back panel and shoulder straps, adjustable straps, internal and external frames, air channels or mesh fabric for ventilation, and lightweight, breathable materials such as nylon.

Awards

CabinZero was recognised as one of the UK's top 25 SMEs and received the King's Award for Enterprise 2025. The brand has also been featured in the media, according to information on its site.

The company states it has a global presence in Europe, Asia and the Americas, among other regions, and offers a store locator to find points of sale. It runs the CabinZero Club programme, which includes special offers and inspiration for the #ZeroHassleTravel community.
