Think Tank Airport Essentials Rolling Backpack Summary
The rolling model in the Airport range combines 80mm wheels for airports with deployable backpack straps for stairs and rougher terrain. It holds a professional camera kit alongside a 16-inch MacBook Pro and 10-inch tablet.
A reinforced telescoping handle supports rolling transport, while a full-width divider can separate camera gear from personal items. Locking YKK RC Fuse zippers and an integrated cable lock add security in transit.
What's New
A new full-width divider allows the main compartment to be split between camera gear and personal belongings, while three padded dividers gain integrated accessory pockets. The front pocket also provides more space for personal items, with an organiser and key lanyard.
Zippered side pockets replace the previous stretch pockets, with straps above for a tripod or water bottle. New interior and exterior fabrics complete the updates.
Unlike the Airport backpacks, this model retains its laptop sleeve in the front panel and does not include the hidden security pocket found beneath their luggage pass-through.
In More Detail
Rolling and Backpack Carry
Precision-engineered 80mm wheels use sealed ABEC grade 5 bearings for quiet rolling through airports and other smooth surfaces. A reinforced telescoping handle includes rubberised touch points, while deployable backpack straps store neatly in the back panel and provide an alternative for rough terrain.
Organisation and Security
Padded dividers configure the main compartment around different camera kits, with accessory pockets built into three dividers and additional zippered mesh storage inside the lid.
Locking main-compartment zippers are supplemented by an integrated cable lock, which is stored in a dedicated security pocket beneath the top handle.
Materials and Weather Protection
The exterior uses rubberised laminate reinforcement for additional durability, while a seam-sealed rain cover provides protection in wet conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Airport Essentials Rolling Backpack be carried on your back?
Yes. Deployable backpack straps store inside the back panel for use when rolling is impractical, such as over rough terrain.
How does the Rolling Backpack differ from the Airport Essentials 26L?
The Rolling Backpack adds 80mm wheels, a telescoping handle and deployable backpack straps. The 26L is a conventional backpack and weighs less.
Where is the laptop stored?
The laptop sleeve is in the front panel rather than the rear compartment used by the latest Airport backpacks.
Does it have a luggage handle pass-through?
No. The Rolling Backpack has its own telescoping handle and does not include the luggage pass-through found on the conventional Airport backpacks.
