Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 6 reviews.

I bought the High Sierra roll on /backpack to replace one I bought at least 10 years ago and used constantly both for travel and more recently for my shopping. I highly recommend this product and was delighted to get one at a discounted price

High Sierra Freewheel Wheeled Laptop Backpack - 17-Inch - Black

Since purchasing, our Sierra backpack has travelled around the world incl. Japan, Lapland and the arctic circle, Paris and even Iceland, and has arrived home looking and working as new, even the wheels which did many km's and which I was skeptical about. Good job Sierra, yet another backpack you can't break :)

High Sierra Freewheel Wheeled Laptop Backpack - 17-Inch - Black

Great quality bag but just slightly too small for what I intended it for. Contacted luggage direct and was able to easily exchange it for an alternative wheeled bag. Very happy with the quality of the bag though. Thank you

High Sierra Freewheel Wheeled Laptop Backpack - 17-Inch - Black FAQ

Does This Carry-On Bag Meet Major Airline Size Restriction Requirements?

Yes. This model is designed as Carry-On overhead luggage to strictly comply with the 56cm (H) x 36cm (W) x 23cm (D) guidelines used by major airlines like Jetstar, Virgin Australia, and Qantas.

Check out our Airline Guide for the most up to date details

Double Check Before You Fly:

  • Please check the Product Size and Measurements tab on this page for the accurate sizes and weight of this specific model.
  • If you are browsing our full range, you can sort by "Carry-On" in the menu to view all bags guaranteed to fit overhead lockers.
What Happens If The Wheels Break?

This product comes with a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in workmanship and materials. If you encounter an issue, we are here to help!

Please Note: Manufacturer warranties do not cover damage caused by airline mishandling (e.g., cracks or missing wheels after a flight). If your bag is damaged during transit, you must file a claim with your airline before leaving the airport.

Is This Product Waterproof?

Most of our supplier's range of luggage and bags are designed to be Water Resistant, meaning they can withstand rain showers and splashes during travel, but they are not fully "Waterproof" (submersible).

  • Hard Shell Suitcases: The outer shell is impervious to water, keeping your contents dry in the rain. However, water can eventually seep through the zipper teeth in heavy downpours.
  • Soft Shells & Fabric Bags: These are typically treated with water-repellent coatings to bead off light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy storms may result in moisture soaking through.
  • Leather Items: Genuine leather is porous. While it handles light splashes, we recommend keeping leather bags out of heavy rain to prevent staining or damage.

Recommendation: If you are traveling with sensitive electronics (laptops/cameras) in extreme weather, we always recommend placing them inside an internal plastic sleeve or dry bag for 100% protection.

How Do I Care For Leather vs. Fabric Bags?

Fabric/Nylon: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Allow to air dry in the shade. Do not machine wash.

Leather: Leather is a natural material that develops character over time. To keep it looking its best, we recommend using a specialized Leather Conditioner every 6-12 months to prevent drying or cracking. Avoid direct sunlight for long periods.

Please note: As leather is a natural product, slight variations in color, grain, and texture are normal and add to the unique character of each piece. These are not considered defects.
