The middle section of the Minaal Carry-On 3.0 balances function with simplicity, featuring thoughtful upgrades over the older model. It focuses on utility without clutter, staying true to the brand’s minimalist style.
Compression Straps and Handle
The sides feature compression straps with sleek metal buckles that help tighten the load for overhead storage. A single side handle adds quick grab-and-go convenience, while the water bottle holder is a major upgrade over the 2.0.
Water Bottle Fit
The holder keeps bottles more secure and flush, fitting an 18 oz Hydro Flask with no problem. However, larger bottles like a 1L Nalgene will not fit. An added elastic loop helps keep bottles stable, making it more reliable than before.
Main Compartment
The main clamshell opening makes packing simple and efficient, especially for travel. Inside, there are two organizational pockets, one mesh zip and one solid zip, with the rest left open for a minimalist packing style.
Overall, the middle of the bag offers just enough organization to stay practical while keeping the layout clean. It’s a deliberate design choice for travelers who prefer space over excessive compartments.
