- Airback Original Matt Black: the product page viewed in euros shows €199 for the option without a weighing handle. The same page offers the Travel Ready Set, with backpack and air pump, from €229.

The stated dimensions are the same, but this does not establish that the construction, materials, comfort or durability are equivalent. We have not carried out a comparative test that would support that claim. The Airback page was checked with Ireland selected and prices in EUR; confirm the price and order contents when selecting your destination.
If your priority is a vacuum compression backpack with an included pump for €129, you can view the MOVO kit and its availability. If a longer return period matters most to you, compare Airback's conditions too.
What about Tropicfeel Shell?
The official Tropicfeel Shell product page shows €189 for the All Black variant and an adjustable capacity of 20 to 40 litres. It is another option for organising luggage, but its organisation system should not be confused with a vacuum compartment and pump. Check which accessories your chosen configuration includes before comparing the total price.
If you are still choosing the type of luggage, read when to choose vacuum bags and when to choose a compression backpack before comparing brands.
Five questions before choosing a compression backpack
- Is the pump included? Check the exact kit contents, not just the photo. MOVO includes the pump.
- Do the dimensions fit your ticket? Compare the external dimensions of the packed backpack with your airline's baggage allowance. Cabin luggage and a personal item under the seat can have different limits. MOVO does not guarantee free acceptance under every fare.
- How much does everything you are taking weigh? Vacuum compression reduces the volume of clothing, not its weight. Weigh the backpack, pump and contents together before travelling.
- When do you need it to arrive? MOVO takes 3 business days to prepare an order. After dispatch, estimated transport time is 2 business days to Spain and 3–5 business days to other EU countries. This is not guaranteed delivery in 3 days.
- What are the return conditions? In addition to the deadline, check the required condition of the item and the procedure in each store's policy.
Who is MOVO for?
For someone who wants to organise clothing and personal items in a backpack with a vacuum compression compartment and prefers to have the pump included from the first purchase. Compression is useful for clothing and other soft items: it does not create space in the same way with rigid objects.
To use it, put clothes in the compression compartment, close the seal and use the included pump at the valve. Store electronic devices and valuables in their separate compartments. You can read our guide to packing a vacuum compression backpack.
