To keep your backpack clean and beautiful for years to come, use a soft sponge or cloth, water or any mild household detergent. Avoid using cleaning products that contain bleach, acetone, ammonia as well as coarse and abrasive sponges that can damage the finish of your hardside case and may discolor the fabric on your softside bag.
For sticky zippers, this can be caused by dirt, debris or years of use; we recommend using warm water and a small amount of dish soap and scrub your zippers. Remember to completely rinse and dry them afterwards. this will remove any debris and you can also use the lead of a pencil to gently rub the zipper teeth, which in turn will act as a dry lube on the zipper.
Store your backpack in an upright position in a dry location. Avoid storing in extreme temperatures. When you're not out there exploring the world, we recommend keeping your luggage covered while being stored.

Size Guide
Find your perfect fit.
All three sizes share the same features, fabric, and interior layout — the only difference is how long you’re gone.
From carry-on to large check-in, every Malibu Bay 3.0 piece shares the same fabric, hardware, and Polygiene® treatment — so the whole set travels together in style.
Yes. The 20″ Malibu Bay 3.0 Carry-On measures 22″ × 14.5″ × 9.5″ overall and fits most major airline overhead bins. We always recommend checking your airline’s specific size policy before you fly, as requirements can vary.
The carry-on has a built-in USB port on the exterior with an internally routed cord. Place a power bank (sold separately) inside the bag and plug the cord into it — you can then charge your phone or other devices through the outside port without opening your bag.
Polygiene® StayFresh® is a silver salt-based antimicrobial technology permanently bonded into the fabric. It inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold on touch-points like handles, zippers, and straps. It doesn’t wash off or wear off — it’s built in for the life of the bag.
The 25″ Medium (27.25″ × 18.5″ × 10.25″, 9 lbs) is ideal for 5–8 day trips. The 29″ Large (31.25″ × 20.3″ × 11.5″, 10.4 lbs) is built for extended travel, family trips, or anyone who packs heavier. Both share the same features, fabric, and interior layout.
Yes — a coordinating packing cube ships with every Malibu Bay 3.0 spinner. It’s sized to fit inside the main compartment and matches the bag’s fabric and color.
A single expansion zipper runs around the perimeter of the bag. Unzip it to add approximately 2″ / 5 cm of extra packing depth — great for the return trip when you’ve picked up a few extra things.

Frustrating not to reach any customer service by phone. 2 messages left and two emails. I received a vm return call after sending emails 10 days.2 weeks after my initial contact and order. I needed to correct something. Instead I kept the product and ordered a new one rather than wait for some kind of customer service.
This backpack is perfect size and has so many spots to put things in. I love how you can tuck away the straps if you don’t have any to carry it on your back! Very sturdy and great quality.
This backpack matches my Ricardo carry on and that’s nice. It’s not as large as I expected. I like the compartments and pockets. It’s easy to stay organized with this bag.
This is a Christmas present for my daughter in law. It is to replace her previously one. She was very pleased and surprised. I should also mention the gift arrived on time for Christmas. A shoutout to the men and women who busted their butts to get it here on time for Christmas.
This will be the second backpack that I've bought from Ricardo. The first backpack was a gift, so when this one came up for sale.....I figured I'd get one for myself. Could not be happier. I love that it has lots of compartments and a trolly sleeve so that I don't have to carry it on my back through the airport! LOL! It's nicely padded for a laptop or an iPad. Can't wait to travel with it at the end of the month! I've bought two carry on luggage from Ricardo as well, and they've worked out great!
Great backpack with all the accessories and compartments to place all your personal items. Matching my two Ricardo luggage bags. Large and carry on. Great luggage and looks even better than the pictures

Love this backpack — slim profile; snug, padded laptop sleeve; ample storage and pockets; durable fabric and solid feel; useful double-handles for vertical carrying; awesome, magnetic closure secret compartment; excellent padding on straps; and an efficient stowing system for straps.

I’ve been using my 3 piece luggage set for quite a while and love those pieces. This backpack stands by itself, it has a sleeve to attach to you luggage handle and fits under a seat. It has pockets everywhere. I travel about 4 to 6 times a year and always take a backpack, this is the best one I’ve ever had. Great for iPad or PC , books or any travel items you use. Every piece I’ve bought from Ricardo has all the little extras to make your packing and travel easier.
