The TAB expandable bag is a versatile solution for those with a lot to carry. Able to transform into four different sizes and 10 configurations total, the TAB expandable bag is ideal for any type of travelling, from a commute to a backpacking trip.

It's actually something of a redundancy to call the product a TAB expandable bag, as TAB stands for 'The Adjustable Bag.' Nonetheless, consumers won't be concerned with such peccadilloes once they get a chance to experience TAB's functionality.

The bag comes with four different sizes: a large travel size, a weekend size, a day pack size, and [fully collapsed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-pacific-huckpack-duffel-bag) (for storage.) Each of the former three sizes also offers three different configurations: backpack, shoulder sling, and hand-held. With all these combinations, the bag is suited for any travel task.
