Eagle Creek Hybrid Hauler Medium

Took this baby on a 12 day European trip where we didn't have hotels so we had to carry our stuff everywhere. The straps are good and sturdy and while my back ached from me packing it so heavily (my fault) it was super easy to run through the airport, hop on and off trains and generally get around Europe with minimal fuss. My friend had a roller bag which I was envious of when we were walking slowly places but any time we had to hustle or hop on and off a train quickly, my bag was far superior. And I fit a LOT in it!!! I think I saw a review somewhere that someone complained that the back of the bag had a giant logo on it... yes, it does have the Eagle Creek name on the back of the bag (which actually faces outwards when you're wearing it -protecting the zippered parts so someone can't pick pocket your bag while you're wearing it). The name/logo didn't bother me though.

This bag was perfect for a long trip where we needed soft-sided luggage. It seems to have been very well thought-out with separate zipped compartments in the right places. I also really appreciated that it is the same size as a carry-on suitcase, so it fits perfectly into the overhead bins of airplanes, as well as toting our gear around in various campsites. Very happy with it.

I have been making bi-monthly overnight trips via airline to Southern Utah for many years now. I was looking for a bag that would fit in an overhead bin with compression straps and back pack options and this is perfect. I travel light but have a memory foam pillow that makes the bag poofy. The compression straps on the sides make it easy to "squish" it flat to easily go into the overhead bin. I usually walk back and forth to the Economy Parking Lot and prefer a backpack over a wheeled bag (not a fan) and this met that need too. It doesn't have too many pockets, as some bags are guilty of, but just the right amount for me. I also love the general durability & sturdy handles along every edge. I found it first locally then bought it on Amazon for $60 cheaper. I love Amazon!

Great zippers, the straps are burly, handles everywhere, water resistant pan, almost perfect carry-on. The only change I'd make is to make the outside pocket big enough for on-flight magazines and my noise canceling headphones.

By thoughtfully packing and following recommended folding techniques, I was comfortably able to pack for a weeks vacation to the caribbean. The bag is easy to handle and carry. Avoiding the cost of checking a bag was an anticipated bonus.
