Deuter ACT Trail 20 SL Daypack

Deuter ACT Trail 20 SL DaypackThis pack has traveled on a day hike through the Sierra Nevadas as well as several airports to get me to the mountains. It's extremely comfortable (I'm 5'8", 135 lbs), holds more than enough gear/food/water for a full day on the trails, yet has plenty of pockets for urban traveling too. I haven't had need for the rain cover yet. Love that it's a fun color. Best pack I've ever owned.

Looking forward to using this pack on the Camino de Santiago. Large enough to fit a compact sleeping bag and all essentials. Nice fit and great look.

The North Face Isabella Daypack for Women - 2012 Model Kodiak Blue Geo Snowflake

The North Face Isabella Daypack for Women - 2012 Model Kodiak Blue Geo SnowflakeAwesome design really drew me in. I utilize all of the pockets and supports. I know it's lady-sized but it does seem a bit small... That might prevent me from over packing it.

Company would not let us exchange it. I don't feel like this was very good customer service. Stay away. Very disappointed.

But, understandable if it doubles as 2 items. Still a little heavy for a 7 year old girl to carry around.

CamelBak Alpine Explorer 100 oz. (Fiery Red/Gargoyle)

CamelBak Alpine Explorer 100 oz.Bought this to replace an older model that was similar. This one seems to be OK for my purposes which is 5 to 10 mile hikes with a lunch aboard. Does not seem to be as sturdy as the older model and I wish it had a built in rain cover, but it holds quite a bit of stuff and plenty of water. It is about as comfortable to wear as my old one and there are several places to tie things on if needed. All in all a good light duty pack. Would have given it a five star if I knew that the zippers and straps would hold up as well as the old one, but that remains to be seen.

Disney Pixar Cars 2 Dual Compartment Lunch Kit - RSN

Disney Pixar Cars 2 Dual Compartment Lunch Kit - RSNI bought this for my 4-year old to take his lunch to preschool. He loved the lunch bag when he received it. Unfortunately I can't say as much. It does not reflect the usual quality of Disney products.

Surprisingly, the inside has no insulation and therefore cannot be used with perishable foods. Based on recent studies showing the need to have ice packs to keep your child's food safe, this particular lunch bag would not be safe.

Sizewise it's very small. The larger trangular compartment (8"x6", 5" deep at bottom and 2" deep at top) small will hold a wide-mouth thermos such as the Thermos Food Jar 10 Oz. and a juice box. The bottom compartment (7"x2"x4") has room for a juice box or a small banana for example, but not too much room for much else.

The image on the front is cute and "moves" slightly (it appears 3-D) but may show scratches over time. The metallic red piping around the edges will help it keep its shape. The printed images of cars on the bottom are thin it doesn't look as though they will stand up to a lot of use and abuse either.

If your child needs a snack bag to fit in a tote bag or cubby, it's about right. If you'll use it to hold little toys and Golfish for outings, OK too. However, for the price, you will find much better options for lunch bags that are insulated and much better quality.

eBags Mother Lode TLS Weekender Convertible

eBags Mother Lode TLS Weekender Convertible - Green EnvyMy mission for the perfect traveling bag started 4 years ago. Yes, it was a long one but I was not about to buy 4 bags, compare them all, then go to the post office with the returns.

Please bear with me. The back story is important here.

It began with a medium sized 4wheeled bag for my wife and a medium 2-wheeler Burton for myself. She liked the ease in pushing her stand-up luggage over the airport's smooth floor but once out in the real-world her bag was more easily pulled using just 2 of its wheels. Which was actually 90% of the time. During its 4th voyage, while traveling over pebbles to a oceanside hotel one of its cheap plastic wheels started to malfunction. It never rolled smoothly after that day but we did use it for the return trip home. Well, it was still under warranty but they would only repair it if I sent it back to them. That would be $10 for a cardboard box from staples and probably another $30-$40 to mail it backTo repair a $80 used bag?

In the mean-time, my Burton luggage rolled-on like a tank due to its skateboard type wheels which always survived the baggage handlers, but alason its 5th trip, one of its zippers simply disappeared. Discovered this at baggage claim where I made a damage claim. The airline offered me a new bag of equal size which I promptly rejected because It wasn't even close in quality to mine. The problem was taken care of using a zipper repair kit ordered here on amazon.

Both of these bags juuuust make the size limit for carry-ons. Which, for me is more often bad, rather than good. Reason being... It was a huge hassle trying to find room in the overhead compartments of economy class (I prefer to spend the money on trips to exotic locals).

So, we decided to leave our wheeled luggage at home and travel with backpack luggage made for active people. I started looking for pack that had a rectangular shape with a flat bottom and deep sides for maximum capacity, and it should have compression straps to cinch it all in to fit in those overheads.

When I first saw the eBag MotherLode I knew it was large enough to handle a week's vacation worth of clothes. You see, over the years I've learned that less is more and I believe most frequent fliers come to this realization eventually. Instead of bringing alot of clothes, just utilize a washing machine or the hotel's laundry service.

This bag can easily hold my 10 day load;

1 pair casual cotton pants

1 pair blue jeans

1 dress slacks

belt

2 casual long sleeve

1 dress shirt

2 t-shirts

1 nice pair of black shoes

2 wool socks

2 wool briefs

(lightweight wool underwear is simply amazing for travel. You can clean it in the sink at night and it will be dry by morning. It's itch-free and anti-odor as well. I've found the best to be made by Icebreaker.)

Sounds like too little? Not really because i fly wearing loose-fitting casual pants, long sleeve shirt, t-shirt underneath, socks and casual shoes.

Back to the bag. It looks like a backpack but packs like luggage. The zipper goes around 3 sides so you can pack comfortably. There is a fabric divider which will keep things from clumping at the bottom of the bag when it kept in a vertical position. I put my shoes in plastic bags and packed them in the "south" of the bag with my pants and heavier items while my shirts go in the higher level with the light stuff. Of course, the zippers can be locked.

Besides the large main compartment, there is a zipper which opens to add another 2 inches of capacity. I've never had to use it and i imagine that if I did, this bag would become just as large and unwieldy as wheeled luggage. But it's good to know that if i need the extra space to bring back any "great finds", I can load it up and check it in.

Next up, the laptop compartment which I do not use because smartphones are just as helpful in a wifi equipped room. And I do make sure my hotel had wifi before I book it. So I use this easy to access area to hold a book or two. This pocket can also be locked.

Then there is a small dual zippered area on the top front. Looks like it's been made seperate to hold used socks/underwear or light shoes. I do not use this pocket at all because it opens way to easily, so I keep a small tsa lock on it at all times.

We now move on to the second largest compartment. Here you can keep everyhting else that you will need like cameras, chargers, electric shavers, books, etc... Very good size for a secondary area. Along the inside of the flap there is a cell phone pocket, and small mesh pocket, and two zippered pockets for documents and wallet. Can also be locked.

The next zipper is vertical and secures a pocket along the outside of the pack. Here is another good place to keep a book. Specifically the one you will need easy access to. This area is not lockable.

There is another small zippered pocket off to the side in which is stored a bottle holder cinch sack which you would use while actually carrying the pack on your back as it sticks out too far to keep a bottle in here while doing anything else. Not lockable.

This brings us to the final compartment on the back of the pack in which hides the carrying straps which can be attached very quickly and easily and are very well padded and make carrying this pack around very pleasant, even for long distances. If you feel the desire to run you simply attach the chest strap (included, along with waist strap and a shoulder strap) which enables the pack to stay the course. It's zipper can be locked as well.

Oh, and there is a carrying handle on top and one along the side and a "pick up strap" along the bottom end so that you dont have to touch the bottom of the bag when lifting in that manner.

I do believe I've covered it all.

Mission accomplished.

Debated back & forth on whether to purchase this or the Rick Steves convertible backpack for my son's 3 week trek through Europe. Saw the other seemed to have quality issues, so I took a chance on the ebags Mother Lode Weekender, as I was impressed with their lifetime warranty. The twisted poly material seems very durable (looks in appearance like ballistic nylon, but smoother), and the black makes for an attractive bag. Seams are well reinforced, and there are lots of carrying options. Padded straps are very comfortable. Didn't realize when I ordered that it came with a separate padded strap that you can attach to carry over your shoulder if you choose. Also didn't know that it had an expandable zipper option, which is what I was hoping for. Outside pocket is also very deep, so plenty of room for packing. Lots of large & small storage compartment areas (even a pull out water bottle holder) possibly more than one would use, but good to know they're there, as are the built in dividers. All that can only help keep one more organized & make it much easier to get through security. Four outer compression straps can really cinch down your pack. Plenty of room for his 15" laptop, if he takes it, although that would add to the weight. The only concern I have would be whether the heavy plastic clips will withstand the test of time, but I imagine if not, the warranty will take care of that. There's a great video on the ebags website that shows you how to best utilize all the compartments/features.

Follow-up: One year later we have used this bag on a few different trips (I borrowed it when my husband & I went to Italy last fall. We took that, 1 small rolling bag & a drawstring bag for a 10 day trip & were set). The backpack really is well made; I was very impressed & have recommended it to others without hesitation.

I just took a trip for five days and wanted to stick with carry-on and avoid checking fees. Everything fit into the bag perfectly with room to spare, I was able to easily fit two large souvenir mugs and some extras I'd picked up on my trip. I was able to pack things neatly since the bag has a divider in the main compartment which really helped when my bag went through the X-ray.

There are so many pockets and compartments, there were a few that I hadn't noticed until I was packing and still one more that I didn't notice until about halfway through my trip. There were a couple of times when I was trying to find "just the right spot" to pack something and I just started opening pockets and found the perfect place for everything.

The dimensions were almost exactly the maximum dimensions for carry-on luggage, but I think that was based on using the expansion zipper because my bag fit perfectly into the overhead with room to spare.

Finally, I really love how lightweight the bag is I am a 5'1" woman and I didn't want to be hauling around a bag that weighed too much (plus there is the weight limit for carry-on luggage). I was amazed when I weighed the bag after I'd packed everything I needed.... everything weighed just under 15 lbs! The bag wasn't so comfortable that I'd go backpacking in Europe with it, but it was great for the maneuvering I had to do through the airport and the airplane.

I bought this bag about a year and a half ago from ebags. I have been to San Francisco, Thailand, New York, Las Vegas, and Chicago with this bag. It has held up like new. I love all the organization compartments and the different ways to carry the bag. I don't know if you notice this but the zippers can be locked. I bought some non TSA brass locks for stuff I wanted secure. With so many compartments it is very easy to misplace stuff. It did take a couple of days to get used to where to put everything. This is like the swiss army of carry on bags because it has so many roles. With the increased fees for checked bags I find this bag to be a great deal to stuff as much travel stuff as possible. I have never had a problem placing the bag in the overhead bin on any airline even when the bag was fully expanded. Do your self a huge favor and go to the ebags website or youtube to look at the features of the bag which are indeed ingenious. The bag comes in at 3 lbs, 15 oz which is great especially when you fly over seas where the carry on bag limit can be restricted to 15 pounds! I have never seen the weight restriction imposed. If the airlines start to enforce the limit or lower the weight then it is great to be to squeeze every little ounce if you have too. Buy this bag if you travel or plan on traveling. I hope this review helped because just like you, I read what you review when I buy something.

I bought this bag for a 6 month trip wandering around Europe. I'm around 5ft 2, average weight, female & thought this bag was a perfect fit. My last pack was a High Sierra model that sat too high on my shoulders & always felt like it was choking me, and I had no such problems with this pack. I did bring a smaller pack with me for day to day things (the front pack off my old High Sierra, actually), but this pack is big enough to hold the essentials. Good organization, sturdy design. I used packing cubes for my clothes & whatnot, 1 large one at the top, and then 2 smaller ones with heavier stuff down the bottom, and never had an uncomfortable moment with this pack. Highly recommended.

Atlantic Compass 25" Expandable Spinner Suiter

Atlantic Compass 25' Expandable Spinner Suiter,Black,One SizeWe bought this suitcase to replace a similar one by the same manufacturer that we used for 10 years and were really please with the functionality and the durability. The size is perfect; we have never been able to make it weigh more than the 50 pound limit that airlines impose. This new model has great spinner wheels. The problem is in the way the handles attach; they are poorly designed. On our first trip one of the handles became detached on one side when we were pulling it off the luggage carousel. Since it's the main handle, the suitcase is virtually useless now and I expect the same thing will happen to the remaining handle because of the design. Very disappointed!

The bag has been on five trips since puchased. 4 business trips and one vacation trip with the bag packed with everything an infant and 4 year old could need for a week's trip to the beach. (We're talking formula, diapers, snorkle masks, toys, etc.) It's held up and is holding up quite well. The upright, spinner-nature of this bags makes it a great travel piece. Even when packed to capacity, it does not exceed airline luggage limits and as it spins easily, even my four year can help push this to the check-in counter. Overall, quite pleased with this purchase and will likely purchase again.

I saw the review about the broken handle, but bought the suitcase anyhow. It just arrived, so I haven't used it. Everything is excellent, glides smoothly, spacious, attractive, well-made, but now that I see the handle in question, I'm concerned. It lays flat. You lift it out and it's accessible...but then it snaps right back to a smooth position. My concern is not for my use, it's about baggage handlers. If they get impatient trying to pull up the handle and use the push-pull device to lift the suitcase, that would break it. Since I like the suitcase otherwise, I'm planning to keep it and hope for the best, though still debating. Very nice ruby color; should be easy to spot at baggage claim.

Toshiba 10.1-Inch Netbook Soft Sleeve (Black)

Toshiba 10.1-Inch Netbook Soft Sleevethis case if perfect fit for Toshiba nb205 with standard 6 cell battery netbook. Since Toshiba NB205 have battery stick out at back, normal 10 inches netbook sleeve won't be able to fit. This Toshiba netbook sleeve is specially made for NB205, it's perfect fit for NB205.

Title says it all. This case is well constructed with nice stitching and is soft and offers decent padding for your Toshiba NB205 netbook. I use it with a NB2050-N210 (the cheaper, black model) and it fits perfectly. Slide the netbook in, and flip the 'hood' over it for a nice snug fit. Originally I wished that it had a zipper instead of the 'hood,' but the non-zipper design is nice and solid. Over time, the hood may eventually get looser and loose its form (e.g. get floppy) but it seems to be holding up well so far. It was cheap on Amazon (fifteen bills) and a no-brainer since there aren't any other cases out there that will fit the NB205 perfectly like this case.

I recommend this case despite not being able to give it 5 stars. I wish it had a little more padding and I'm a little concerned the 'fold over' opening won't last over time but the laptop fits perfectly, it has adequate padding if you don't drop it from a bare handed standing carry and was decently priced. Besides, I have found no other case that fits this weird sized netbook.

This case fits my Toshiba Mini NB205-N311/W 10.1-Inch notebook perfectly. This case does not have enough room to store the power supply... but seeing as though the netbook has a 9+ hour battery life, I seldom need to carry it with me anyway!

Kalencom Diaper Backpack, Gecko Red

Kalencom Diaper Backpack, Gecko RedWhen I ordered this diaper backpack, I thought the color looked so cute and all the compartments, especially the insulated bottle ones were so great. I also thought Gecko Red was a weird name for a backpak which looked to be olive and gray diamonds. Well it turns out, I received a bright red back pack that also wasn't as great as I thought it would be in other ways too. I put the reason for return that it was the wrong color, but the sellers haven't changed it yet. I thought I'd warn future buyers about the color. If it's called Gecko Red, it's really bright red.

Women's Columbia Vixen 22L Hiking Backpack

Columbia Vixen 20 BackpackI was afraid this bag would be too big for my Very petite wife (5'3" 100 lbs). It actually fits her perfectly, and the way the straps are cut for a woman makes it comfortable for her to wear.

I really like this backpack! Just used it for traveling with three small children and it was perfect. It's comfortable and has plenty of good storage. I didn't realize it had an internal frame...which is nice for support, but a little difficult for airplane travel (i.e., stuffing under the seat). Still, really have enjoyed it and would highly recommend!

Stansport Mountain Hauler Pack Frame

Stansport Mountain Hauler Pack FrameI purchased this pack frame for my wife since I have owned one of the early Kelty pack frames for 30 years. It has no sturnum strap to hold shoulder straps together. It needs lots more drilled holes for pin adjustments of various components. The webbing is B quality. That said, it is fairly light weighing in at 3 lbs. 6 oz. and the welding of aluminum tubing is very good. It also has optional hangers both high and low for the shelf or the shelf can be removed easily via the pin system. It will probably hold up OK for moderate use.

This frame lacks a sternum strap to keep the shoulder straps in place. I've done a lot of backpacking and know how critical a sternum strap is for carrying much weight down a trail and being able to control the load when moving around. So, I sent it back.

Too bad; a sternum strap would have made all the difference and how much would it have cost the manufacturer to add one?

Buy Stansport Mountain Hauler Pack Frame Now

I love the little shelf on the bottom of the backpack frame. I chose this particular model due to the fact it did have a shelf as most don't. A shelf helps position your pack properly and not have your load droop or shift. The padded shoulder straps are very comfy as well. Quite surprised at that!! There is a lot of thought put into this frame in that you can attach lots of goodies to the frame at different spots. I have a Swiss Military Weatherproof Knapsack that really fits well with a Swiss Army Blanket rolled up and sitting on the shelf under it. Granted you can't carry the kitchen sink with you with this frame, but you CAN wear it when you are on a bicycle and have it balanced while you ride. Would definitely recommend as an excellent external frame to build your own system on versus using an internal frame that digs into your back/kidneys. This is a very comfortable frame.

Total waste of money. Second strap that would have had the female receiving end of the cargo tray strap buckles are missing. Needed it the day it arrived so I tied the straps in a knot so I could use it. After one day use the stitching came apart at the seam of one of the shoulder straps and the thin (barely cushioning) foam came out. Also there is no buckle strap at the chest to clip the shoulder straps together. Makes for a painful sternum after a few minutes use. Piece of junk! Do not waste your money!
