eagle creek Gear Warrior Travel Pack 45l

A really superb carry on case that expands to just over carry on size if you want it to and stays carry on size if you dont. It is built really strong and has excellent features. It has backpack straps that stow in a hidden zip pocket, It has a shoulder strap option that works great, and it has a standard carry handle in the middle that is balanced well as well as handles on top and bottom so making it easy for me to yank back out of the overhead bin. It has two separate zip front pockets and the main compartment opens up very wide via a large C shaped zipper. It has 4 compression straps that are adjustable. Sometimes you really get what you pay for and this one is worth it. Built very solid.

I bought this bag because I wanted something that could look compact enough to not get questioned about size and weight when traveling throughout Europe. I traveled through DFW, JFK, Amsterdam, Prague, Dubrovnik, Brussels, and Lisbon with this bag and was never once questioned about the size.It has the expander zipper which I would pack all my stuff in with it expanded, and then zip the expander back up to make it look smaller. The straps on the side also help to slurp the bag up.I loved all the compartments that it had. There’s the main compartment and then on the outside you have two small compartments. I loved that they perfectly fit a quart sized baggie, which made going through security and pulling out my liquids very easy.The only reason I didn’t give this bag 5 stars is because the back support is subpar. There is no lower back support which means all the stress is on your upper back and I definitely felt it after having it on for more than 10 or 15 minutes.I personally don’t recommend using it as the duffle bag option. The combination of the shape, size and location of the duffle bag straps really just makes it feel quite awkward.I traveled for 12 days with this bag and was able to bring an outfit for every day. For size references.

Good quality materials, huge inside. I use it for travel and also a work/gym bag.

Awesome piece of luggage. Very versatile. Eagle Creek should use sturdier and thicker materials. Getting chintzier over the years.

Too small inside. Made for day trips not for long distance air travel

I see that someone gave this pack a bad review. That's crazy! Maybe they got a defective bag or something because I love this bag and have had it for several years now without issue. I have traveled all over the world with it and love it's durability and functionality. It's not too big to use as a carry-on and it's not so small that I can't fit a few extra souvenirs when needed.This bag can function as an over-the-shoulder side bag or a backpack. Additionally, all of the straps can be unhooked and tucked into the pocket if you want to check your bag.

Pretty good, but a bit floppy. I'd prefer if it had more rigid sides and a boxier shape.

It was the perfect size, weight, and material for using on safari. The only problem was I had to be careful where I sat it down because that part would go against my back. Was always trying to make sure it sat on an end or upside down. A little difficult to do at times with porters carrying my bag sometimes.

I have to say that the reason why I chose the Eagle Creek Gear Warrior was mainly because of the price. Other 40L travel duffel/backpacks that are comparable in quality and size (ex. Pelican, Osprey, etc) cost $50 to $100 more. The first thing I noticed that this duffel/backpack is actually 45L, not 40L. Also, it expands using a zipper that follows the whole bottom seam to add an extra 2" of height/space. It's great for fitting in dirty laundry (not folded) or souvenirs when you're on your way back from a trip.The main cavity of the duffel/backpack is just one section, there are no other zippers or compartments. I bought travel storage cubes (Gonex brand) that I will be using to organize my clothing/stuff when packing. There are two smaller compartment zippers on either ends of the duffel/backpack (see photos.)There are 4 compression straps near each corner to help get ride of any extra air which may be taking up storage space. Please see the photos and the product description for additional details.PROS:- very roomy and the main compartment is expandable- compression straps help with minimizing the space the Gear Warrior takes up- quickly/easily converts between a single strap duffel or a two strap backpack- there is a reflective material on the outside of the duffle/backpack (bottom pouch compartment; see photo) to help with pedestrian visibility (night)- sturdy foam pull handles on either end- top zipper lock for traveling security (see photo)- price is lower than other comparable brands- compact and provides more motility for the wearer- padded backpack straps with an emergency whistle incorporated to the sternum buckle- (personal opinion: I really like the color of this Gear Warrior duffel/backpack. The dark blue contrasts well with the periwinkle purple.)CONS:- may need to purchase storage cubes to organize and maximize all available space (not included)- does not provide a rigid structure like a shell-type carry-on luggage so breakable items must be kept out unless extensively padded/protected- to open the main compartment's zipper, one must undo most, if not all, compression strap buckles because only the front pockets are easy access pockets.- does not provide waist strap supportOverall, I can live with the shortcomings of this type of carry on/travel duffle, so I think that this was a worthy and equitable purchase (Please note, I did get this when it was on sale at $104.)

An und für sich eine ganz schöne Tasche, allerdings ist schon nach dem ersten Tragen ein Reißverschluss ausgerissen. Ich habe die Tasche zwar reduziert gekauft, aber mit knapp 90 €, finde ich dürfte es bei so einem namenhaften Hersteller nicht passieren.Die Tasche ist schön leicht, Griffe sind an den richtigen Stellen und vor allen Dingen gut gepolstert, so dass man sie immer gut greifen kann, und mit 45 l hat man damit das maximale an Handgepäck ausgeschöpft.

PositivesVery spacious and you can fit in easily a weeks worth of clothes.Is carry on compliant for the bigger airlines also.Very light and the front pockets are useful.NegativesMy main issue would be the bag is not the most comfortable when carrying for extended periods. No waist support and the straps are not really padded enough.

2020年６月２日にAmazonで43ℓのアークティックブルーを購入しました。最後の一個だったので、ブルーは今は一時的に切れていると思います。LCCの機内持ち込みサイズに収まる1.0kg以内の旅バックパックを探していて、本製品にたどり着きました。投稿したときに写真１から写真７と書きましたが、写真の順番が変わって掲載されていたので、番号を書き換えました。写真ではグレーっぽい色ですが、実際はグレーではなく、もっとブルーです。安く買えましたが、ちゃんと『輸入元（株）エイアンドエフ』と書いたシールが貼ってありました。【写真3】付いていた紙のタグなどを外して重さを測ったところ、960ｇでした。メーカーの発表値とぴったり同じです。付属のショルダーベルト単体で90gだったので、外せば870gしかないということです。驚きの軽さです。【写真４】ダブルジッパーの部分に丸い輪があります。この丸い輪を重ねて南京錠を通せばロックできますが、さらに上にある樹脂のパーツも一緒に南京錠で止めればもっと安全です【写真７】。（南京錠は手元に有ったもので、付属しません）【写真２】右の黄色いパーツは上の外ポケットのジッパーをあけると中に隠れているキーホルダーです。家の鍵などをひっかけて中にしまって、ジッパーを閉めれば外からはわかりません。【写真１】２本のショルダーストラップの片一方（左肩用）は出していて、もう一方（右肩用）は半分収納しているところです。ショルダーバッグとして肩からかけて使うときにはバックパックのストラップが邪魔になるので、収納できるようになっています。私は主にバックパックとして使うので、この収納機能は無くてよかったです。収納したときは上のジッパーは閉じられますが、バックパックとして使っているときは上のジッパーは開きっぱなしになってしまいます。その中にタオルなどを収納して、背あてのクッションにすることができるとは思います。最後にエクスパンション（拡張）機能の判る写真です。【写真６】閉じている通常使いのジッパーの状態。場所は背中側です。横にして置いた時の底側に当たります。【写真５】ジッパーを一周ぐるっと回して３～４cmほど深さを増した状態のジッパーの様子です。このように広げると、機内持ち込みサイズからはみ出てしまうので、やや危険かもしれません。コメント欄にアメリカ人の方が書いておられますが、拡張した状態で荷造りをして、その後でジッパーを閉じて縮小し、さらに4本のコンプレッションベルトでがっつり絞めてコンパクトにまとめるといいそうですので、荷物が多い時にはやってみてもいいかもしれません。なお、この写真の左下にあるのはネームプレートです。中に名前などを書いて入れる用紙が入っていました。もう一人のアメリカ人が書いておられた、縫い目からほつれてきてしまって最低とのコメントもありますが、そうならないことを祈ります。 今のところ見た目だけの判断ですが、総じて満足のいく買い物だと思います。

Would buy again.
