Reviews

Love this Bag!

"Checks absolutely every box in the everyday bag requirements. Great organization, comfort and durability. Highly recommend!"

Adam Z. (5/5)

Great travel bag

"I got this to have a little more space in my carryon when traveling, and it was perfect. I never could fill it up! I love little organization compartments, and this has more than I can use. My only minor gripe is that the passport compartment is so tight that you can barely fit anything in it but the passport. I ordered black by mistake, and I wish I'd gotten the off-white color."

Jeremy B. (5/5)

Awesome backpack

"This bag is excellent. I appreciate the quality, comfort, function, and capacity. The side entry helps access items that would be tough to access from the top. That took some getting used to but it works great."

Spencer F. (5/5)

Solid Bag

"Five weeks traveling, very happy with pack. Feels tight and solid on body, never felt movement once chest strap engaged. Was a bit of a learning experience to sort the pockets in my mind, but likely pilot error there. Main zippers might be a tad under sized, but then you have the EC warranty. . . Push the buy button."

Kendall L. (5/5)

One of the best backpacks I have ever had

"It holds the perfect amount for travel or hikes and lots of pockets which I like."

Dave O. (5/5)

I Like It

"It has a pocket for my sunglasses. That seems like a simple thing, but too many packs don’t. I’ll take the pack to Maui in January and Steamboat Springs next summer. I be stylin’!"

Mark S. (5/5)

Perfect

"This backpack suits my needs. I have no complaints. Quality construction with enough compartments to organize for my two month travel abroad."

John A. (5/5)

My Go-To

"My go-to backpack these days. Fits a lot and has so many ways to carry it. I like how the hip straps are removeable so I can remove them when my pack isn't heavy enough to warranty a hip belt. The side opening makes finding buried items easy and the water bottle pocket actually fits a Nalgene! I love that there is a laptop sleeve on both the outside and inside of the bag. Bonus points for the reflective material at the bottom of the bag when I'm bike commuting!"

Lucy (5/5)

Best Backpack Ever!!

"In the past, I had to buy my daughter a new backpack every year for school. Four years ago I bought my first Eagle Creek backpack. She carried that backpack for four years and it still looks fine. She just asked for a new color. If you think it’s a little on the expensive side, take the price of the ones you buy multiplied by four and compare I Highly recommend this backpack!"
