Eagle Creek ORV Trunk 30 - 6000 cu in - 2008 BCS

This trunk is no doubt the BEES KNEES. As a guy that has consistently been a backpacker traveller I bought this gear bag for a 6 month period that I would be in australia, more of a "homebase" with excursions sort of travel. It is by far big enough for a long period of time with needs for tons of different gear.

I was able to pack it full of my dSLR camera gear and clunky tripod, hiking boots, double tent, gear, and more than enough room for plenty of around the town clothes and even some dress clothes. The gearbox made for boots is a lifesaver in that, you can use it for all your gnarly clothes that you just cant find the time to wash (boot cleaning takes zero time). This box became my permanent stink sack for worn out clothes i used while volunteer/working for room and board on a banana farm in the far north of Queensland australia.
The zippers on the bag are robust, the tie downs great, and volume is perfect. In addition the adustable pull bar is perfect for a now lazy traveller like myself. Lastly those wheels kick ass! they can handle some rough terrain without to much trouble. My only warning to a light traveller like myself, this is a BEHEMOTH. Unless you are going for an extended trip and essentially need to bring your life, go for a hiking pack. It is an excellent yet less mobile alternative as long as you stay small town bound. I brought a overnight pack inside of it as well for my backpacking trips.
get this and a small personal bag for long long trips.

I had this bag shipped to me while living abroad, and took it all over the world. It's a beast in durability, but fairly light and has tons of room without seeming too large. I took it on a 30 day trip through southeast asia, hopping on little planes and taking boats to islands and piling into commuter vans, and the whole nine yards... it was perfect, and barely looked used when i got home.One caveat... I'm all about packing perfectly, and I don't like the "boot box" feature. if you're not using it, it stows away, but is kinda thick, and i felt it took up room unneccessarily. You can cut it out (i did) without ruining its waterproofness, and then you could actually take it or leave it as your trip dictates, and you end up with an extra pocket (where the bag would normall be stowed) to boot.

Well built and designed. Empty it's pretty light and it holds a ton of stuff.

Our Eagle Creek trunk was nicer and sturdier than I pictured! We are traveling to Italy and allowed only one bag which worried me but as I am packing I find I have plenty of room W/ room to spare. This bag is a classic and I especially like its durability & design. Definately worth the money in my opinion. I plan to use it for a lifetime!!

Bought this bag for an 8-day vacation to the southwest (husband wanted to buy 1 bag for us to share rather than lug around 2 carry-ons). Two enthusiastic thumbs up! It's great looking and though I was initially nervous about having enough room, we were able to pack us both in the 2 separate compartments. Fully stuffed it weighed 46 pounds (max is 50 for airlines) so that was perfect, too. As we might do a few weeks in China next year, we are considering buying another.

Check in luggage cannot exceed 62 linear inches. This bag is 61 (30+15+16=61). I dont understand why the person below was charged a fine.

I had to do a star rating but do not have this bag as of yet. Seriously considering it though

I travel. Over 150,000 miles and 4 continents in the last 10 months. In that time, I've trashed 6 bags. Had this one a month. Made two trips to Canada (Val D 'Or and northern Newfoundland) and not a thread loose.

I travel with work boots and outdoor clothes and struggle not to exceed weight limits, but this bag makes life a lot easier. It won't easily pack your suits though, the shape makes it less than perfect for that.

I'm 6'2" and the handle lets me drag it without clipping my heels, also a big plus.

I'd buy it again, but with a lifetime warranty I'll never have to. What else can I say?

Just flew to Frankfurt Germany from Arizona and back. No issues from the airlines. Solid bag with a bullet proof warranty. Eagle Creek makes good stuff, nuff said. Could use some more organizer pouches, but, I think it's a solid bag.

I took this bag on a three week trip to Europe. It stood up well to airline abuse and was dragged all over the place including a 20 minute walk in the rain to a train station. The wheels are holding up well despite this. I especially like the warranty on this product but don't think I'll ever need to use it since this seems to be a very well made product. The "extra compartment" may work well for some, but I think the extra bagging adds more weight to the product, something which is important when the airlines are charging for every extra ounce.

I just returned from a 2 wk trip to Yellowstone/Tetons. This was my first time out with this bag and I was able to cram everything I needed into it. I used the Eagle Creek cubes and one envelope for organization. I couldn't believe what I could put in this bag! I had NO AIRLINE ISSUES, either. My bag was underweight (by about 5 lb) and noone batted an eye at the size. This (or the smaller 25 inch we also own) will be the only bag I use from now on. It rolls better than any other piece of luggage we own.

Love this bag! Just did 10 days in Guatemala, bounced it around pretty hard - it never complained and still looks good. The boot box was great for my concrete-caked boots. Leaving IAH on Continental I was overweight (had a hammer drill and a sawzall stuffed in it) so I got fined $25, but on the way back I was under 50lbs and had no problem checking - no fee for oversize or anything. Great bag.

Just returned from a 2+ week through Europe consisting of mostly one night stays- this bag worked great! No troubles at all with airline check-ins (other than the temptation to pack it too heavy- there is so much room!) Very easy to manage in/out of cars, rolling across cobblestones and carrying up/down tons of stairs. Great handle placement and weigh distributions. Really liked that zippers aligned allowing one lock to cover all but the bottom front compartment. (drop bag does not fit into either exterior pockets, but a half-cube does!)

I was really excited about this bag until I realized you need to pay extra to put it on a plane because the dimensions are too large. If you are going snowboarding or using this bag for train/car travel, I would recommend it. Return shipping costs have hurt my pockets.

Even though I haven't had a chance to use my ORV Trunk yet, I know I won't be disappointed. It looks sturdy and indestructible, and if it performs anything like my other Eagle Creek products, I know it'll be a great bag.
