this back is awesome. it's huge at 7000cu but it also is standard airline size, checks in no problem. i can put tons of gear in it, well organized and it's got wheels to easily roll around effortlessly. it has an external pouch for dirty shoes. it's got a detachable dirty cloths bag. it's got two mesh pockets inside for gear, and it's great to be able to see into them. the third pocket is covered, again for dirty shoes or whatever you wouldn't want to leak on the rest of the gear. the external straps are awesome for picking it up or strapping it in for a boat ride or rough back of a truck ride, etc.

my bottom line: this is the best back i've ever owned for traveling with gear... period.

Mountain Hardwear lent me this to review and from the moment I pulled it, it was magic. I mean, this roller is super burly it puts the rest to shame. You will never use a duffel again. They put super stable skate wheels on these. I've pulled this along gravel, dirt, ice, it's perfect. Inside, the main compartment is huge. I've put clothes, a pack, my whole Ice Climbing kit in there, ski poles, and the smaller compartments are very user friendly, you can stuff this then really synch it down. It's made it under the wire each time with the airlines. I also bought the 85 juggernaut for when I can't take such a large bag/don't need it. These are waterproof for standard travel scenarios. It would take a lot to damage the contents or the bag itself.

I need an extra large bag for an international relocation I'm about to make, and after seeing the prices for "typical" luggage brands and being kind of bored with how un-innovative and everyday looking they are, I decided to try a few of the "outdoor" brands' spins on airport luggage. This is the one I kept. It's huge: on a test pack, I was able to fit every pair of socks I own, 2 pair of shoes, 5 pair of jeans, about a dozen t-shirts, and a couple other things just to try to fill it up, and still had room to spare. Also extremely important to me, since this is a soft-shell: the bag has to be able to stand up by itself in the airport while I check in, wait in line, etc. This one does, fully loaded; others didn't. Finally, for those of you asking about dimensions (which I also thought was weird when I couldn't find them anywhere): I measure it at 16"W x 12"D x 33"H. I recommend this bag, despite the fairly hefty price tag, for its volume, quality construction (I note thick YKK zippers throughout), innovation (zippered compartments for organization), and cool looks.

I travel to races - Ironman and 70.3-distance triathlons. I need to haul gear. Lots of it. And safely. The Juggernaut is the best piece of luggage that I've ever used. The frame and heavy-duty nylon give the bag shape and stability so you don't have to deal with floppy sidewalls while packing and it stands substantial on its own. It's super durable, well designed with thoughtful considerations (removeable zip-in mesh bags; well-placed, durable zippers; a comfortable handle; bottom bumpers for stability and protection; and cross-purposed strap/handles that clip across the top of the bag for extra reinforcement and easy carrying). I can fit all my tri gear (but the bike) and all the extras I need in it and still easily manage wheeling it around while I lug my cumbersome bike case behind me as well. I highly recommend it. Highly. I love it.
