Eagle Creek Switchback Max 22 Convertible Pack

The Eagle Creek Switchback Max 22 Pack glides through airport terminals with its ORV wheels. Thermoplastic rubber Sole Patches reinforce high abrasion areas. When you encounter stairs zip-out the backpack straps and take those steps two at a time. The curved shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip-belt distribute weight evenly so you don't look like the hunchback of Notre Dame after a long walk to your hotel. For quick trips to the marker or museum, zip off the front of the Switchback—it doubles as a full-sized daypack with organizer pockets. The Switchback Max suitcase integrates with Eagle Creek's Pack-It System for efficient, organized packing and unpacking.

Bottom Line: The Eagle Creek Switchback Max 22 Pack acts as wheeled luggage, carry-on backpack, and small daypack to adapt to your traveling needs.

I bought my first Switchback Max 22 bag, about 18 months ago. I travel all over the world, so my bag gets plenty of use. The bag has held up very well. It will fit in most airline overheads, as long as you remove the backpack. The main bag has backpack straps, so you can carry it like a backpack or roll it on wheels. If you don't intend on carrying it in the backpack mode, there are cheaper bags, without this option, that will give you a little more room and still fit in the overhead. But if your journeys are like mine, a week in London, before traveling to a ship off of the Cameroun coast, then flying from Africa to a tent camp in Kamchatka Russia, you will appreciate the flexibility of this bag. I recently purchased a Switchback bag for my son, from this site. We are going to meet in Paris this summer to do a bit of touring, so he will get a chance to try his new bag.

I just bought the Switchback 22 because I needed new luggage to take with me on an airplane as a carry on. Now on the website the dimensions say 14 x 22 x 9, just the right size for a carry on. When I measured the Switchback, it was just a little bit bigger that what the website posted. Now I do not know if I should take it with me as carry on. The main reason why I bought this is because I thought I could use it as a carry on.

I carry my SWB 22 on board all the time....I have the new version and you need to remove the daypack before you get on board.

I purchased this system primarily for a 3 week tour of Italy. It allowed me to fly without checked baggage. The main bag is great with lots of room, but no compartments. The day-pack was great for the many day trips in Rome, Tuscany, Pompei, and Cinque Terre. However, the top handle (cloth) of the day-pack pulled out of its stitching after 2 days of use. I haven't contacted anyone about repair or replacement (lifetime warranty?). Overall, I'm glad I purchased this system. I use it quite often for business trips in the states.

Hey, write a Review. Others want your opinion.

I just bought the Switchback 22 because I needed new luggage...

Got a question? Somebody out there has the answer.

Great setup, but...
