Right Stuff for City Travel

By dmutix Ranked #605 - Luggage October 28, 2008

Got this travel tote/pack for trip to Europe and must say that I'm impressed. Though the ripstop material is thin, it seems very strong -- stronger than packable ripstop duffles that I've had (and these have survived incredible beatings during sailing trips).

The tote handles are wide and well fastened. The backpack straps hide away -- very hidden and flat -- they're thin but wide enough to be comfortable as long as the load isn't huge. The bottom is made of more rugged material than the ripstop as would be appropriate.

The whole tote/pack rolls up into a bundle a bit over 12" long and less than 3" round -- probably tighten down to 2" with a couple of compression straps.

Photos don't make this obvious, but the top does indeed have a zipper which runs down the center of a cover which is set down in the opening slightly -- so along with the draw string this would be pretty secure for city travel.

I got the black and it looks pretty cool, but just be aware that the ripstop has a *very* "wet look" finish.
