Awesome Pack

By Ranked #50 - Rolling Gear Bags January 20, 2009

Got this pack at a deep discount, but in retrospect, I probably would have paid full price for it. The front removable backpack leaves a little to be desired. It is a good size and shape, relatively comfortable, but as stated in other posts, it can be a pain to get into due to the zipper location. However, I understand the logic behind it, so I can deal with it. The size is perfect for a week long trip. The wheels are amazing. One thing I find absurdly helpful is that even when this pack is fully loaded down with my junk, it won't fall over. The balance is great.
Additionally, the airport gate-nazis will let this pack (minus the front backpack) pass as a carry-on.

One disadvantage I've found is that there are a lot of pockets. Personally, I'd rather have one large storage space, but this pack has several (somewhat hidden) pockets that I tend to lose my stuff in. But some people like all the pockets for organizational purposes. To each his own, I suppose.
