"Everything you need and nothing you don't" - Review of Eagle Creek Big Rig 36 - 7500 cu in

I ordered a Big Rig 30 and 36 because a friend used them to carry his personal stuff during Navy deployments and recommended them for my trip to Antarctica. They survived my trip on commercial airlines (including whatever adventures they had while lost and delayed), military aircraft, and being dragged through ice and gravel on the continent with grace and good looks. Minus telescoping handles and any internal dividers, they were light enough to allow me to make weight requirements, but they were still easy to deal with as rolling luggage. There is a nice pocket to stow your ID tag and I found the handles convert well into straps so that the duffel can be carried like a backpack over ground that isn't suitable for rolling - this turned out to be very useful for me. My main complaint is that there was no handle on the wheels-side of the bag. At times I needed to lift the duffel up and put in the back of a truck or some other raised platform. It would have been easier to hoist it up by both ends, except for the missing handle on one side. I will probably sew one on for this purpose. Overall, both Big Rigs worked well for me.
