 Rick Steve's convertible carryon luggage August 9, 2010
rln
Bought two of these nifty carry-on luggage; one for me and one for my son. We just returned from two weeks in Europe and, as Rick Steves would say, we literally lived out of these pieces of luggage. Generally I have no complaints. They are roomy enough to carry what I needed for two weeks of travel, though when full are a bit on the heavy side to wear as a backpack. The side-zipper "hidden" pocket was especially useful for stowing away my file folder with all of our maps and reservation printouts. The upper zippered large pocket was good for stowing my "Liberator" extension cord and the ever useful Rick Steves braided clotheslines.
My only concern is with the design of the cinch-down straps on the outside of the luggage. I had no problems, but I would feel better if they were attached in a way that minimized the strain on the zipper of the main compartment when the luggage was packed full and worn as a backpack. I am afraid with more use that the strain may prove to be too much for those zippers because the cinch-down straps do not include the zipper area.
 Good idea, made on the cheap August 5, 2010

I have had the same issues with this bag as others, I am now looking at the osprey 46 or the lowe alpine tt 40 carry on. I do not want to be stranded on my vacation with a bunch of broken bags.
I have had two of his backpacks where the zippers pulls just split in two and the bag becomes useless. One was already a replacement from them. The bag does work, it just has cheap zipper pulls on them that break. I have also had 3 of the zipper pull tabs just disappear while on my trips.
Done with his products.
perfect for traveling light July 10, 2010

This convertible carry-on is perfect. I will use it for all my travels from now on!
It was much lighter and more versatile than those huge camping backpacks we saw other travellers straining under! Of course, we weren't camping, but it was very freeing. Don't get me wrong you still need to be aware of how much weight you want on your back, but it's really amazing how much stuff you can pack into these little gems. Rick Steves delivers what he promises (including the shoulder strap which was a nice surprise) and so does this company. We got our shipment on time to use these on our travels. I would order from this company again.
Very lightweight backpack July 6, 2010

Nice light backpack with lots of space. The only problem I had was that the zipper has a tendency to get caught in the fabric sometimes. Note that it doesn't have wheels, but that keeps the weight down.
Worthy bag June 24, 2010

I have only taken a couple trips with this but it is working out well. Love being able to grab it by one of the handles, but then quickly sling it over my back for hand's free, comfortable transport.
Lot's of convenient pockets, zippered pouches and storage areas. Light weight without seeming non-durable -- but time will tell here.
Would like to have better/easier straps stowage for when they are not in use -- they tend to catch on things.
Good, thoughtfully designed product.
