Eagle Creek Eco Friendly ORV Trunk Luggage

Traveling this winter?   Whether you are heading out for the holidays or for winter activities, Eagle Creek's ORV is a great pick.  Winter travel is bulkier, you have sweaters, coats, boots and generally more stuff.  This bag can hold it all, and some gear too.

The ORV is part of the Eagle Creek e-series luggage which uses recycled and post consumer materials.  It comes in three sizes, up to a 30 inch tall bag, which is very large.  That means it can hold long gear like snow shows, trekking poles, and the like.  There is a compartment which is separate from the main compartment, so you can put dirty clothes or damp gear in there and still keep the rest of your stuff clean.

The mesh divider in the middle is collapsable if you need the space for large gear, and I like the organizational bonus of the divider.  You can put heavier stuff on the bottom and lighter items in the top section.  Eagle Creek's packing cubes would come in handy for smaller things like socks and underwear.

Two zippered pockets on the front make for quick access to things like tickets, maps, and anything you need to have handy.  The wheels are big and great for more rough terrain like unpaved road and snowy walkways, and the pull handle is comfortable and pops up and back down easily.  There are grab handles all over this bag, making it easy to load and unload in a variety of positions.  Zipper pulls are big chunky loops, the zippers glide smoothly, and external zippers are lockable.   

All four corners of the bag are reinforced to withstand the rigors of bag belts and baggage handlers and other precarious positions a bag made for adventure might wind up in.  Eagle Creek offers a No Matter What Warranty which means they will fix or replace your bag any time anywhere.

This bag comes in different colors and sizes to meet your needs, I think it would be awesome to have a set, or color code for family members.  If you need adventure luggage, be sure to check out the ORV Trunk collection.  Find it HERE.

Gear Up for Summer Travel Part 1: Luggage

Did you know there is an eco friendly luggage option that is made from 100% recycled fabrics?  Eagle Creek has come out with the perfect green wheelie bag suitcase for Summer travel, the TARMAC.  It comes in different sizes, but for flying, I like the 22" so you can carry it on and avoid fees and inconveniences.  This suitcase holds so much stuff, you won't believe it's a carry on, and if you are bringing treasures back from your trip (and who doesn't), the main compartment expands to hold your new loot.

Eagle Creek is known for organization, and they are masters.  Organization abounds in this bag and it really helps to simplify packing which can be somewhat stressful at times.  I'd use this bag for a two week or a two month trip. 

The Tarmac comes in different colors, I always prefer black for my gear but I was pleasantly surprised to find a sienna orange interior which I thought was a very pleasing design touch.  It's a great looking piece of luggage.

There are two mesh zipper pockets inside, and behind those, a large zippered pocket.  There are compression straps with panels to help keep stuff down while avoiding wrinkles straps can cause.  The carry handle is comfortable and heavy duty and I love the beefy zipper pulls--they're over sized and coated with rubber to make access a breeze. 

There are two outer pockets for easy access.  The smaller one would be appropriate for your zip lock baggie of 3oz liquids which you have to remove for TSA inspection, and the larger pocket would work great for magazines, electronics, a shawl or sweater for the plane, etc.  The bag has a handy toggle to attach another bag or purse.  There are multiple grab handles and reinforcement at the critical spots to help decrease wear and protect your bag.

Eagle Creek offers a No Matter What guarantee and will fix or replace your bag anytime anywhere. I appreciate their commitment to quality products eliminating the need continually repurchase luggage thus adding to landfills.  The Tarmac is a practical, good looking, organized and eco friendly to boot.  I highly recommend it for Summer (or any season) travel.  Find it HERE.
