The best. I travelled with a similar product before made by Swiss and it was not even close to be as easy and fun like this one. I went to Panama and Egypt with the bag..it's perfect. I use a special pillow to sleep, it fit easily in the bag with all the other things I needed. I will now bring this bag everywhere I go. The straps are great, the bag is very comfortable...it's PERFECT!!! I recommended for everyone....oups I forgot: the best feature: the wheels and the day pack...so great in museum, on sidewalks, etc....The best bag ever!

I've had this luggage for about five years now and it still looks new. I've had the luxury of travelling around the world with this bag, and most recently last week I took this bag with me on vacation. My boyfriend was so impressed with the detachable day bag,that I've begun exploring buying him one. While packing to return from vacation, he placed a bet with me that I would be unable to fit everything into my bag, I proved him wrong. This bag my appear small, but it holds enough for a ten day trip to Europe!

I travel for a living, covering all of the Americas (North, South and Central) along with the Caribbean Islands. Most of the place I go are off the beaten path.
Last year I was on the road for about 85 to 90% of the time. When I first started traveling 5 years ago I would just buy cheaper lugage, which would last me 1 or 2 months (if I was lucky). Finally about 2 years ago I finally got smart and purchased my Eagle Creek ORV Super Truck and Switch back. The thing that sold me was the NO MATTER WHAT damage repair policy. After dragging my bags all over Brazil, Argintina, Trinadad, Mexico, Canada and just about every state in the union it was looking like I was never going to need the damage repair policy.
However between South America buses and airlines all over the Americas they finally took managed to damage my Super Trunk (but it took them 19 months v.s. 1 or 2 months).
I contacted Eagle Creek explained what type of bag I had and that it was damaged, they didn't ask how or anything. They just gave me the information need to send the bag in, 1 1/2 weeks later I received a replacement.
Traveling the way I do, I can easily say that my Eagle Creek bags are the best investment I've made in the last 2 years.
THANKS for such a great product!!

I've been using Eagle Creek products for over the last ten years now. Many of my pieces have traveled over 300,000 miles in almost every continent. Through this all, they have survived pretty much every abuse I've put them through and I am always able to easily pick out my luggage from the crowd. If you are considering Eagle Creek for Business or Pleasure, look no further and you will not be disappointed.

I thanked Eagle Creek EVERY DAY I was out there.

For dashing through Denver or Atlanta airports, or driving cross-country to see the new granddaughter, this is the best way to go! Everything fits in the overheard or under the seat, the daypack allows the "essentials" to be easily accessible. Mine has survived longer than any other suitcase I've ever owned!

I absolutely love the luggage. It expands to what I need yet isn't too heavy to lug around. The removable backpack is a blessing too. Holds a lot yet easy to carry. Now I have to buy one for my boyfriend because he saw the benefits of it!

Best products I ever owned. These bags have been around the world a couple of times and they hold up and I never have to worry that it is my clothes coming around on the baggage carousol. Please keep up the quality. It is the best and I recommend it to my other travel road warriors!

I took a job working in Iraq and my first reaction was to buy Eagle Creek luggage for the intensive travel I would be experiencing. I picked up the Load Warrior as my primary moving unit (taking personal belongings for living overseas). The Switchback was my R&R bag of choice so I always had an option to not check baggage but had something on wheels for long walks at the airport. This luggage has not failed me and looks like new after several trips through Frankfurt, Dubai, Gatwick, and several US airports. However neither bag was working for me when I had to take helicopter rides in the middle of the night for work in outlying areas. The ORV Gear bag was the perfect fit. I needed something I could carry across fields to heli pads (backstraps), was stiff enough to pack semi-organized (dividers are great) but act like a duffle for throwing on top of the passengers laps (no wheels and stiff back), big enough to carry personal needs for several days and needed work gear and laptop, but small enough to put in my lap on the chopper. The abuse it gets: thrown out of choppers, walked on, slept on, swung by any of the numerous holding points, etc. I am thrilled with all of my EC products, but this new addition will probably end up as a favorite. The hardest part will be deciding which bag to use for my 3 week trip to Costa Rica:-)
Thanks Eagle Creek!!

I bought 2 of these bags, one for myself and on for my wife. They were the perfect size to lug around...and fit on a plane when needed. The removal daypack was used everyday to carry our essentials (including camera, passprts, etc) while we bounced around like a typlical tourist on our travels in Africa and London for our recent honeymoon. We debated whether or not to spend the money on "good" luggage or just continue to use the same old stuff we've always used, and I can tell you it was worth every penny. Very glad we purchased the Switchbacks. We'll use it everywhere we go now. The lifetime warranty was also a key selling feature.

I had my older version of the Switchback 22 (sorry cant even remember what it was called since it has been so long ) for over 10 years. As a business traveler I traveled every week and it stood by me without any problems, no zipper problems not even wheel problems.
Unfortunately the airline played "drag the bag through the tarmac" with my suitcase and after 11 years of faithful service I have to retire it (although after that trauma the major damage is a hole). With a heavy heart I am letting go and looking forward to my new Eagle Creek Suitcase. (Although I may still send the old one to see if it can be repaired...it is that good). If you want a good quality long lasting product look no further.

Hello, we've just arrived home in the UK after a year circumnavigating the globe with our three small children. I wanted to write and say that we have tried and tested 2 of your Switchback ES Max and an ORV trunk through 29 countries, 5 continents and 60,000 miles (try that with a 4 year old!) They are fantastic, we would recommend them to anyone - and frequently do. Check out the great picture of us and our gear on Moscow train station, which made it into today's Times newspaper in the UK (along with most other UK newspapers). Keep up the good work Eagle Creek.
All the best

I was stuck. I was alone, save our toddler, and stuck with a car seat, two carry on's, two checked bags, a stroller, and in a foreign airport. Okay, so it wasn't really 'foreign', it was just Salt Lake City, but it was certainly foreign to me and I could NOT get the (so-called) Smarte Cart our of the rack. There was no way I could possibly get all this stuff from baggage claim to the taxi stand in one trip. I would have to shuttle it all, leaving, at some point, some pieces of luggage unattended. Then I remembered my Switchback's backpack straps. I quickly whipped 'em out, donned the Switchback like a backpack, loaded up the stroller with our toddler, loaded up the other rolling bag with the carry-on's and was able to move out to the taxi stand - ferrying it all in one trip. If it hadn't been for the versatile Switchback, I could have been hosed. I've now taken this bag to Brazil, Iceland, Maine, and on numerous family trips. It's so versatile and dependable that I've been able to use the backpack for day hikes, not worried about checking glass and other delicate gifts when packed in the hard-sided main compartment, and even used it for the toughest duty of them all: organizing diapers, wipes, toys, outfits, night-night books, and more for our toddler. Overall, a superior bag, whether you're headed to Iceland or just stuck in the Salt Lake City airport.

I am an Eagle Creek person, period! One day a week is dedicated to urban adventure in San Diego. I ride the Coaster to the downtown area, hop on a trolley to Mexico, take a ferry to Coronado, a bus to Balboa Park...etc...I explore..... I am literally on my feet all day, hours at a time. I experimented with many packs before choosing the "Boundary." The weight rests on my hips, and my shoulders do not ache, either that day or the days after. My back is ventilated all day resulting in my comfort. I own 3 Boundaries, and fill them with cubes of various sizes.
Looped through the belt of my pack is an Eagle Creek wallet. I keep a credit card, cash, and train tickets in front, for ease and accessibility. This system of "wallet in the front," at waist level, allows me to keep the pack on all day.
I am a female baby boomer in my late fifties. With this system, I don't come home crippled after each trip. It is in fact, this system, that allows me to be as active as I am on a continuing basis.
During the rest of the week, I load my laptop and camera equipment, plus padded cubes with MP3 and tape recorder, into my Switchback 22. I wheel it discretely, into restaurants in North San Diego County, and do my work from this system, drinking tea, gazing at the ocean, watching pelicans soaring overhead, having all of my equipment at my fingertips.
If I need to photograph something, I load my camera gear into my Eagle Creek Camera bag, and head outdoors.
Everything is light...and looks good!
I lift all, easily, into my car. We boomers at middle age, love and appreciate your products.
I carry something of Eagle Creek with me at all times. Even my purse is organized with cubes. And for serious adventure, well, I have the women's Explorer.
I value your products, have seriously tested them on myself, and I am touched by your integrity to your customers.
Lastly, I grew up in New York, (the city), and am part of a manufactoring/designing family. I have had access to a wealth of products since childhood, a universe of products. I have chosen Eagle Creek for myself, and this is the best endorsement that I can offer you. Thank you for positively affecting my life..

I love the Switchback Max ES22! I've taken over 6 trips with it and have found it durable, convenient, and lightweight. I've also learned to pack better as a result. I'm a Buddhist priest--the Pack It Folder works perfectly to keep my robes neat and well protected. Between the Switchback and packing solutions items, I've become a lean, mean, traveler. I also use the guide bag 24-7 now, there's no substitute for the roominess and ease of use! Thanks for making my life easier!
