This bag would be absolutely perfect if the Backpack straps were detachable. I mean if you know you're not going to use them on a trip, say a short business haul, then the ability to leave them at home to spare the weight/bulk would be a nice feature. But overall it looks like a great bag. I have also read online that Eaglecreek guarantees their bags for life. People have said they lost a wheel on a 10 year old bag, sent it in and EC just replaced it.

This comment is spot on. The backpack straps are a complete waste of valuable interior space in a roller carry-on. The entire reason for a roller is so you can put it on the ground and roll it behind you (I am older and am not interested in putting the weight of my carry-on on my back). To me this two-wheeled bags with its heavier, durable back wheels is perfect, except for the straps. I know they have a spinner four-wheeled, strapless version, but the two-wheeled version is a better option (except for the straps), at least for me. And at over $400, buying it and cutting off the straps is not appealing. Like Ragnar said, detachable straps would make this bag perfect. Eagle Creek makes great products, maybe future versions will make the straps detachable.

I agree with all this! The straps are on the exterior so they don't compromise interior space BUT I hear you on not needing that feature. It's a really specific-use case .

@@bhaz - Actually I just ordered and received the bag. I think I'm going to return it. It looks well made but it is smaller than I thought it would be and the backpack straps add a lot of bulk. I actually took an old carry on and with two backpack straps and 4 carabiners made my own backpack. It was easy to do. My straps detach and I really don't need a hip belt. I can throw my backpack straps and carabiners in the front pocket and wheel it when I need to or my bag becomes a backpack for those times when you need to climb cobblestone steps in Europe. I just saved myself $365 dollars.

@@rayaveney8748 Surprisingly light, considering it has all the extra straps. Bascially the same as a 4-wheel spinner in terms of weight. You might be able to see one in person at an REI or outdoor store to see for sure.

I just got the bag, thank you for this review! May I ask you which backpack (the black one) did you use in this video and attached it to the gear warrior?

This bag is on my short list for a trip to Germany. Some mixed info by Eagle Creek themselves on the size have me unsure though. Site says one thing and an employee says another. Would this fit as an international carry-on with a limit of 9 inches depth? I'm guessing the site and employee difference may come from testing at "stuffed" capacity. I'm sure the compressibility of being soft-side would give some leeway.

Hmmm. I think the issue is where to measure b/c the backpack straps make the compartment poke out a little bit which could make the bag seem deeper or "thicker" so that might be the confusion.

It's roughly 20x14x10. Their website says 22x14x10 (or x12 expanded). They are being generous it is more like 20 inches. It's a great bag, don't get me wrong, but smaller then the website makes it out to be.
