I've noticed that many people on these forums tend to prefer the Eagle Creek bags, and of all the bags they sell, I think the Voyage 65L would be most ideal for my month-long trip through Europe. I was wondering if anybody has used this bag before and what their thoughts and opinions about it were. Thank you! the bag can be found at: www.eaglecreek.com/10051.html |

desielmo4, I haven't used that particular Pack but I imagine it's much the same as my Continental Journey in many ways. It looks like a good size for Backpacking and has great features such as a detachable Daypack and a stow-away Harness. They have thoughtfully posted the torso range of the Pack so make sure it fits the size of your torso.
One point that I don't necessarily agree with is their claim that the Pack is "Carry-on legal for most airlines". This may be theoretically possible, but in reality it's not going to work. Once the pack is loaded it will either be too large or too heavy (or both) to fit in the overhead bins, and even if it was possible to fit underneath the seat there wouldn't be any room for your feet (believe me, you need room to move your legs around on long flights!).
If possible, find a shop in your area that stocks the Pack and try it out fully loaded for an hour or two. This will give you a good idea if it's going to work for you.
Good luck and happy travels!!!
