Eagle Creek Explorer Trek LT - 06

Advantages: Versatile, Very accurate marketing by company,
Disadvantages: Have to search the Uk to find stackists. Can buy online but I have not tried this yet.

...Calling all travellers, have you heard about Eagle Creek. The product is even better than the company says. I didnt choose this product it chose me as winner in a competition. It is by far the best, most versatile product i have ever owned. As a dedicated Samsonite user up until now I just have to sing the praises of Eagle Creek. I recently took this item through the jungles of Venezuela a tough test for any luggage. The Switchback stood up brilliantly. Waterproof, dustproof, brilliant styling, strong and yet very lightweight. The product is like a "Tardis" hidden pockets some with zips, all over the place. My husband and I managed to get all items for 3 changes daily 2 people 2 weeks into this item and there was still room for a few more. ( we like to travel light- not).

...BEWARE: full of bikers stuff. A long long time ago I was an avid mountain bike fan. There were times when I was covering over 100 miles a day and clearing 10000 miles a year. So I ran quality bike s that would get me around quickly and with minimal effort. I was a cycle courier for a time whilst I decided what to do with myself and on starting a career jib stopped cycling and eventually sold my expensive bikes on. About 3 years ago I bought a Trek 8000 mountain bike. I bought this in a sale for £1100 pounds. I did my home work and came up with the 8000 as a good all round cross country bike that would give me all I needed for a lot less than I used to pay. FRAME. My bike has to be big as I am 6'3". So I opted for the largest I could get. They come in various sizes in inches which your local supplier can advise you on, which... Read review
