Reviews

Do not check the Bag- Carry On Only

"2nd time I used the bag I Checked it at the airport and the front of the bag was covered in scuff marks and abrasions when I got it back. I was able to get some of them off, but the front of the bag is still scratched/top layer worn off in places and has rubber marks from other wheels. I like the bag overall, but I would never check it again and exclusively use it as a carry on (even then it got scuff marks despite being gentle with it, but not as bad as it was when checked). Disappointed at how easily it showed wear after 2 uses."

Love all our Eagle Creek

"Love all our Eagle Creek Luggage and this new addition is no exception. Well made, sturdy, functional and just the right size for our short trip needs. Wonder gear"

— Gene T. (5/5)

Cargo Hauler

"The bag is just the right size for carry on and is made of great materials. Haven't taken my trip yet but will be taking it to Africa in September"

— Paul G. (5/5)

Great find!

"I purchased the cargo hauler for a safari which had storage limitations. It is a very durable piece and I love the color."

— Kristal W. (5/5)

Light weight durable compact !

"The lightest wheeled bag I ever owned . I haven’t used it on the international Flight test but I hope it fits…and it should according to the research !I will have to pack a little less than normal But should be enough for a week long trip with an additional small Backpack for extras:)"

— Lisa G. (5/5)

All about carrying options!

"I bought this bag specifically for the international sizing and the option of backpack straps that are opposite the wheel side of the bag. I've had other bags with backpack straps above the wheels, and then the wheels get my clothes dirty if I need to carry it that way. I love the quality of Eagle Creek products and the warranty the company offers."

— Life P. (5/5)

Very happy with this bag!

"We’ve taken this bag all over and find it perfect for light-weight international travel. I prefer a roller but there have been times, like navigating to our 500 stair hotel in Sorrento Italy, where the backpack straps have been a lifesaver. I use the eagle creek packing cubes and can just fit what I need. Also love tht Eagle Creek has a lifetime repair warranty on their products in case anything breaks- great company overall."

— Oliva (5/5)

Good Duffle

"Good wheeled duffle for an international carry-on. I just mail used it for a 30 day trip and I really liked the compact size. However, I found the backpack straps took up a significant amount of space and their storage location negatively impacts the length of the main compartment, making the packing space shorter. The straps are not detachable and I am considering cutting them off if I can get some capacity back."

— Matt K. (4/5)

Excellent

"I needed something versatile for traveling with kids. The backpack feature was a real game changer. Everything gets so compact with the various straps that I wasn't worried about the bag not qualifying as a carry on feels very durable and I look forward to a lifetime using this bag."

— Emily H. (5/5)

Nice light bag

"This is my third Eagle Creek bag and I currently also have the Gear Warrior XE 2-Wheel Carry-On. While I love the Gear Warrior, it's a much heavier bag. The Cargo Hauler will be nice for shorter trips. Love them both"

— Stephani H. (5/5)

Q&A

Does this bag have a laptop sleeve?
It does not have a laptop sleeve
Can the backpack straps be removed or hidden?
Thank you for your question! The backpack straps cannot be removed, but they can be tucked away in a small zippered compartment at the top of the straps. There is a photo pictured on this product page of them partially tucked into the zipped pocket for additional context.
