Eagle Creek Travel Gear Hovercraft 30 Duffel Review

I bought this for my husband for a trip to Italy. It held 2 weeks worth of clothes and weighed in fully loaded at 48 lbs so I didn't have to juggle things around. My other case was too big and fully loaded topped out at 57 lbs so I had to pare down and then the case wasn't fully packed so things shifted around. In this day it is entirely possible for a suitcase to be too big. This is perfect. Right size to not exceed weight limits fully loaded, just squeaking by under the 50 lb mark. (I won't give those airline vultures one nickle in luggage fees!) Very well constructed. They manage to make it both solid yet light weight. Sturdy handles and just a big open space inside. Suits my needs perfectly. Looks good too, and came home from the trip looking none the worse for the airline's handling of it.

Need a good pack for your three-week trip to the mountains? Look no further than the Eagle Creek Hovercraft 30 duffel, which offers a book-style opening for easy packing and unpacking. The Hovercraft 30 offers a generous 6,100 cubic inches of storage space, more than enough for a bunch of clothing and gear. As a result, you don't have to bring along separate bags to haul your stuff. Storage is divided between a sizable main compartment and a handy lower compartment that lets you separate your shoes from your clean clothes. And to help you get from point A to B, Eagle Creek added HC2 oversized off-road wheels for a smooth ride over varied terrain, along with an ergonomic, retractable handle system. You can also carry the bag via the top, center, and bottom handles.
The Hovercraft 30 is built tough, with a rugged skid plate and corner bumpers that combine to protect against urban obstacles. Other details include a convenient laundry chute that's accessible from the exterior; two-way lockable zippers on the main compartments; interior and exterior compression straps; and a front slip-away luggage tag and color accents throughout to help identify your bag. Compatible with Eagle Creek's Pack-It organizing system, the Hovercraft 30 measures 17 by 30 by 12 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7 pounds 12 ounces.

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Hovercraft 28 Upright Luggage Review

I have used Eagle Creek bags for a number of years, and have been very pleased with their durability and functionality. Normally I travel with a smaller Eagle Creek bag, but I bought this bag for an upcoming long (three week) trip that involves a wide variety of activities (e.g. hiking, formal events, city travel). I was looking for a bag with a large, open packing space (which this bag has), that offers a lot of flexibility for packing.
I recently used it for two of us on a shorter trip just to ensure that it would work in terms of size, smooth rolling, zippers working well, etc. It worked great, and I have no complaints. I expect that I will be able to pack most, if not all, of the items that two of us will need for the longer trip.
One concern that I had was that it would be easy to over-pack in terms of airline weight limits. I was pleasantly surprised on my recent trip to find the total weight (not expanded, and not "stuffed") to be 35 pounds - well within the weight limit allowed by the airline.
One caveat: I purchased this in "crush" (orange), because that color was on sale. The upside to this color is that it was very easy to spot among the checked bags when we arrived. The downside is that it picked up some dirty marks after only one trip (four flight segments). Personally, I use luggage to get my items where they are going, so it was not an issue for me. However, if you want to keep your bag looking newer, you probably should choose a darker color.
