Eagle Creek

Innovative Luggage from the Californian Label Eagle Creek

Eagle Creek offers interesting suitcases and backpacks in rather subdued designs. The company, based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, was founded in 1975. The Eagle Creek luggage is practically designed and very durable. The manufacturer places great importance on environmentally friendly production and takes responsibility for a cleaner future with the "EVERYSTEP" concept. In addition to its involvement in environmental protection projects, the manufacturer uses recycled and Bluesign-certified materials. The product packaging consists of at least 70% recycled waste.

What Luggage Does Eagle Creek Offer?

The manufacturer's product portfolio is very extensive. It includes:

• Eagle Creek suitcases & trolleys, including 2- and 4-wheel suitcases
• Eagle Creek travel bags
• Eagle Creek backpacks in various versions
• Cabin luggage
• Flight covers
• Wallets
• Toiletry & cosmetic bags
• Business luggage
• Travel accessories

The Eagle Creek travel bags are among our bestsellers due to their special features and versatility.

Eagle Creek Travel Bags

For trips of various lengths, Eagle Creek travel bags come in different sizes. They range from 35 to 73 cm, with many options in between. The shapes are also very varied. The company offers both conventional carrying bags and mini-trolleys with a backpack function. One example would be the Cargo Hauler XT 2, which runs on two wheels but can also be comfortably worn as a backpack. It looks small, but depending on how it’s packed, it can hold between 31 and 40 liters. The largest Eagle Creek travel bag, however, can hold up to 100 liters. Despite its size, it only weighs 1.19 kg, making it very light for its volume. It features reflectors and a protected zipper. The specific dimensions of this Eagle Creek travel bag, which can also be worn as a backpack, are 73 x 37 x 32 cm.

Eagle Creek Suitcases

Many Eagle Creek suitcases are soft luggage or hybrids, such as the cabin trolley Gear Warrior, which runs on two wheels. Unlike other manufacturers, Eagle Creek does not use hard-shell designs, keeping costs and weight low without sacrificing protection too much. This is made possible by clever construction: suitcases like the Expanse feature a very strong expansion zipper that not only increases the volume from 105 to 119 liters, but also absorbs a lot of kinetic energy from potential mechanical impacts (falls, pressure, etc.) like the crumple zone of a car. Travelers choosing an Eagle Creek suitcase should just remember to pack smartly. Clothes should go in the outer areas, and fragile items should go in the middle. Then, nothing will happen during the trip.

Eagle Creek Backpacks

There are also some special features with the Eagle Creek backpacks: very often, they are designed as backpack trolleys, meaning they run on two wheels. However, Eagle Creek also offers traditional carrying backpacks, such as the Tour Travel model with 55 liters of capacity and a laptop compartment. As with the suitcases and travel bags, Eagle Creek gives its backpacks imaginative names. The individual lines are called:

• Gear Warrior
• Tour Travel
• Wayfinder
• Pack-It Org
• Explore Transit
• Ranger

The backpacks are suitable for very specific purposes. Some complement travel and cabin luggage, but the Ranger model was likely designed specifically for trekking. It measures 30 x 25.5 x 55 cm, holds between 31 and 40 liters depending on the packing, and weighs only 0.68 kg, thanks to its polyester and nylon materials. The backpack features an ergonomically designed back system with special padding, a hip belt, carry handles, and, of course, exterior pockets and zippered compartments. Just by looking at it, we can imagine you could hike with it for a long time.
