Product Features

This 2 piece set is the perfect travel companion for the efficient traveler. A carry-on size wheeled duffel and a laptop briefcase.

Mother Lode Mini Duffel:

Measures 21.5" x 14.5" x 9.5" and weighs 7 lbs, 13 oz.

Large upper main compartment measures 21" x 14" x 4.5" and has the following features:

Full-size U-shaped zippered opening for easy loading. Opening measures 13.5" x 11"

#10 heavy-duty nylon coil zipper with lock-ready sliders

Zippered mesh pocket under the lid is pleated and measures 12" x 10.5"

Fold-up "wings" on two interior walls provide amazing rigidity, providing shape and stability, allowing the bag to stand upright

Two tie-down sinch straps to secure packed contents

Nose-load zippered end pocket with a floating back wall - if you need to over-pack the interior, the wall compresses into the end compartment. 14" x 5" x 5"

Four-point center-grab handles are X-box stitch and bar-tac reinforced. Hook & loop padded handle wrap

Lower compartment measures 21" x 14" x 4.5" and has the following features:

Padded perimeter walls that allow oddly shaped items some flexibility when packing.

One moveable "shelf" gives you total freedom to pack and secure your belongings the way you want to:

1) Perpendicular to the floor, preventing contents from shifting from end-to-end and crushing delicate items

2) Parallel to the floor, allowing ample room for longer items

Zippered pocket in the ceiling of the lower compartment – perfect for delicate clothing, maps, etc. 18” x 13”

Access the lower compartment easily via a #10 heavy-duty nylon coil zipper with lock-ready sliders

If this bag is still not big enough for you, unzip the floor that divides the upper/lower section, roll it up, then secure it in place with the two tie-down straps. Now you have one extra-large compartment measuring 21" x 14" x 9.5"

Handles on both ends allow two-handed trunk-styled lifting into vehicles

Recessed, locking telescoping trolley handle extends to a maximum length of 46"

Privacy-mesh ID pocket on the bottom is sized to hold a business card

Full-length skid rails on the bottom

Recessed authentic inline skate wheels are hot-poured polyurethane - the quietest wheels on the concourse

Four points of contact with the ground help prevent the Mother Lode Mini from falling forward when upright

Interior is fully lined with high visibility burnt orange 210-denier nylon - finding small things are easier

Firewall Laptop Briefcase:

Measures 16" x 12" x 8" and weighs 3 lbs, 10 oz.

Front zippered pocket. 15" wide, 10" high

U-zip organizer compartment tips forward without "dumping"

Storage pockets for pens, business cards, jewel cases (or large PDA's), a hold-secure cell-phone pocket, small zippered mesh pocket, and a key leash to keep your keys where you can find them

A rigid stiffener separates the organizer panel from a 15.5" wide slash pocket. Accessories stay where you put them, versus slumping to the bottom of the bag

A 15" wide soft pocket opposite the organizer panel is perfect for oddly sized essentials

Quick access to the laptop compartment via a diagonally offset zipper (perfect for airport security). The compartment unzips fully when total access is needed

Padded laptop sleeve measures 13.5" wide, 2" deep, 11" tall. There's also a removable padded "shim" for shorter laptops

Four "hi-low" pouch pockets. Each pocket measures 7" wide. Two are 9" tall, two are 6.5" tall to ensure that all of your cables, power supplies, external drives etc., don't end up all piled up on the bottom of the bag

Additional padding on the bottom of the laptop compartment provides added protection to odd-sized accessories

Flip-over top panel for easy access to the entire laptop compartment

File folder compartment has three separate file sections. Zippers are full-length and have an anti-dumping gusset feature

Rear section has a full-width pocket (15.5" wide) with a hook & loop closure

Additional pass-thru pocket when you need to stack it on a roll-aboard. The bottom of the pass-thru pocket zips closed, providing an 8" wide pocket that's perfect for a book

Two zippered "hip pockets" – one with padding, the other with a drop-bottom mesh pouch designed to hold a water bottle

Privacy-mesh ID pocket

Self-repairing coil zippers with photo-reflective sport cords for night-time safety

Zippers are sewn "inside-out" for a sleek, clean look

Carry handles have a padded, rigid tube providing the most comfortable strain-free grip available. You'll be amazed at how comfortable these handles are, especially when the bag is overloaded

Removable shoulder strap has a contoured non-skid shoulder pad and super-strong clip. Shoulder strap lugs are box-x stitched and rivet-reinforced

High-visibility orange nylon lining makes finding things a lot easier

High contrast 2-Tone nylon is a cross-weave of brilliant color, and black

	Date Posted: November 4, 2009 Reviewed By: Karen from Dayton, WY Review of eBags Value Set: Mother Lode Mini + Firewall Brief "We purchased the Firewall bag as a companion to the eBags Mother Lode Mini for carry-on purposes, and just used it on a vacation across country where we needed to make two layovers. We liked the feature where the Firewall bag slips over the handle of the rolling luggage piece, although due to the weight of our laptop and two hefty books/manuals, it was top-heavy and would fall over if unattended. The Firewall has numerous storage spaces, zippered pockets, many storage options. All in all, we liked the appearance and function of this laptop briefcase, and would recommend it."

	Date Posted: February 9, 2009 Reviewed By: Anonymous Customer from St. Louis, MO Review of eBags Value Set: Mother Lode Mini + Firewall Brief 4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. "Very sturdy bag, lots of internal divisions. I was using this bag to carry a 15" MacBook Pro. The handle(s) could use a strap to keep the two halves together. More importantly, the bag is designed to slide over handle of a rolling bag (which is why I was interested in the bag in the first place), but the "sleeve" that slides over the handle is sealed with velcro. The velcro closure interferes with easily sliding the bag on and off of an extended rolling bag handle and in my opinion should be removed. The sleeve also seems to catch on seams while being slid over a handle, too, making the operation more painful than it has to be. There could also be a bit more slack in this sleeve as I found it a challenge to quickly slide the thing on and off. Robust bag in general, though." Was this review helpful to you?
