eBags eTech 2.0 Mother Lode Mini 21" Wheeled Duffel 

"Haven't used this yet, but from the looks of it and the helpful video this should stash enough stuff for a week to 10 days. It is light weight and I love the orange interior, easy to "see stuff" in it. I do like the out side pocket as well. The only addition I would make is it needs a handle on the side of the bag. Other than that I think it will be terrific. I spoke with a very knowledgeable eBags Rep on the phone for quite a while and this is what she suggested based on my needs. I think she was right!"

"I own the earlier version of the eTech Mother Lode Mini 21". It's an incredible little bag, read the reviews. For reasons unclear to me, the 2.0 version is 200 cu inches smaller. If I envision a space 10 by 10 by 2 inches that's a lot less packing space. It's a deal breaker to me. I wanted to buy some of the previous style for gifts, but now I'll be looking for something else."

"really like this bag - don't really use the "shelf" feature though. Lots of room, holds more than I realize. Appreciate the handle that lets you pick it up like a duffle"

"Much roomier than you initially think. Four days of clothes with an extra pair of shoes -- no problem"

"Like someone else, I doubted it would hold much until I loaded it for my first trip with the new bag. After I loaded it, I pulled out my old bag, a "normal" carry on, and all the stuff wouldn't fit! I love this bag!"

"This bag is simple and spacious. I don't need a lot of little pockets because I bring everything in its own container -- clothes cubes, toiletry bag, computer bag, etc. -- and I often switch bags depending on the length of the trip. This bag did well on a week-long trip to China."

"I have an eBags backpack that I love, so I wanted to try one of the suitcases. I travel internationally for a living and needed a carry on that wasn't too big or too heavy, and that could be checked if necessary. I have had one airline (that shall remain nameless!) destroy 4 suitcases in 18 months so durability is very important and I liked eBags guarantee. The bag is unique where suitcases are concerned in the way it is designed. It is flexible and can be customized for your use, but it doesn't work as I would like it to. I needed a place for the laptop and liquids bag that were easy to get to and the top half of this bag doesn't work for that although the small compartment on the front works for the liquids. The ribs in the back of the bag are huge and although the idea of the removable shelf in the middle is a good one, they take up a lot of room especially if you aren't packing small rollable items. The entendable handle is great if you're tall, but I find that I have to extend it all the way first until it locks, and then collapse it to get it the right height for me (its too long and am I 5ƍ"!). The handle on the front of the bag is kind of strange, and doesn't help at all when trying to load it in the overhead compartment. I guess that is the "duffel bag" part of it, but because the back is solid, it is very awkward to try and carry by that handle anyway. The bag is nicely made and an interesting design, but I wouldn't purchase it again."

"Very pleased. Surprised at how much it accommodated while keeping a trim profile. Construction is very sturdy. Happy with the decision."

"It seems like a great bag."

"It is exactly what I was looking for."
