Travelling can be enough of a mental and physical workout without having to heave your luggage around. To keep you going when you’re on the move, we’ve put a pair of smooth rolling wheels on the bottom of this panel loading bag. And, if the road less travelled leads to more rugged terrain, just pull out the hideaway shoulder straps and keep on trucking. As an added bonus, there is a fully functional removable daypack that attaches to the main bag. It has a zippered top pocket that’s perfect for sunglasses and other valuables. Please note: Check with your airline's carry-on size restrictions to see if you will meet them when wearing the removable backpack and toting the main bag. If the daypack is fully loaded and attached to the main bag, it will likely be too large.

Q.} Do I have to get my girlfriend a women's-specific backpack if her torso size fits a men's one? Do the shoulder strap position and waist belt flare really matter and do you wear a women’s-specific backpack?
Submitted by: Miguel - Detroit, MI
A.} No, Miguel, you don’t necessarily have to get your girlfriend a women’s specific pack. I often wear men’s or unisex packs with great success. And I know small men who have had luck with women’s packs. Forget about the gender labels and look at the pack itself, and the way it works with your girlfriend’s body shape.
