Eagle Creek

Expanse 2Wheeled 105L Gear Bag

Beware of the color you choose

Love our Eagle Creek luggage especially with all of its zippered storage pockets but…Just a warning to anyone purchasing any bag in a light color (such as the yellow, khaki or green). My husband wanted the lighter color and even though I warned him about it showing the dirt he insisted. One direct round trip to Ireland and his bag came back off the plane(s) filthy! The airlines and airport baggage carousels don’t care how they treat passengers luggage. Needless to say, he didn’t want to use it anymore because of the way it looked. FYI…I ended up finding a laundry bar soap called Zote figuring what do I have to lose trying to restore it. Scrubbed it with a stiff brush and the soap several times, air drying it in the sun and it looks as good as new. Now he’ll only use it for car traveling (too big for carry-on) as one time on a plane and it will be filthy again.

Used only once. Not as

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used only once. Not as strong as my old Eagle creek suitcase.

Family bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this bag to make packing the car/flying/taking the train easier with our family of 5 (3 young children). We have successfully used this single bag for clothing for all 5 of us (in EC packing cubes) on three 2-5 night trips. The extender was great to give a little extra room on the way home and it held up nicely on the train and metro and carting it a mile from the station to our hotel in the driving rain. I’d highly recommend this bag if it’s space and durability you’re looking for.

Major disappointment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Expanse seems to have been designed by someone who doesn’t travel very often. I chose this bag to replace a Tarmac, which was a very good piece of luggage. Great design and thoughtful layout. However, the Expanse bag is a very poor substitute for the Tarmac, especially for someone like me who makes 6-8 international trips per year. The Expanse is not designed well, has a poor layout, and cheaply made. It lacks usable storage pockets on the front cover, lacks the mesh pockets on the wall of the interior and lacks sturdiness. It definitely isn’t the same quality as the Tarmac bags which are no longer being produced by Eagle Creek.

Just what I needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] works well, and keeps its form well. Also easy to transport even with 45ish pounds in it.

Love this luggage

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Built really well and very spacious. I bought another one for my wife.

Great piece. currently using to

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great piece. currently using to travel throughout SE Asia. My second Eagle Creek luggage piece and it does not disappoint.

So, ok. Miss my Horizon line bag….

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thins was a warranty replacement for my cherished Horizon bag. Eagle Creek warranty is good. Unfortunately, the Horizon line is no longer….. With that said, this bag is ok. Not as many additional compartments inside or outside. They are really missed. The wheels on this bag are less robust as well. After its first trip to Europe, the wheels scrape on the side of the housing. Otherwise, the bag did hold up ok. Overall, not nearly as robust as my Horizon however. We will see how it holds up with future trips.

The BEST!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size, light, and rolls so easy! Perfect! Eagle is the only brand luggage we buy!

Big empty space inside is

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big empty space inside is an asset. But the handle support inside is inconvenient and impractical. 2 Wheels always better than any spinner wheels for long term life time. The straps inside are useless and impractically set up. Good roller othewise.
