Customer Reviews: |
| High Sierra 22" Passport Travel Pack by High Sierra Good value if it's on sale | I bought this pack 3 years ago for my first carry-on only trip to Europe. It's now done a second Europe trip as well as at least 20 domestic flights. The main compartment zipper broke after the first trip, but I managed to fix it and the bag has otherwise been OK. The plastic internal frame also started cracking, so I made a small hole in the internal lining and removed it piece by piece.
Pros:
* Carry-on size
* Zippered cover for the harness - keeps everything in place when you have to check the bag
* Nice streamlined shape
* External mesh water bottle holder
* Great, well padded carry handles (top and side)
* Removable shoulder strap (I never use it)
Cons:
* Heavier than other similar packs
* Main flap doesn't open all the way - it needs to be held open when packing which gets a little tedious
* Bottom "compression" straps don't compress as they are attached to the stow-away pocket for the harness cover
* Zipper teeth are small and the zips don't glide easily
* No "quick access" pocket for a 3-1-1 bag
| | High Sierra 22" Passport Travel Pack by High Sierra Great price and features | I bought this backpack so I could live out of it for 3 weeks traveling in Europe. This backpack is great because it perfectly fits the dimensions limited for carry-on bags on flights within the EU but still has a lot of volume for storage. It is comfortable and with the waist belt it distributes the weight very well so that I had no problem carrying the bag around on my back all day. I haven't tried the shoulder strap but it appears to be another convenient feature.
I ripped one of the gray carabiner loops on the front of the backpack when I grabbed it to slide the backpack across the carpet but I have had no other problems with splitting or tearing. I did not apply much force when the loop ripped so I believe it would not have been able to hold a water bottle or anything else very well either. The bag overall seems slightly less durable than other bags I have used (Jansport, The North Face) but it worked very well on my trip and I think it will work well for future traveling, and should last a very long time as I am only using it occasionally. But I will stick to my messenger bag for day-to-day use. | | High Sierra 22" Passport Travel Pack by High Sierra Good quality but lots of straps! | I purchased this bag from Amazon for $59.99, not from a Marketplace seller. I guess Amazon is out of stock because I am not seeing that page anymore. However, under the description page existing at the time I bought mine, the headline was "High Sierra 21" Passport Travel Pack" and the description had its measurements as being 21"x 14". I am seeing more accurate descriptions of the size from other sellers, such as the one above. The bag I received measured 22.5 inches in length and was 15 inches wide--a bit larger than the description and cutting it a bit close on what an airline will allow in a carry-on bag, which is what I purchased it for. For that reason, I am returning it and will get something a bit smaller. While I am returning it, I gave it four stars because it is a really well constructed bag and would be fantastic for backpacking.
If you are considering this as a carry-on, keep the following points in mind--It is borderline too large to be a carry-on and was quite heavy even empty. While it is versatile in how you can carry it, this versatility means it has too many straps to contend with (I could envision myself wrestling with those in the confines of a small space on the plane) and the waist strap is just in the way. I see this as a pack for someone backpacking across Europe (or maybe flying first class with larger seats, you lucky duck), not flying coach. It is just too large for that. :( | | High Sierra 22" Passport Travel Pack by High Sierra Great for hikking, lots of space | I bought this to replace a broken, smaller bag and I'm loving it. It's really comfortable even fully loaded. It has plenty of space, and it was big enough to pack an Xbox360 with all the cables and power source, 2 controls and enough cloth for a 4 day trip in winter!! Nothing but the best from it.
Highly recommended for the price tag! | | High Sierra 22" Passport Travel Pack by High Sierra excellent travel pack | | I ordered this bag for a 2 week vacation in Ireland. Im glad that I chose this one because it turned out to be a great bag. Lots of room for all my gizmos and other misc items. Loved how you could turn it from a backpack to a duffel bag. Having the shoulder strap was a nice feature. I only wish that the outside of the bag had more pockets, but all in all a wonderful bag. | | High Sierra 22" Passport Travel Pack by High Sierra Product Description | | High Sierra Sports Travel Packs 21" Passport Travel Pack... not your average backpack!
