Price: 79.99

Classic Trek: Travel with this revival of the bag that Rick carried through Europe back in the 20th century. You won't find expansion or a waist belt here — just a tough, ultra-light bag for an unbeatable price.

Carry-On with Confidence: It fits within most airlines' carry-on guidelines. (Note: It's possible to overstuff soft-sided bags beyond carry-on limits, and risk rejection. Pack light!)

Outside: The classic Rick Steves outer pocket design gives it a clean, efficient look. A full-length side zipper opens to reveal a 14" x 20" compartment (perfect for a jacket). Two additional front pockets, a mesh water-bottle pocket, external compression straps, two grab handles, and padded shoulder straps complete the outside.

Inside: The generous main compartment includes adjustable compression straps, a clip-in document pouch with two mesh drawstring bags, and a full-width lid pocket.

Convertibility: To use it as a suitcase (or check it as luggage), the shoulder straps securely tuck away in the back.
