Perfect for going through Italy by train

This is a WELL BUILT backpack. I used this for a 10 day trip to Italy. With packing cubes I was able to put everything I needed in this bag. Even souvenirs. I like how the side flaps help you to compress it down a bit too.

A few things to be aware of though. I am 5'3" and I would've loved it to be a few inches shorter. The bottom of it tended to bounce off the top of my booty a bit. It wasn't horrible or uncomfortable, more like a thought of "if I was to design this pack perfectly for me".

I wore this around Rome, Florence, and Venice and am SO HAPPY I decided to buy it instead of taking a carry on. In Venice I would've had to roll my bag up and down stairs every time we crossed a bridge. I'm all the cities I would've had to roll my bag over cobblestones. I really cannot say how happy I am that I didn't have to do that. The backpack also left my arms free for doing things - like holding a map or a camera.

I love that this has lockable zippers. Boom. Enough said. Other packs I looked at couldn't lock like the Osprey.

The downside is I don't think this will fit as a carry on for small European planes. I looked at the 40L Osprey but I didn't like the laptop sleeve, I felt it took up too much room (go to REI to scope in out in person if you can). The 40L version would've fit as a carry on for smaller planes though.

All in all, I'm so happy I have this pack. It's exactly what I wanted for Italy and I will be using it for more and more of my international trips (hello not waiting at baggage claim!).

Loved this purse.  It has room for my Nikon camera and my other personal belongings while traveling through Italy.  The strap is very comfortable and the zipper locks a great feature of extra protection.

Perfect for storing passport, extra credit card, cash and notes around your neck for international flights. Some reviews complained of the cable that goes around your neck being uncomfortable. The cable was designed not to be cut, so I did not mind its stiffness.

I do wish the compartments on the inside were a little roomier. I sometimes had a bit of trouble pulling a credit card out of the zippered compartment.

This is not something I would wear every day on a trip, but a good choice for flights, train and bus travel. And if I ever went to crowded cities like Rome, I would definitely wear it every day.

This was perfect for my trip to Europe, as I had to pack conservatively. The handles on the side are a plus.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old because we were going to be doing a lot of traveling. This was the perfect way to haul around his trains and he loved that he could unzip it and have a play mat with tracks.  We put thirty trains inside and there was still lots of room. The quality is great and once I showed him how to do it he could unzip it all himself (though I did have to zip it back up for him).  Every where we went people complimented us on the bag. No one had ever seen anything like it. This bag is a must for the on-the-go toddler!

I purchased these to use on our trip to Italy which included use in Milan, Lake Como and Florence.  They worked perfectly and were used every day to charge an iPhone and Kindle and to use a curling iron and hair dryer.  I was glad I purchased four of them as I was able to share with the folks we went with. Also,  if we had left one behind we'd also be fine.  Good deal!

I bought this to carry my lunch, my shoes and my wallet on the train while I wear my tennis shoes on the trek to work.  This bag has been great for travel too, holding my laptop, cords, discs, and still my wallet.  Just overall a great buy for me!

I bought this map for use during a bicycle tour in Italy.  The micro-SD card fit easily into the GPS and was accurate and detailed, at least in Lombardy and Lake Garda where we bicycled.  Price was reasonable, too.

Review of USA to Italy Adapter Plug (Type L) - 4 Pack

These worked well during our trip to Italy (Rome and Florence). They fit all of the outlets we encountered (save one odd outlet hidden inside a pantry). They plugged into the Italian outlets easily; likewise, it was easy to plug and unplug American plugs into the back of these adaptors.

The adaptors are solid, sturdy (you can put a lot of force on the tines without any noticeable give), and lightweight. Very happy with the purchase.

Aside: I would recommend combining these adapters with a power strip / surge protector that is rated to Europe's higher, 240 volt outlets. Many accommodations have few and/or inconveniently located sockets. Instead of buying plug adapters for all of your devices (and hoping you'll find an available socket for each one), buy a couple of plug adapters and a power strip / surge protector with USB ports and you'll be set.

I have 4 of these totes. They are perfect to carry essentials on an airplane or train. Inside zip pocket will hold wallet,passport etc. The three outside zip pockets will hold tissues, phone, and all the comfort and convenience items you need to get to in transit. The large inside can hold your lunch/snacks, spare underwear and shirt and whatever else you don't want in the overhead. The fabric is waterproof and washable. What more do I need? Needed a bag with more colors for this trip.

This was perfect for my trip to the UK.  I was able limit my luggage to carry on size which made navigating the planes, trains and automobiles so much easier.  The suction cups were strong enough so that I could hand 2 t-shirts, underclothes and socks at the same time.  The sink stopper helped retain the water in the sink more then the stopper.  Very useful and I will be packing on all future trips.

Perfect wallet for traveling to Venice!  I like everything about this wallet, especially the little pocket for tickets.  It was always easy to access whatever I needed, be it passport, waterbus pass, or euros. This made traveling a bit easier and hassel free.

I traveled to Europe last Fall and foe 12 days traveling to major European cities such as Barcelona and Rome. The size was perfect for everything I needed to get around the city and the security features locking features on the zipper and slash proof strap, etc made me worry free while I explored. I will definitely use this bag again on my next big trip.

Love it! I use it once a week to do my last mile commute in San Francisco out of caltrain.
It folds perfectly so I can get into any train car and sit in any seat.

I purchased this to use as a carry on on a recent trip to Italy and it did not dissappoint. It's very roomy with just the right amount of separate pockets for organization. It's very nice looking and durable.

I purchased this bag for a trip to Europe and could not have been happier. There were times when I had to stuff it pretty full for a little bit while switching trains and the zippers really held up well! The inside material is also very pleasant and soft. This is the perfect combination of style and practicality, as you can match it with casual or formal wear. Love it!
