Shopping for suitcases can be stressful. Shopping for suitcases as an outdoor adventurer? Even more so. It’s an investment after all, one you hope will last a lifetime. What you need, then, is a rough-and-ready travel companion, built specially for the kit hoarder, the globetrotter and the nature-loving backcountry bush walker. What you need is: the Gear Warrior. New from American outdoor adventure luggage company Eagle Creek, the Gear Warrior XE is one hell of a suitcase. Available in 27” (66L) and 30” (91L) capacity options, there’s a size for you whether you need a roomy weekender, a multi-day tripper or a deluxe gear-hauler. All are built from the same ultra-durable 600D recycled polyester fabric, with hardy abrasion and water resistance, and strong, reinforced seams throughout. Multiple grab handles ensure it’s easy to glide across the airport floor, whilst the hypalon reinforced corners and kickplate ensure protection from the rocky path up to your countryside getaway in the mountains. The traction-grabbing wheels also promise protection while the interior zipper organisation pockets and removable interior divider guarantee optimal organisation for your adventures. Practical pockets, heavy-duty zippers and multiple lash points seal the deal, making this one of the most practical, hard-wearing suitcases on the scene.
Eagle Creek has been equipping travellers and adventurers for over forty years. Along the way, they’ve continually refined their packs, bags, duffles and innovative packing solutions – so when it comes to getting your stuff from A to B, they’ve pretty much got it nailed. The result is an ultra-rugged and supremely user-focused range of luggage and everyday carry essentials. Each and every item is designed to help you travel smart, stay organised and transport your gear safely and securely, whether your final destination is just across town or halfway around the world.
As a US brand with a global reach, they’re also conscious of the impact of raw materials, supply chains and manufacturing processes on diverse and fragile ecosystems. Eagle Creek’s ethics have always been to produce quality, durable products, built to last a lifetime of adventure. But as a brand, it also takes a planet-first approach to product design. That means using recycled and reclaimed materials, harnessing responsible production methods and backing up their goods with industry-leading warranties to keep them out of landfill.
The ultimate aim? To solve all your packing problems, so all that’s left for you to do is plan your next adventure.
