Global Companion 40L Backpack - Women's

What is like a suitcase but not a suitcase? The Eagle Creek Global Companion 40L Backpack, naturally. Designed for frequent fliers or travelers who like to take advantage of carry-on space, this travel-ready backpack features an organization-minded design that zips open like your favorite piece of luggage. Using a traditional book-style butterfly opening, the Global Companion opens up flat to reveal two zippered mesh compartments. You have both an easy view of the outfits you've packed, and a handy way to divide one day's clothes from the next. The exterior of the bag features additional storage points, including a bottom compartment specifically for your shoes, a laptop sleeve that can fit models up to 17in, and two organizational front pockets with slots for pens, keys, and phone.

The Global Companion Backpack is, of course, designed to travel. Its dimensions are in adherence with the carry-on policy for most major airlines, so there's no need for baggage fees, and side compression straps help you consolidate the load for easy travel through busy airports. It comes equipped with a rainfly in case the weather at your destination is less than pleasant, and the burly fabric at the bottom is abrasion- and water-resistant in case you set it down in a puddle while you're waiting for a taxi.
