Ebags mother lode

I have traveled around the world for years with my trusty old eBags Mother Lode Travel Backpack (I think it used to be called the "TLS Weekender" when I bought it, but that's how it's listed on their site now). It has survived 10 years of abuse, hundreds of flights, and countless hikes. The bag handles anything I throw at it & has a number of features, but it's a good example of a jack of all trades (and master of none).

This backpack travel bag has the features you would expect a premier luggage company to incorporate, including heavy duty fabric and zippers, many flexible packing options, multiple handles, reasonably comfortable shoulder straps, and a place to stow the shoulder straps, and even an expansion/compre...

I like the eBags mother lode (normal and jr). Is a compact size, I don’t care for the bags arhat are very tall/long. And the price is reasonable (not a big issue for me though) but there isn’t a hip strap and I think it might feel heavy without it. I’m short and pretty small.

This is the second eBag I've had in less than 3 months. The first I had to exchange for the one I currently have. I bought this travel bag for an 8day trip to Italy. My decision was based on all the positive reviews I've read and pictures people have taken of this bag. the first bag: One of the comp...

I got an eBags Mother Lode Jr which is about 41L for 50-60 dollars on their website. I like that it doesn't look super backpacker-y or techy, just looks like a regular (large) backpack.

This is a beautifully made backpack that is super high quality and will more than likely last a lifetime, the pockets and sippers all make sense and nothing is missing as far as storage. IT NEEDS HIP STRAPS SO BADLY! I was walking around Europe with this as my only bag and even though it wasn't pack...

I love my eBags Mother Lode. It is pretty amazing.

We ordered this amazing backpack/suitcase for my daughter to pack her items for the USAF Prep School BMT. I ordered the suitcase once week before we were to fly out and deliver her. We packed her few items required for BMT and the night before this clip broke off the bag. Disappointed because we can...

I searched for a backpack luggage for a long time and finally landed on the ebags mother lode - then my wife stole mine so I got a second. It's a backpack, has the pockets I need, holds a laptop, folds open, straps fold away if you do need to check, expandable with compression straps, fits in carry-on, light, etc. It's pretty affordable too ($120 and 20% off if you get 2), but high quality.

FOR THE MONEY, I don't think you can get a better bag. It's very sturdy, and you can cram an incredible amount of stuff into it (far more than the mere 'weekend' for which it is allegedly designed), you can carry it three different ways (as a backpack, or with either of two different handles, one on...
