The main compartment opens clamshell-style for full visibility and easy access. Once open, full-sized zippered panels keep clothing and gear separated and organized. A large zippered exterior pocket keeps travel essentials close at hand, and the adjustable shoulder strap is removable to prevent snagging in airline overhead compartments or if the bag is checked. The back panel is padded and features contoured shoulder straps for backpack-style carry, making it easy for long treks through airport concourses. This versatile bag provides the convenience of a suitcase while minimizing storage space required between trips.
