    Yo bro,

    Planet traveller's prices are pretty steep. Brands like Eagle Creek and Victorinox are marked up pretty high. Was looking at an Eagle Creek bag a couple of days ago and found the same model $200 cheaper at Sports Connection.

    Probaly nothing .... but I have to admit that it is a thing of beauty. The retro looks does appeal to me

    Really fantastic Is the quality & finish as good as it looks in the photos? Sure hope it's performance isn't as retro as it looks

    Do keep us informed on how it performs in the field.
