By yak, by Fiat, by bus, by fast train, or by airplane, Eagle Creek employees come back and figure out how their gear can work better in all of the above circumstances. Most importantly, the company listens to its well-traveled customers, who demand that their travel gear be smart, indestructible, and comfortable. That's why Eagle Creek builds every product with the highest-quality, most-reliable performance in mind. Every buckle, zipper, webbing, and fabric choice is scrutinized based on rigorous lab and field-testing. The company is also keenly aware of the environmental impact of its products, which is why it strives to minimize material waste and source and manufacture its products using the least harmful fabrics, trims, and packaging materials available.

5.0 out of 5 stars I should have ignored the bad reviews and bought this earlier, October 27, 2010

This review is from: Eagle Creek Travel Gear Sidekick Bag (Apparel)

I own an older version of this bag. Based on reviews I thought the updated version would not work for me, so I put off buying this bag until I had to get one for a flight. My old Sidekick's main compartment zipper is messed up and doesn't stay closed (it opens up). I thought the new bag had flaws I couldn't live with. Turns out the Eagle Creek site is horrible at showing the inside of the bag and based on a few erroneous reviews, I thought the most useful part of the old Sidekick no longer existed in the updated version. Turns out, that's not true. This new version of the Sidekick is actually better.

The old version had a decent organizer panel that was on the front side, that made it awkward to use when you were using it as a waist pack. This new version is smarter, in that the organizer pocket is in the back and faces you when you open it while it is attached as a waist pack. It also has a new glass compartment in addition to a skinny cell phone holder plus the usual two pen pockets. The new version actually has an extra hidden pocket on the inside of the waist band side (back) that can fit a checkbook enclosed in a slightly bulky check book cover. The old version had a roomy back pocket. In the new version that pocket is in the front and is a little bit slimmer. Unlike the old version, the new one's big pocket has a half height divider so you can organize your contents a little as well as a zippered pocket on the inside. The very front of the bag (when worn as a waist pack) has a zippered outside pocket that holds boarding passes nicely - a nifty feature if you keep it empty - so you can get through security faster. About the only downside of this newer version is that it can be hard to get a bulky wallet in and out of it when you're wearing it as a waist pack. I ended up using my Scott-e-vest for my wallet because of the difficulty in removing my wallet from the Sidekick.

About the only change I would make is to add about an inch of fabric to both the organizer pocket and the main pocket to allow for bulky items. Other than that, the Sidekick has been great for traveling in the airport.

This review is from: Eagle Creek Travel Gear Sidekick Bag (Apparel)

I bought this bag 14 years ago. One of the many zippers finally gave out, so I am using the other one that meets it in the middle or at either side. I am just delighted to know that I can get a new one when this one gives up.

Love Eagle Creek products. Have another bag made by them and they last forever. I love the shoulder strap or belly pack option and actually cut the belly strap out and just use the shoulder strap around the belly for more room in the pack. Excellent product and service.
