Ideal for short-term domestic travel, the redesigned Eagle Creek Tarmac 20 carry-on bag is carefree yet seriously functional. The Tarmac 20 is moderately spacious at 2,225 cubic inches, and is built for compatibility with Eagle Creek's Pack-It system--a comprehensive organizing system for packing your clothes, toiletries, shoes, and other items. At the same time, the bag is compact enough to fit in overhead storage compartments, including those of both domestic and international flights. And once you arrive at your destination, the bag is a breeze to transport, with a retractable handle system and a pair of sturdy wheels. Other details include a molded pocket that protects against abrasion, multiple Sole Patches that shore up critical wear points, a Skid Plate that protects the bag from such urban obstacles as stairs and curbs, a detachable piggyback clip for add-a-bag versatility, fingertip-friendly pulls, and a slip-away luggage tag and color contrasts for easy bag identification.

All Tarmac bags are equipped with Eagle Creek's handy Pack-It system.

5.0 out of 5 stars great carry-on!, June 6, 2009

I purchased this after much searching for the perfect product. Needed something to carry EVERYTHING for a 10-day trip to China. I did not want to bother with a full-sized suitcase. When I first saw it, I was sure everything would not fit but it did. Yes, I packed light but was still able to fit everything necessary including four pairs of pants, six tops, first aid supplies, toiletries, shoes, and more. Great zippered (netted) compartments kept everything visible and totally organized. Shoes were zipped out of the way of everything else in their own special compartment. The carry-on was unbelievably light weight and rolled very easily. Several handles besides the pull-out made it a breeze to pick up and go as needed. I had to navigate two train stations that had lots of steps. The item was easy to pick up and/or bumped up or down the steps with equal ease -- no twisting or turning. It rolled down the airplane aisle with ease and was also easy to pick up and stow in the overhead compartments...no pushing or shoving necessary and I did not fear dropping it on my head (or someone else's) as I lifted it up. It really is the perfect product. I am delighted with every aspect of this purchase.

My old 20 inch weighed too much, so after a lot of research, I got this one. It really is light - even when full. I am *not* strong, but even packed to overflowing, I was able to put this in the overhead compartment. It easily held enough clothes for a 5 day trip including a rain coat and sweat shirt.

Like all Eagle Creek luggage, packing is a dream - I love the roomy inside the upper flap compartments, the larger one really keeps ironed things from getting all wrinkled. The other thing I learned the hard way - never get wheeled luggage that doesn't have the wheels at the very ends of the sides. While the old 20" would always get wobbly (even on flat ground), this one can be taken down steps without problem.

I went looking for a new carry-on because my older one was just a little too big & I knew it was just a matter of time before it was recognized as such.
I was worried about losing some packing space with the new smaller one, but I just hate the pitfalls of checking luggage.
I bought this one because of the reviews & weight. When it arrived, I liked how it looked & felt satisfied with the quality. I didn't order their packing system, but followed its cues on how to pack it. When I started packing, boy was I surprised how much I got into it.
1 long sleeve shirt
2 short sleeved shirts
9 T-shirts
2 polo styled shirts
9 underwears
10 pairs of cotton socks
1 shorts
2 pants
1 jeans
1 pair flip-flops
electric shaver + plug, hair timmer + plug, deodorant, toothbrush & brush.
All this just weighed 27 lbs.
Way more stuff than my 'bigger' carry-on. How? I have no idea. I suspect there is some twilight zone thing going on here.

Love this product.
