CLOSED: High Sierra Sport Bags (R&G)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

I've inherited my Mother's love to stuff a travel bag till it's ready to either pop, explode or give up its seams! I insist on handling the packing arrangements when we travel because I NEED to know where everything is kept....that we have everything...and that I've successfully managed to squeeze the contents in our home into a teeny travel bag! Needless to say my packing has this uncanny knack of exasperating Hubby dear.

Can you imagine the joy my packing genes had when it set eyes on this beauty sent over from High Sierra Sport Company? This is a picture of their 32" AT GO bag from their site...does it look a little small?

On the site's picture it sure does look like a carry on bag but here's how big it really is.....


Two weeks ago when we measured Bunny girl, she stood at 102 cm...take a look at the AT559 Sierra Lite next to her!

This bag is my packing dream come true.

The 500 ml bottles of water have been placed inside to give you an idea of the length, width and breadth of the bag.



The bag precisely measures 32" x 15" x 15" in dimension and can expand to 17" in dimension. (Woohoo!)
It comes with a special built in, high density foam structure that ensures the bag retains its original shaped throughout travel and at the same time ensures weight is minimized.



A list of its features include:

• A molded foot that allows the bag to stand upright and also acts as a handle for easy lifting
• A large main compartment, with front-load access that expands 2.5" for additional packing capacity
• A drop-bottom compartment, with hold-down straps, that is perfect for shoes or bulky gear
• A zippered divider panel, between upper and lower compartments,that can be rolled up and secured to create one large compartment
• A divider panel between the top pocket and middle pocket that has a zippered mesh pocket

Now to my favorite feature of all....

• The bag comes with hidden padded backpack straps that are stored behind the zippered padded bottom panel
  
• It also has a recessed, telescoping aircraft aluminum handle system with a locking mechanism
• Comes with inline skate-style wheels, in protective corner mounted housings with unique integrated bridges that keep the bag rolling true

(So cool! It can serve as a huge backpack or a roll on....love it!)

• It also has a kick plate between the wheel housings that protects the bag from abrasion (I have more than just a few travel bags that can stand witness to abrasion issues that slowly lead to teeny tears that finally lead to gaping holes!!)
• Its SURE-GRIP handles tuck down flat when not in use and finally
  
• The bag has reflective piping for added safety.

My kudos goes out to the High Sierra Sport Company for this 3-in-1 travel bag. (Duffel cum Backpack cum Wheeled Upright.) Their 30 years of expertise in this market has been proven with this one product. I'm in love....Hubby's in love!! Now all that's left is to convert all our 'love feelings' for this bag into a good ol' family trip with Bunny girl, before I become too large with Bunny Boo!! (I can't wait to pack my world into my AT559 Sierra Lite!)
