Day Packs for Travel, Laptop Bags and Backpacks

Any seasoned traveler knows that day trips — sightseeing, hiking, or other active pursuits — require a decent amount of gear. You’ll need snacks, water, potentially a light jacket, and anything else specific to whatever activity you’ll be doing. Do you want to lug all of that around in a large, heavy backpack? Probably not. That’s why we’ve perfected the art of smart, organized, lightweight daypacks and travel bags — so you enjoy your day trip, with all the things you need, without having a bag that weighs you down. Plus, our bags are filled with all kinds of smart nooks and crannies to stash your gear in easy-to-find places.

Most Eagle Creek Day Travelers™ have integrated All Ways Secure™ functionality which features (1) Anti-Theft qualities like lockable zippers, RFID blocking technology and hidden Passport pockets, (2) Digital protection for electronics including tablet and laptop sleeves, and (3) Personal Safety features like reflectivity, a light attachment loop, and safety whistle. We’ve begun to integrate these travel smarts into our bags because we truly care about making sure you get the best protection of our your bag.

With so many style options, it can be a little overwhelming to find the perfect travel day bag. This guide is your one-stop-shop to help you find your perfect everyday travel bag based on how you’re planning to use it.

Need a practical, organized, laptop case for meetings and business travel? The Convertabrief is one of our business briefs that converts from a messenger bag to backpack. So that’s a great bag for business travel. Are you traveling to someplace not all that safe and are concerned about security? Consider looking at Eagle Creek’s wide-selection of backpacks – there’s nothing like the comfort of close-to-body security. Alternatively, a business tote is a simple and stylish option. Many of these have roller-bag compatible straps to make moving through airports and between meetings easy and wrinkle-free.

Waist Bags

Features: All Ways Secure™, RFID Blocking, lockable zippers, lightweight, reflectivity, pockets

Recommended use: Adventure travel, international travel, sightseeing, hiking

Ah yes. The fanny pack. It may not have the best reputation but sometimes you just need to keep your belongings close so they’re easy to access and safe from pickpockets. (And let’s face it… we kinda LOVE them.) We’ve been able to keep the neon colors at bay and simply offer you a practical, useful waist pack that will simplify your travels. It’s a classic for a reason.

Handbags

Sometimes you need to blend your practical needs with everyday style. If you’re looking for a handbag that will carry everything you need, while keeping your personal items organized, our handbags and totes are the perfect solutions. With a range of options in all different sizes, we have a style that will work for your daily needs — whether it’s a super stylish convertible laptop bag or a briefcase that will hold your tablet.

Wallets & Organizers

Features: RFID Blocker pockets, built-in wallet, Passport pocket, slip pocket organizer

Recommended use: Daily use, international and domestic travel

One of the most important things you carry on a daily basis is your wallet. It stores your credit cards, cash and most of your other daily necessities. While traveling, a wallet is even more important since it’s where you’ll carry your travel documents, passports tickets, and other important information. Our bi-fold wallets are perfect for everyday use, while an RFID Crossbody Organizer is a great option for a lady who wants the option to wear her wallet over her shoulder sometimes and carry it as a clutch at other times. Another important travel consideration to keeping your valuables safe from theft is a money belt or secret stash — you never know when shady characters could be after your goods.

Ultra-Lights

We may have mentioned we’re a bit obsessed with organized, lightweight travel. Our category of Ultra-Lights keeps expanding: ultra-light bags with minimal organization, packable, and convertible bags that transform from one style to another. We love bags with multiple carry options – and so we’ve designed options whereby something that can be a duffle bag one second, can be a backpack the next. Cool right? There’s nothing better than an ultra-light bag that can expand and then pack down into a built-in pocket depending on your needs at that very moment.

Laptop & Tablet Bags

Features: All Ways Secure™, lockable zippers, Secure-Zip™ Toggles, RFID Blocker pocket, Central Lock Point, laptop and tablet sleeves, reflectivity, light attachment, water resistant, overhead bin compatible and TSA-friendly

RFID Blocking Technology

You may have noticed that we’ve mentioned RFID blocking technology quite a few times. In case you’re unfamiliar with the term, we’ll fill you in on why it’s so important to us — and why it should be to you. RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification) is gaining popularity with credit card companies, governments, and other entities. It’s a chip that’s being inserted into credit cards and Passports that’s used to identify and track information. You can imagine the mayhem that would ensue if someone were able to pick up and steal your personal information. It’d be an absolute nightmare. And unfortunately, with the right technology, it’s possible: your information can be recorded, cloned and used to steal your identity and commit credit card fraud. For this reason, we have a slew of products that incorporate RFID blocking technology to keep your information safe, whether you’re traveling to another country or just down the road.
