My new Incase EO Duffel making its debut at Denver's the ART hotel. |
Our lesson was learned on a trip to Italy many years ago. We started by visiting Rome, then traveled by train to explore the five towns of Cinque Terre, and finished in the romantic city of Venice. Our problems first began when we decided to travel by train from the airport into the heart of Rome, and then walk from the train station to our hotel. As per usual we made a few wrong turns and it was just uncomfortable to pull two bags. When we arrived in Vernazza, one of the towns of Cinque Terre, things got worse as we not only had to pull our luggage from the train station through the main street, we then had to carry them up countless flights of steps to our room, as the streets of Vernazza are staircases.
All packed up and ready to go. |
The quality of the materials stand out. |
The handles snap together for ease and comfort. |
The inside of the bag is one spacious main compartment with a small inside pocket for pens, eyedrops, or any small items you want to be able to get at quickly. On the outside is a small pocket into which you can slip your phone, boarding pass, and passport. On the other side is a pocket that is padded and furry to hold your tablet or small laptop in luxury and make it easy to access.
Everything I like to pack in a carry-on fits easily into the Incase EO Duffel. |

The other way we use our duffel bags is for weekend getaways. The EO Duffel fits a weekend's worth of clothing, shoes, toiletries, camera, and more easily.
All of this, enough for a weekend getaway, fits into the Incase EO Duffel with room to spare. |
When I was looking at the bag online I was concerned by the listed measurements: 22" x 13" x 4.50". It was the 4.50" depth that worried me. That seemed awfully narrow. The measurements on the website are incorrect. The bag actually measures 21" x 12" x 9", though I can see how it could reach the 22" x 13" numbers if completely full.
I tested the EO Duffel on a recent weekend getaway to Denver. My verdict is that I am extremely happy with this bag so far. It fit everything I put into it and kept it in place so I could easily find and pull things out. It's also stylish and works for either men or women. I also love that you can see and feel the quality. The only real problem is that I accepted this bag with the idea of letting Romeo have it, but now it might stay mine!
