Valentine’s Day Sale on Bamboo Clothing!

January 31, 2008

From now through Valentine’s day, you can purchase the ever-so-soft, ever-so-fashionable and ever-so-travel-friendly Bamboo line of clothing from Dreamsacks for 20% off! Bamboo clothing is not only attractive and comfortable, it’s great to take on the road.

Naturally grown, pesticide-free bamboo is broken down into tiny fibers, which are then woven together to create a shockingly strong, incredibly breathable and wonderfully soft fabric. And caring for your Bamboo is simple - just hang it up and wrinkles will slide out of the fabric, letting you leave the iron at home. Plus, bamboo has an anti-microbial property, keeping you feeling and smelling as fresh as you look.

New colors now available! Check it out!

Time to Get Away?

January 24, 2008

If the winter weather has you hiding indoors, huddled by the fire, afraid to go out into the icy cold, it just might be time to get away from January temperatures. Imagine yourself on a Mexican beach, or going down under for a nice Australian walk about. Tropical beaches or the jungles of India? The world awaits! Click here to check out our selection of warm-weather guides. Maybe you’ll get some ideas!

Ultimate Packing Solution Still Available

January 22, 2008

We still have some of Eagle Creek’s Ultimate Packing Solution Sets available. During the holidays the set makes for a great gift, but for now it’s the perfect combo of Eagle Creek’s ingenious Pack-It items at a nice savings. If purchased separately the three packing organizers would run almost $48. As a set the Ultimate Packing Solution is just $39.95. A nice deal indeed and available here.
Eagle Creek’s Ultimate Packing Solution
The Solution centers on a Pack-It Folder 18. This extremely handy product will neatly fold up to a dozen garments and keep them all neatly folded no matter how many times you paw through your suitcase and its contents. It comes with a folding board that does two things. First it helps you to fold things neatly and second it ensures that anything you want to put into your Pack-It Folder 18 is folded to the correct size. When I max mine out I can pack two pairs of pants, two pairs of shorts, four or five dress/casual shirts and a couple of t-shirts. I have found it to be nearly indispensible for any trip where I’d like to look anywhere from halfway decent to sharp. The second piece of the Ultimate Packing Solution puzzle is the Pack-It Cube. At 13 x 9.5 x 2.5 inches deep the Pack-It Cube makes a great storage unit for smaller stuff like socks, rolled up undies and t-shirts, bras, gloves, hats, swimsuits etc. Putting all your small stuff into one handy bag alleviates quite a bit of luggage clutter and makes it easier to find said small stuff and easier to find things overall. The final item in the set is Eagle Creek’s Medium Pack-It Sac. Measuring 10 x 8.5 inches the plastic line Sac is perfect as a basic toiletries bag or as a handy case for any liquid containers you might be carrying. And that’s a wrap on Eagle Creek’s Ultimate Packing Solution. You may of noticed that I ‘ve used the word “handy” a few times. That’s because when I think of this stuff, I think about how neatly organized my travel gear and clothing are now that I use it.

Pack in Style With New Pack-It Colors from Eagle Creek

January 17, 2008

Eagle Creek’s 2008 line brings three new colors to the popular Pack-It line of packing aids. Merlin Purple (seen below on the brand new She She Kit) is a bold addition to the Eagle Creek color scheme, and Merlin Purple Stripe gives a little additional flare to the fun color. Finally, the Tree Frog Burst (seen below on a Pack-It 15 Folder) takes the veteran Tree Frog color in a new, funky direction. The solid Merlin Purple is included in all of the Pack-It cubes, tubes and sacks - and all 3 new colors are used with the Pack-It folders and toiletry kits, like the Wallaby II (shown below in Merlin Stripe).

New Eagle Creek Tarmacs are here.

January 16, 2008

The latest and greatest from Eagle Creek has recently arrived. Among the many new updated pieces we are most excited by the updates the company has done on their Tarmac line of rolling bags. For several years now the Tarmacs have offered by far the best value in the luggage industry. These bags are extremely durable, are backed by an unbeatable guarantee and, when compared to bags of similar quality, are very favorably price. If anything ever happens to your Eagle Creek Tarmac, even damage caused by the airlines, Eagle Creek will repair it free of charge. Hard to go wrong with a deal like that.

The Eagle Creek Tarmac line is complimented by a nice selection of handbags, totes and duffels as well as a very handy rolling tote that is sized specifically to be an under seat carry-on.
