Also have this bag and I use it for clothes and travel. I do not bring a laptop or anything with me and I can fit more in that bag than I can and a rolling suitcase. It has a natural compression to it that I have been able to pack filled and still be able to slide it in the smallest spirit airlines luggage check. I have the professional

You deserve more subscribers. Your presentation certainly got me what I was looking for. Cheers

On the Mother load you could tighten the straps and loop the bag sideways around the wheeled trolley. eBags has come out with a new version of this called the DLX Mother Lode that has unattachable padded hip pads but I haven't been able to find any reviews on YT on it. I like the size and features of this bag and am thinking of ordering despite the $30 shipping charge to Hawaii!!

Great video!

Such a great comparison, thank you for running through all the sizes and models since the specs on the website look too similar.

that is a carry-on... YOU CAN'T HAVE 2 CARRYONS in a plane....so.

Absolutely EXCELLENT Ebag Review. Awesome Job!!

Thanks for such an in depth review. Albeit some models have been discontinued, I found this very helpful! Thanks again

Outstanding review

I'm looking at the bags, my wife is looking at your pantry door. I now have to replace my pantry door...

I have a favorite travel bag that I want to share with you. You'll also love Nomad Lane Bento bag for travel. It has a trolley sleeve, key leash, a lot of compartments and fits under the seat. It is very convenient to use.

That was an excellent overview of the different bags. You definitely covered the same basics that I am interested in AND I came to the same conclusion as you did! Thanks.

The crush proof cases are removable (it really isn't obvious), gives a lot more room if you don't need it.

I was looking for a video like this! Thanks!

I can't find the flight are you sure that's the name

Nice review thanks for sharing

omg the puppy <3

Great video, thanks so much!

Thanks for the side by side review! I’ve read some people use the sternum and waist straps to attach the Motherlode or Junior to a rolling suitcase handle. And that crushproof pouch on the professional is a good security feature, since it’s against your back if you’re wearing it.

Buying zipper pulls will change your life. There are maxpedition ones on Amazon. Get both the big and the small. (Big for main compartments)

The handle towards the bottom of the TLS ML is so that you can pick it up from the top, and put it into the overhead bin, and pull it out easier (one hand on that lower one, one hand on the very top handle)

Just bought the "Flight". And you're right. It's not the most reviewed. But it has features I like. Good size, for a bit of overnight clothes packing (along with laptop/tech packing). Easy access top pocket (that isn't TINY like many easy access top pockets). A serious water bottle pocket. Not some short one that makes you worry about bottle slipping out (which is why I didn't get the "Slim" version). And of course, a travel backpack MUST come with slip-thru sleeve for stacking on bottom luggage. Many don't! It's so important though when walking through long airports. Great review.

oh my god. freeze it at 21:07 LOLOLLOLOOL

20:40 hah. this lady is great. look at that comparison. who does that! lol

this was super helpful. especially with the different sizes.

Great comparison thanks for the help~

Great video. I am also looking for bags for an upcoming trip to Europe. Glad I can see the size differences.

I've been hemming and hawing over which motherlode bag to choose since ebags has so many travel backpacks. Thank you so much for this comparison review, it is very helpful to those of us on the fence!

This was a really good review. You should do more.

Exactly what I needed to see.

Please tell me exact name of that flight bag you chose. I cant find it online. Thanks!

Thank you for this video, I wish there were links and the bags were different colors for better identification but I get it and I think I like the first one, thinking 7 days in this bag, hope it works out! Would rather have wheels (and they have it now but defeats the ease of getting off/on plane without getting stuck in aisles with the wheeled bags). Bags on your back without a great hip support gets real heavy fast.

Where do i found the flight one

I also love ebags

I love ebay

I bought my mother-in-law the Flight Backpack for Christmas. Thank you for the recommendation! I think she will love it.

Extremely detailed. I'm still on the fence about which bag to get so I'll rewatch this video to decide lol.

I have the Mother Lode and love it! I also use the bags packing cubes, shoe bags, and tech bag, which are great.

I too wish I had seen this video before I purchased my Mother Lode, and I’m glad I did saw before I traded it in for the junior version. Ive decided to go with the profession flight. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this most informative video. Have a nice day.

It would help if you said which bag is which when bringing them out. Thanks 😘

That crush proof case on the slim professional is removable so if you need the extra space you can remove it.

Of the 2 professionals is one the slim and other the slim jr? Im confused.

the lower handle on the motherload Is so you can pick up the full bag from a bed with two hands while holding it horizontally.

Wish your video had been available when I purchased my ebags backpack. It took me a long time to figure out which one I wanted to buy. I ended up with the professional flight backpack and am glad you liked it too.

awesome review, nice lady, thank you!

Hi, I just stumbled upon your videos. Great reviews and summary! I have the MotherLode (large size) and have taken it around the world twice as my only bag. Spoiler: I love it. I gave up the Professional Weekender for the MotherLode because the former was simply not as comfortable for me. I may be able to clear some things up. First, it does not have the ability to attach to a rolling bag as it is way too large to be considered a personal item. It is most certainly designed to be a full-on replacement for a piece of wheeled luggage. Admittedly, though, the option would be nice. Secondly, the water bottle pocket is virtually useless. The design of it leaves a full water bottle flopping back and forth which gets annoying very quickly. The Professional's water bottle holder is way better, holding all kinds of bottles very firmly. The handle at the bottom of the bag, the one that you put over the extended handle of the luggage, that's a grab-handle to help hoist the bag into an airplane's overhead bin. I have put a thin piece of stiff-ish plastic into the laptop compartment to stiffen up the back of the bag as I felt that the bag was kind of lumpy when fully packed. My point of contention for the Professional line is the top and side handles being elasticized. They did not give me as much confidence when under load as the handles on the MotherLode. All-in-all, I could not ask for more from a carry-on sized bag than the MotherLode offers. It has a ton of room inside and is loads easier than rolling a wheeled suitcase over old Europe's cobblestone streets. Come to think of it, the only upgrade that I would want would be in the water bottle holder.

This video was very helpful!! Thank you :)
