Howdy, I've been looking at packs at roughly the Tom Bihn Wester Flyer size range and the Minivan is one of the few I've found besides the Wester Flyer with that layout and features.

Anyone have one/had one? What did you think?

Tough Traveler's website just doesn't have that much detailed info.

Thanks!

Geoff

TT's website is vintage 1997, no doubt. I tested about five of their bags and really only like the backpacks like the Padres. The bag you mention:

is interesting because of the ultra-light cloth. TT's backpack straps and harnesses are usually excellent, very comfortable. The prices aren't bad on the packs. Their suitcases are priced like TB and Red Oxx.

Here's my post on TT packs with link to TriZip review:

Brad, thanks for the info and the links. I've spent _way_ too much time looking at these things, and it looks like I'm settling on the Western Flyer as it's a bit bigger and can have the brain cell added to it.
