Pop Top Carry-On: you're good to go.

• Position: WHAT'S NEW? - Adventure Pop Top Carry-On - Brief article - Product/service evaluation

Converting from a wheeled tote to a full-size carry-on with just a couple of zips, Eagle Creek's Adventure Pop Top Carry-On expands more than 60% for extra carry capacity when needed--whether to bring back more than you left with, or to use just one bag for longer and shorter trips.

Weighing a mere five pounds, 11 ounces, the Pop Top ($235) is made of 600D Poly Ripstop, 600D Helix Oxford, and 1260D Helix Ballistic, with the capacity to expand from 1,700 cubic inches to 2,750 (14x13.75 x 9 inches to 14 x 22 x 9 inches). To expand the Pop Top, close the handle, unzip the top zipper, unfold the top expansion compartment, and unzip the top back zipper and pull the handle through the slot.
