If you plan to spend a few weeks touring European cities, the Eagle Creek Womens Thrive Pack gives you the space you need. Stow the womens-specific shoulder straps and hip-belt when you check this pack at the airport or store it in a hostel locker. Once you arrive at your destination, open the Thrives full front panel to easily get to a fresh outfit before going out for the evening. When you sightsee the next day, take along the detachable 19-liter daypack, which has pockets for passport, cell phone, and music player. When youre ready to move on, the Thrive has external pockets and lash points for securing your gear, just in case you picked up a few mementos. The included pack cover comes in handy when you have to walk to the Eurorail station in the pouring rain.
