the lure of outdoor gear

Under consideration for Ireland: two awesome travel packs (backpacks with zippers on three sides and detachable daypacks) in the 4000-cubic-inch size range. So many features... the Eagle Creek one is slightly cooler but quite a bit more expensive. I haven't been to EMS yet, either, but I think they mainly carry the Eagle Creek one.
