Eagle Creek Unveils New Cargo Hauler Special Edition For Spring 2018

May 25, 2017

Advancing duffel design with the application of innovative fabric technology.

San Diego, Ca.  – Owning the Duffel Category is not something Eagle Creek takes lightly. With the introduction of the new Cargo Hauler Special Edition, Eagle Creek continues to stake its claim as the leader in product design versatility and durability.

Building on the extremely successful Cargo Hauler Duffel franchise, the new Special Edition features water repellant X-Pac™ Dimension Polyant sail fabric, a 4-ply composite material featuring a polyester yarn diamond mesh embedded between layers to increase the tensile strength. This bag will hold more weight than you can carry.

“This duffel is really the culmination of all-things adventure travel. The selection of components and materials were inspired by the most technical gear found from the mountain tops all the way down to the sea,” said Mark Davis, Product Design Manager at Eagle Creek. “The main body material is waterproof X-Pac performance sail fabric, the bottom is our highly abrasion resistant Bi-Tech™ Armor Lite material, the aluminum hardware is inspired by climbing hardware, and the ergonomic backpack straps are inspired by hiking packs. It was a lot of fun to combine all these components to create the ultimate combination of adventure-ready and travel-friendly.”

The Special Edition features quick-release aluminum snaphooks for backpack strap attachment, PU coated weather-resistant zippers, an internal zippered mesh pocket for organization, a padded handle wrap, Central Lock Point and a baffled end pocket. Thanks to storm-proof construction and impermeable sail fabric, the new Cargo Hauler Special Edition keeps goods dry when left out in the rain.

Color: White Diamond/Black

The new Cargo Hauler Special Edition will be available at retail 1/1/18.
