A giant backpack makes for surprisingly great luggage.
I thought fondly of them as I sprinted along side my wife through the mazelike duty free through the wrong terminal of Charles de Gaulle Airport after an Air France attendant announced matter-of-factly: “You’ll make it, but you’ll have to hurry.”
The Mother Lode is a big polyester backpack, but not too big, available in seven colors. It’s exactly standard domestic carry-on size in length and width , while the height depends on how much you stuff in it. It fits my 5-foot-10-inch build well, resting right on top of my backside. Compared with the Mother Lode backpack my in-laws gifted me a few years back, the current model—which I handled recently—has a few noteworthy improvements. There’s a mesh water bottle holder on one side, hidden in a zippered compartment, so I’m just barely able to squeeze in my ever-present. The rear pocket is now a padded laptop sleeve, designed for computers up to 19 inches. Otherwise, it’s the same bag I’ve known and loved.
