Customer Reviews

Excellent 4
Have taken this to Tokyo, Frankfurt, various hotels and friends' houses in the U.S. It is truly excellent and represents everything I expect from EC. I had reservations on spending $30 for a toiletry kit. But no longer. It feels like a portable bathroom. I keep doubles of everything I use in my daily routine in there so I can just grab it and go without going over checklists in my head. Has a detachable mirror, plenty of tube spaces. There is also a discreet(not completely hidden) back zippered pouch where one can keep private items away from prying eyes.

Observations: There is only one "big" slot, which is taken up by my deodorant. Most standard size shaving cream cannisters don't fit the smaller slots, so you have to find very specifically-sized travel shaving cream cannisters for easy access.

You would be able to fit regular sized shampoo bottles in the top zippered compartment, but this kit doesn't seem to be designed for "in shower" use.

I think what I like most is the fine craftsmanship, hence the premium price, compared to other kits. I have some money-belts from EC, and they are absolutely great - designed to be worn, will not chaff, well proportioned. The Travel Kit is the same: zippers always work, never catch; it fits/hangs everywhere; it has seen a year of use and still is in fine condition.

I can take this to my brother's absolutely gross bathroom, shared by three college-age guys, and not be afraid of my stuff touching the sink. It's an absolute must, if you travel somewhat regularly and have been using a dop-kit.

It has also inspired me to purchase the EC Pack-it folders and a packing cube. (To be reviewed...)

Update:
The hook from which the kit hangs is a bit wiley when the kit is folded up. It tends to come loose and get caught on stuff when I move it around. Annoying, but I wouldn't trade the kit for anything else right now.

Excellent but get some good bottles5
I have used this several times now. I recommend it for longer trips. I used it to pack toiletries for a 5 week long trip and it was great. The only problem I had was that the very skinny pockets are a little TOO skinny and were useless for my toothbrush and my razor (may be useful to others with regular toothbrush and non-girly razor).

Make sure you get some good bottles to put into this. I have the large Travel Kit by Nalgene along with one other Nalgene travel bottle and they worked perfectly in the pockets. I filled them with shampoo, conditioner, combo body wash/shave gel, and some of the smaller bottles I used for hair product like gel, cream, etc. and then put those into the zipper part.

I'm not sure what the previous reviewer meant about un-velcroing the zipper pouch? On mine, when you hang the kit, the zipper pouch was fully accessible. It has 2 snaps that connect it to the kit so you can remove it. It is lined and waterproof so I always kept my cotton pads and Q-tips in there.

Good but not perfect3
My previous Eagle Creek toiletry bag was finally wearing out after many years of great service. Of course, the specific model I had was no longer available. The Eagle Creek Wallaby II appeared to be about the same size and concept. Unfortunately, it has flaws. The material is lighter weight, which means it is harder to slide things in and out of the pockets, a problem made worse by their location on the front of the largest compartment. The zippered pouch on the bottom, which is shown in the photograph as if it is available when the case is unfolded, actually has to be removed (with velcro) to get access when the case is hung up. And the rounded ends seem less efficient. All in all, a disappointment from a company that is generally better than this.
