Customer Reviews Deuter Helion 60

So excited to use this bag. I was looking for a bag that would hold 2 weeks of travel items and be able to hoist it on my back for metro stairs and cobblestones in Europe, Essentially for those times when a rolling bag is a hassle. This bag seems to fit the bill. I had been using a Travel Pro 26" roller bag that I calculated to be 3,000 cubic inches so this bag is about the same volume as that large bag (even a little larger at 3,660 cu in). I have not taken it on a trip yet, but I packed up all my stuff as if I was going on a trip and carried it around the house. The back pack straps are comfortable even with a full load AND it comes with a hip strap which is super important when you are carrying a heavy load. Usually my bag weighs about 35-45 pounds when I travel (so I don't plan to carry it long term but just when I need to). The wheels are large and study and the bag rolls easily. The straps and hip belt are tucked away into a zippered compartment at the back of the bag. Only test now is to see how it manages to hold up being tossed around by the airlines.
