Lately I&#8217;ve been experimenting with a pair of TravelSmith men&#8217;s &#8220;8 days a week&#8221; microfiber travel slacks and have been quite happy with them, but thought I&#8217;d tap into the community for recommendations on lightweight, wrinkle resistant slacks.  Any ideas?

Hi Kevin,
I searched the forum and your posts, but couldn&#8217;t find anything on this.  I just got a Red Oxx Sky Train.  I know that you really like the Air Boss, but I&#8217;m wondering if you&#8217;ve ever had water resistance issues.  Have you treated it (or any of your other bags) with a [...]]]></description>

The Highs: Small size belies impressive capacity; handy netbook pocket; Pacsafe security features
The Lows:  Grab handle appropriate for that &#38; nothing more; shoulder strap adjustment a bit finicky
The Verdict: A tough little daypack that performs well, day in and day out
Perhaps it&#8217;s the result of my reading approximately 487 comments on VirtualTourist about pickpockets [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GoLite's entry into the lightweight convertible carry-on niche is the TraveLite, a bag that offers Patagonia good looks with out the Paty sticker shock.   The similarity doesn't end there:  the ripstop material used appears very similar to that used on some Patagonia bags, the polymer shoulder strap hardware is identical to that on the MLC,  the zippers are the same, and the off-center briefcase handle is eerily similar to that on the MLC.  It's entirely possible this bag isn't made in the same factory as are some of the Paty products, but if that turned out to be the case, I wouldn't be surprised. ]]></description>
