We noticed on this year’s programs that many students had one of these Overland Equipment satchels. With an external trifold organizer, the bag provides dedicated storage for your keys, electronics, passport and sunglasses.

Students raved about the side pockets which can hold a water bottle and a compact umbrella, two essential items on our programs. The adjustable shoulder strap was another invaluable feature of the bags, according to students.

We think this is a fantastic bag for travelers as the dedicated compartment makes finding anything easy, and it would also be a great bag to carry around campus!

Reviews on the REI website give the satchel 4.6 out of 5, and we’re pretty confident most of the students that took it on a program would agree!

Let us know what you think or if you have a bag you would recommend.
