"I own 2 Super Padres, 1 large size and 1 medium, and use them for travel -
both for business and for leisure. The large holds enough for a 2-week vacation, while
still being a manageable weight. The medium easily carries all I need for 1 or 2 day
business trips.... For me, the Super Padre defines
independent travel!" epinions.com product review |
