This multifunctional wheeled gear bag holds a week's worth of clothes and keeps boots or gear in a separate, fully lined lower compartment. A floating baffle separates the two. The zippered, easy-access top compartment and internal mesh toiletry pocket fight the forces of chaos to keep you organized. The light-colored lining makes it easy to see what you've stashed inside. Structurally, the impact-resistant skidplates and tough-as-nails molded bottom pan stand up to brutal treatment, while the smooth-rolling 80-mm wheels steered by a 2-position retractable handle get you where you're going with ease. With haul handles at both ends, external compression straps to cinch the load and/or attach bulky items, and batten supports on the sides that keep the bag standing upright but fold down for easy storage. Made with a 1,200-denier recycled polyester exterior and a 200-denier polyester liner; both have a polyurethane coating and DWR (durable water repellent) finish. With a molded foam and ballistics nylon bottom for structure and durability.

Material
Recycled Polyester We recycle used soda bottles, unusable second quality fabrics and worn out garments into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Technology
At Patagonia we seek to build the best product and cause no unnecessary harm. That's our mission statement, and it takes many forms. As it applies to making products, we work hard to source materials and use processes that are less harmful to the Earth without compromising quality. Because to us, quality is not only how well a product performs and holds up, but also how it's made.

The Good:
The Freewheeler is durable and repairable; it uses recycled polyester for both the hard molded plastic and fabric components. We've eliminated PVC, and use no leather. We've minimized the use of webbing (which to date can't be made of recycled material).
The Bad:
The Freewheeler is heavy and its components are not recyclable.
What We Think:
Durability is an environmental benefit. Recyclability would be a plus. So would having in place resources to rebuild luggage (the hard component in most cases will outlast the fabric).
