<p>REI has offered it's customers travel product for a number of years, originally offering more basic products and today, the line has grown to be broad and encompassing a wide range of needs of our traveling customers.</p>
<p>REI travel products are unique because they bring elements from our outdoor gear products, such as backpacks, into the travel marketplace.</p>
<p>This means we can bring high performance materials into the line that are lighter and stronger. It means we can bring the same comfort and fit story into the product line as well. And we also designed it to be compatible for outdoor gear. So, there's always a great place for that pair of muddy hiking boots.</p>
<p>The REI travel line covers a wide range of needs beginning with those of the urban customer. It could be that person commuting back and forth to work or someone who's just spending time touring a new city.</p>
<p>We also meet the needs of our more recreational traveling customer; someone who's getting away for the weekend or, perhaps, taking a week long trip to a ski resort.</p>
<p>And then, we also meet the needs of our most adventurous traveling customer; someone who may be going more remote or travelling for an extended period of time. REI's Stratocruiser 25 which was recognized by Outside Magazine with the Gear of the Year Award is a great example of our design approach. It brings light weight materials from our pack lines into the product making it easy to carry, but durable for extended use.</p>
<p>Suspension wise, it has the ability to be carried on one's back or it can be wheeled like a standard piece of luggage. And it's really designed to be flexible so it has enough capacity for an extended trip, but has a removable pack for day use</p>
