Comments about Eagle Creek Koala Kit:
I use this organizer to carry toiletries on short trips and to hold non-liquid items on longer trips. It easily cinches down when partially empty and expands to hold more than you would guess from looking at it. I find it is perfect for maintaining organization for airline security since you can fold your 1 quart ziplock into the middle but then pull it out the side since it's open. I usually carry the kit on it's side in my bag so I can do this quickly for checkpoints.
Quality is great. The mirror takes abuse well and the kit has gone through my washer several times without fading, shinking, etc. (I don't wash the mirror that way though!)
The various pouches stretch enough to hold a toothbrush in a case, a hardcase for glasses, and larger make-up items like powder all at the same time.

Comments about Eagle Creek Koala Kit:
Good pick for carrying toiletries on weekend, or short trips. Plus, it has a hook so you can hang when you reach your destination & allows easy access to your items without having to unpack everything.

Comments about Eagle Creek Koala Kit:
Great smaller version of the large Eagle Creek toiletry kit I am replacing. Great for short trips. I just hope the zipper doesn't break, like it did on my old kit.

Comments about Eagle Creek Koala Kit:
As others have noted, this kit is roomy and well made. In most regards, it is a great product. However, the snap (rather than a zipper around the circumference) is a problem for me- it isn't as secure as some other toiletry kits I have. I'm also not fond of having to keep the "doorknob hook" zipped into a pocket with my personal items in order to keep it from swinging about. (Other kits have a "keeper" catch for this.) Overall though, this works ok. At least it holds travel-sized bottles of toiletry goods available in drug stores- some other kits have pockets that are too narrow for this.

Comments about Eagle Creek Koala Kit:
Travel? I use this thing at HOME. I was recently a student so I found it perfect for the dorm, where bathroom space is scarce. And then I could just fold it up, clip it to my pack, and was ready for a weekend at home. (Or wherever!)
I never used the little mirror much until the one I carry in my every-day bag got too scuffed. The one in the Koala kit is glass, not plastic, (although it's framed with sturdy plastic) so it won't get scratched up, and it's neither too big nor too small.
The compartments/pockets in the kit hold a LOT, and there's a non-mesh compartment in the top for private items, and a big mesh one in the back where you can cram a pair of hand-washed undies to dry overnight where people won't see them, lol.
It has survived for several years and is going strong.
