Not many wheeled backpacks come with an adjustable shoulder harness, and to be fair this one is pretty comfortable considering you can’t adjust its length. The Caribee Fast Track 75 comes with a padded back system, which is fixed. I’ve listed some of the key specifications below…Ĭapacity: 75L (60 litre main bag + 15 litre daypack) We’ve touched on some of the features of the Caribee Fast Track 75, but let’s take a closer look at its credentials. The Technical Bit – Backpack Specifications It certainly doesn’t look out of place alongside these packs, but it may suffer slightly when pitted against these better known travel pack brands. The new Fast Track has an RRP of £189.99*, which puts it up there with our high end wheeled backpacks, such as the Osprey Meridian and Eagle Creek DoubleBack. The increase in price is a bit of a disappointment, as this used to sit within our mid-range. In terms of appearance, it’s really not a huge departure from the previous model, but it looks sleek, stylish and reliable. Another update Caribee have made was to strengthen the Fast Track range at certain stress points, so I’m optimistic about the new version’s durability. As with the previous model, the Fast Track 75 looks robust and is constructed from durable nylon fabrics. The blue is also a little less garish than the manufacturer’s image depicts. While blue wouldn’t normally be my colour of choice for a piece of luggage, I can certainly see the appeal of this colour way, as it would be hard to miss on the airport carousel. Who knew the blue and yellow colour combination would work?! (Well, Caribee did, obviously) First ImpressionsĪs mentioned above, the most noticeable change on the new Caribee Fast Track is the colour. When I first heard about this change I wasn’t overly keen, but when the new blue Fast Track arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. Caribee have made a few minor tweaks to the existing black version, but replaced the platinum model with a navy blue colour way. 2016 sees the introduction of the 4th generation Caribee Fast Track, which has just landed at GY HQ. The Caribee Fast Track was introduced back in 2005 and has been a firm favourite with the Gap Year Travel Store team and our customers for a number of years.
