The Pop Up Soft Trunk is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before! This beast is actually tailored specifically to summer campers with a plethora of pockets, an organizer built into the lid, a telescoping handle, wheels, and plenty more. Available in various colors and patterns, this soft trunk is just the ticket to a comfortable, convenient camp stay—not to mention collapsibility for easy storage when camp is over! No one else makes anything like the Pop Up Soft Trunk!

Can you believe that before 1970 nobody had put wheels on luggage? And it took another 20 years after that to get a telescoping handle! But things really gained traction for this product when Macy’s Department Store picked up the invention, marketing it as ‘the luggage that glides’.

Since then, not much has really changed about duffels…until the Pop Up Soft Trunk, that is.

An invention of our own, our Product Development team worked tirelessly to get the design just right, trying to defeat the frustrations over the formlessness of a duffel and the lack of organization from the single-compartment of a plastic bin.

Everything Summer Camp HAD to offer a duffel bag with summer campers in mind—something they could live out of! The team scratched their heads over all the things campers would use a duffel bag for. And after two years of development, more than 500 nights that became early mornings, 18 different prototypes, and way too much caffeine, Ed, Matt, Mark, and Brian proudly presented the Pop Up Soft Trunk to the world of summer camp!  

Pack your child for camp in the Pop Up Soft Trunk, found exclusively at Everything Summer Camp!

 

What’s Poppin’?
So what is it about the Pop Up Soft Trunk exactly that pops? Well, like the images of a pop-up book, the wire frame inside the fabric allows our trunk to POP up so it can function like a temporary dresser, bringing simplicity to life away from home! Position the frame securely in all four corners and this soft trunk will hold its traditional trunk shape even when completely empty!

Duffel VS Soft Trunk
In the summer camp world, there’s something called a soft trunk which is really just a duffel. Along with the advent of rolling luggage, the term ‘Duffel Bag’ has already been greatly stretched, but the Pop Up Soft Trunk rolls with the best of them and brings even more to the table with its trunk-like qualities. Campers can live out of it thanks to its organizational convenience and also collapse it for easy storage. Truly a hybrid of both breeds, the Pop Up Soft Trunk is its own animal: part trunk, part duffel!

Your Dresser at Camp
The average household owns four pieces of luggage which usually provide nothing more than a main compartment and a handful of pockets. The roomy Pop Up Soft Trunk boasts a total of 18 pockets!—7 inside the main compartment and 11 outside of it. With so many of them, you’re sure to take care of all cosmetics, toiletries, and smaller items on your packing list like flashlights, chapstick, toothpastes, etc. The pockets also provide easily accessible storage and a simple way to keep a camper’s essentials organized. Try living out of your typical duffel with the same level of comfort and ease!

Our Soft Trunks are made of heavy-duty nylon that will resist any ripping—especially on the reinforced corners so you know it can hold up to the rugged living at camp. Designed with LOTS of amazing features, let’s break it down and go through them one by one:

    My daughter loved this trunk!

    This trunk is spacious with just enough bells and whistles to make it extra special. My daughter loved it, and I love that it packs away easy until next year. There was a small issue with the trunk when it arrived and the ESC customer service was amazing. Would definitely purchase from them again.

    Big design flaw

    We just spent the last hour trying to get one of the legs of the wire frame to stay up in advance of packing the trunk. Supposedly, according to the video on the site, there are tabs on the bottom of the trunk that help the legs stand up. As far as we can tell, these "tabs" are a couple of tiny pieces of vinyl, of insubstantial height, and on the side with the wheels they abut the wheel indentation, giving the wire frame nowhere to catch on the side of the "tabs" in order to stand up. I have no idea why there isn't some other more substantial piece of equipment for the wire frame to snap into on the bottom, which would seem like an easy fix. Anyway, this was very frustrating for our daughter, and there is no way the frame would stay up, and no way she could have done it herself at camp. Long story short: big waste of time -- now we have to deal with returning the trunk, and express ordering another trunk. Beware the talk of design innovation in the description. This thing is a dud.

    We're truly sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve had with the trunk’s wire frame. It’s disappointing when things don’t work as expected, and we understand how frustrating this must have been for your daughter.
    We’ve already spoken on the phone, and we've taken care of initiating the return for you. Since you prefer not to receive a replacement, we will ensure the return process goes as smoothly as possible.
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. It helps us improve our products and service.
    If there's anything else we can assist with, please let us know.

    Wonderful Design

    My daughter was able to fit everything she needed for a 4 night camp, including her pillow and sleeping bag. This bag is well designed with clever compartments for everything. We especially appreciated the mirror and clear sleeve for photos. I love that it folds flat so we can store it under her bed. We also had a wonderful experience with customer service when the wrong item as accidentally delivered. They overnighted us the correct bag to ensure she had it in time. We are so pleased!

    I like this for my daughter, but find it too small for just 3 weeks of sleep away camp

    Zipper Broke the 1st Week

    First time my daughter ever used it and the zipper is already broken. The trunk is one week old. It was filled the regular amount (not over stuffed). An incredibly pricey bag that was a big disappointment. :(
