This invention relates to a compartmentalized travel bag that easily converts from panier form (for cycling) to an internal frame packsack (for walking or hiking). The apparatus is composed of three separate compartments that share a common backing which is stiffened in such a way as to allow it to bend at two joints (or hinges) forming an inverted "U" shape, (like a panier), as well as straighten and form an internal frame packsack. There are two shoulder straps and a belt attached to the backing, (for use while in packsack form) which can loop around and fasten to the outside of the bag while in panier form. There are fasteners on the outside of the bag that work in combination with the stiffened backing to keep the bag straight while in packsack form. This invention enables the cyclist to participate in other activities such as hicking, canoeing or mountain climbing, without having to carry aditional equipment during a cycle trip. Also, since both hands are free while the Panpack is in packsack form, it allows the cyclist to easily maneuver the bicycle and gear while in train stations or airports.
