Wheeled carry-on?
Hi everyone,
My aging American Tourister wheeled carry-on bag has finally worn out. I’ve had it for 15 to 20 years and the only thing holding together is duct tape. Definitely time to replace it.
The model I have has 2 wheels and is 19” x 14” x 9” or so since it has to be suitable for international travel. International carriers have tighter restrictions when it comes to carry-on bags. The size of my current bag is pretty close to the max.
The replacement needs to be soft-sided, ruggedly designed and have just two wheels. A great warranty is definitely a bonus. Tested spinners and didn’t like them.
Currently, I’m looking at the following models:
I’m a big fan of products from Timbuk2. Excellent products, amazing quality and a lifetime warranty. Tough to beat that! The bags from Eagle Creek come highly recommended and I gotta admit, I like the rugged looks.
Still, though, our forum is by far one of the best sources of information. Since travel gear ain’t my expertise by any means, I figured, I’d throw the question you. I’m trying to keep the price tag $250 or under. I can get the more expensive Eagle Creek Bag for a lower price than what’s on their own web site.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Robert
