luggage poll ... what 'cha got? (links to the bag appreciated)

Posted by JenBro Dec 6 '16, 13:31

after my month long travel, I've realized I need to up my game for baggage - am interested in what everyone uses for both short and long trips - I'd love to find a bag that can carry lots compacted where I could avoid checked baggage - but not struggle to get it to fit in the overhead compartment of the smaller aircraft

Responses:

$ 99 spinner from Costco - got a few years ago - love it. hard shell on one side. fits in over head -- nm - Epiphany Dec 6, 14:27
I switched to a Jeep brand hard shell that fits in overhead as I was tired of stuff getting smashed. - Spawn Dec 6, 14:00
I have a black canvas duffle bag I bought at a surplus store 30 years ago for a trip to Australia. We've been all over together. - howie Dec 6, 13:53
Samsonite Spinners -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 13:48 2
- that's what my friend John had this trip - a big one that had expanding capabilities (for his checked bag I mean - not carry on) - JenBro Dec 6, 13:51 1
  - I have a big one for long trips that I can check and I have a 22 (I think) inch one that *just* fit in the overhead for shorter trips -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 13:52
I still use my very old North Face backpack. I have no grown up luggage. If need be, I could always borrow my wife's. -- nm - Crashquick Dec 6, 13:40 8
- honestly, a backpack is still my favourite way to carry crap on a trip. my old, magic, backpack that somehow held way more than it should - Andie Dec 6, 13:42 7
  - I love it too. I hate those wheeled thingies anyhow. -- nm - Crashquick Dec 6, 13:45 3
    - i pack *extremely* light. i almost never use our larger case. - Andie Dec 6, 13:47 2
      - I pack light because you have to leave room to bring stuff back. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 14:26
      - We are light packing soulmates :) -- nm - Crashquick Dec 6, 14:20
  - this trip I took both an Everkei (sp?) that I bought fairly recently and an LL Bean back pack I've had since high school - both worked very well - JenBro Dec 6, 13:44 2
    - this is the closest i can find to my old one. it really was pretty great. but this is a bit smaller. -- (edited) - Andie Dec 6, 13:45 1
      - nice ... LOVE lots of pockets -- nm - JenBro Dec 6, 13:50
Classic Hey's hard=sided case. i don't love it, actually. -- nm - Andie Dec 6, 13:37
The set isn't available anymore, but I needed a luggage set in an emergency four years ago and got this Atlantic Luggage 3-piece set from Macy's ... - ReluctantCynic Dec 6, 13:36 2
- My go-to bag is this Delsey carry-on, though. It's four years old and looks like new. - ReluctantCynic Dec 6, 13:38 1
  - just googled this brand as I hadn't heard of it before - looks good! -- nm - JenBro Dec 6, 13:47
Generic cheap carry on...mom has a full set of old stuff, no wheels -- nm - zeit spiced geist Dec 6, 13:36
I've got your standard hard-sided roller carry-on suitcase with a larger big brother. -- nm - Mop Dec 6, 13:33
