Been rocking this guy for ~3yrs with only one spot of damage on it:

Think it's got all that.  It's a great bag.

Yep. Still seems like the sweet spot for me, too.

Carry on luggage
« Reply #13 on: February 16, 2016, 10:29:21 PM »
I travel a decent amount for work. I like the spinners, convenient getting through the aisle on the plane. I have travel pro and it's not bad. Tumi is quality, and would have gone that route if I didn't care about the price tag.

Also, there are different levels of many of these bags. So, you'll have to look at the different lines within each brand on some. For example, you can have a low end line from a more quality name that still sucks.

I may travel a bit more than the average bear, but I went pelican.

Multiple reasons, possible multiple use (ha), but mostly because I got tired of carrying my laptop on my shoulder or back.  I also don't need to worry about a last minute check of the carryon.  Multiple "valid" reasons...

I think I paid less than they have here, but its been a great bag for almost 5 years with only a few bumps and scars....

That's pretty damn cool.  Not what I need for business travel (no outside pockets), but awesome for other trips.  The unconditional lifetime warranty is a thing of beauty!

I ordered the non-AWD on Amazon.  $219 on Prime, plus tax.  I used smile, so .5% will be donated to American Red Cross.

The problem with traveling with a cheap carry on is if you purchase something you can't carry on and you have to check it or plane is full and you have to check it and the bag can't take the handling and it destroys it pretty much.

My tumi rolls straight down the aisles of the planes.  Jay do you have to go past first class? Lol me too and it works fine.  Poor Don.

I have a small backpack for all the little pockets. Overall grew tired of 20lbs on the back all the time so tried to reduce the amount of total weight I carry. I also just check if more than a couple day trip.

Haha. I'm hit or miss depending on where I'm going. Been getting bumped up a lot more lately. I'm at 13 flights since Jan 1.

Good choice!

I'm at 16 segments this year so far.  If you mean 13 flights - 26 segments,  good lord.


Nope, segments is what I meant.

This thread reminds me of the American Psycho scene where they are comparing business cards.
