If you don't travel much and carry on, I would buy low cost luggage that is
MAX SIZE CARRY ON
expandable with good zippers and a warranty and any other features you want. I like a fold out for my shirts to keep the wrinkles to a min. I don't like folded shirts since mine are so big lol.
I have about a dozen pieces of Tumi and Hartman small medium large and huge, folding garment, duffel, wheels, you name it and can't imagine I'll ever by another piece.
So buy good stuff that lasts and build on it
Yep, when I stated cost isn't a concern...I may have lied...I got nearly 15 years and probably 30 trips out of that Samsonite which was in a set of luggage that cost ~$150 from Sams Club. The B&R stuff is at least $400 and I just can't see justifying that against a hundred dollar bag I could replace every 5 to 10 years. I'll continue to look at the high end stuff since they may have features that justify extra bucks.
I picked up a cheapo at TJ Maxx tonight just so I have something while I continue the hunt for the right bag. The one I got is a Delsey spinner with a super tall handle for $60. I have 30 days to return it.
I looked at Tumi ultra light, but I'm willing to have it weigh something so it will maintain some structure, but great bag if weight is a top concern.
My current requirements list (MUSTs):
- carry-on sized
- outside pockets (at least 2)
- quality wheels (this is hard to judge)
- tall handle
- grab handle on the bottom (by the wheels)
- grab handle on top
- grab handle on one of the sides
- masculine exterior color
- if a spinner, must be able to be pulled on two wheels, too
Highly desired feature list (in addition to the MUSTs):
- expandable
- zipper lock with TSA key
- grab handle on both sides
