Wheeled backpacks/luggage

[ACoiledThing]

Am looking for well priced, sturdy luggage for travelling this summer. Must be about 60 litres. Any suggestions please :)

Eagle Creek has great wheeled backpacks. Fantastic quality but not cheap. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to discover them. Best unwheeled pack is the Macpac IMO. Mine is ancient, they may well do wheeled now. I love luggage!

You didn't mention backpacks. Sorry, gin must be making me hallucinate.

at infin - the OP did mention backpacks! Please pass me some gin.

DH just bought a really nice Karrimor backpack, ~60L I think.

Oops, its wheeled, I forgot to write that.

Oh dear it's downhill from here right through the Bank Holiday weekend!. (passes what's left of gin......beware of effects on short term memory)

I tend to get mine from John Lewis or TKMaxx. Not necessarily big-name brands, but they usually have a good selection.

If you're looking for a backpack, I really wouldn't bother with the wheely-ness. I have a faithful, trustly Berghaus 65 + 10, which I've now used for 12 years, and it's fab. The wheely ones don't have anywhere near as good a back system on them for carrying. I had a shoulder reconstruction 20 years ago, and can't manage a large weight, so a proper back system is imperative for me. I love my pack, and it's more than big enough for me. I can go up and down stairs, on and off buses, tuk tuks, trains, etc. with it, and never worry about uneven ground. Unless I pack it with bricks, it's almost impossible to get it to more than 24kg, which is a useful thing, too.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that, if backpack is more important, you're probably best not to bother with wheels. If wheely-ness is more important, please take the advice of other posters. :)

Briggs and Riley do a great wheeled duffle bag and backpack. They are separate pieces but the backpack can be attached to the duffle. Both are from the BRX range. All B&R luggage comes with lifetime warranty including damage caused by airlines.
