My typical carry on, shove up in overhead compartment, roller bit the dust. Long story. I am curious as to what your preference for a carry on - preferably roller - piece of luggage is. Budget is fairly wide open.

I have one made by Timberland which is lasting very well, though I use it mostly for car travel. I have taken it on planes and fits fine in the overhead compartment. I don't know the specific model number, but I bought it on Amazon many years ago....around 2016 I think. ETA I just checked amazon and their website and I don't see anything like what I have. Guess they got out of that business. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

I'd go with another SwissGear. Mine has served me well and it sounds like your previous one served you well too. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

Not a roller but I’ve gotten myself and my son the Maxpedtion carry on. It has handles in multiple places, a storable backpack harness, expands well, cinch down straps, etc. I use it all the time. I like the backpack part because typically I pack in that and the have both hands to man handle the wife’s luggage. I only like rollers on big luggage. Carry on size they just take up space to my mind. https://www.maxpedition.com/pr...duffel-adventure-bag https://www.maxpedition.com/pr...adventure-travel-bag I didn’t pay that much, they have sales all the time. Black or tan. I bought both and gave son first choice. They look huge in picture. You can either get a ton of stuff in or cinch it small. I love them. | |||

Really nice affordable RIMOWA style carry on. Company called MVST, lifetime warranty, will get scratched and dinged up being aluminum but they are tough. I am about to replace my carry on a TUMI after 15 years, so its either going to be this or I am gonna splurge on the RIMOWA. MVST carry on | |||

Buyer beware, while MVST says they have a lifetime warranty, there's an undercurrent of discontent amongst users. Then there's the issue of its sourcing and the background of the company. Check out the Alibaba-link. Do you know anybody that owns/uses? https://www.reddit.com/r/trave...mvst_select_luggage/ | |||

Travelpro would be my choice. I hate carry on luggage. We usually fly first, but I hate manipulating bags in the cabin, and prefer to check all but my personal backpack. Watching the fights over carry on space bends my brain. _________________ This space left intentionally blank. | |||

I'm a Pelican nerd so mine is the 1510LOC. It has a pouch on the lid for your laptop and power cords and a zip up cover for the rest of it. I'd recommend the Pelican air version though, the weight reduction is very noticeable. I believe the air version is the 1535. | |||

I might get something like this. More like a fat briefcase if I had to check an item also but big enough for a couple days? I don't fly much and my bags probably wouldn't get past TSA. happy shopping. Solo New York Active Rolling Overnight Laptop Bag. Business Travel Rolling Overnighter Case for Women and Men.

I bought one for international travel. Turns out the airline had a weight limit even for carry ons. It was 20 pounds total. At the airport, I had to put stuff from the carry on to the check in bags and got rid of some. I was able to put in 5 pounds of stuff in the bag. The bag was 15 pounds by itself. I ended up with Travelpros. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I like my maxpedition backpack for the reason stated above and mine carries a soft ballistic panel. Light weight, hands free and hasn’t raised an eyebrow with TSA yet. Not real tacticool either, looks like an old jansun book bag from college "The days are stacked against what we think we are." Jim Harrison | |||

That's me! I carry on my Swiss Gear backpack 100% of the time, it's rare that I also bring this on board: https://travelpro.com/collecti...xpandable-rollaboard | |||

Ah, understood. I have Swissgear bags (which I really like) but never the rolling carry on. I just pulled my rolling carry on out and its from High Sierra, weighs maybe 5-6 pounds. I received it as a gift from my employer for a work anniversary (I picked it out of a few options). It's similar to this one, but has side pockets for water bottles. https://www.amazon.com/High-Si...TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&th=1 I'll be taking it to Mexico in a few weeks. I took it to Jamaica last year and the Dominican Republic 2 years before that. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

I have been using a Delsey Helium Aero for the past decade or so and it’s been great. I use the international size which has a compartment accessible from the outside. Very convenient to access the stuff you use most often without having to open the main compartment. Makes going through security much easier. It’s a hard shell spinner.

Thanks for the heads up, I saw one in the airport and liked the way it looked. If I still traveled as much as I used to I would have bought the Rimowa when I was Germany, I still might but its hard to justify the cost on something I will not use as much as I used to. Thats why I was considering the MVST. | |||

About three years ago I changed all of my carry-on to TravelPro. I am pleased with the construction. I'm not wild about their MagnaTrac spinners, but it's not a deal breaker. | |||
