Spotted in Guatemala. Not my suitcase, but I’ve definitely been guilty of this in the past! Travel with a wheeled suitcase It's lightweight and easy to pull along - and has multiple handles so you can carry it the way that suits you best. Adjustable– The Farpoint Trek is fully adjustable. The suspension system can be moved to accommodate a range of torso sizes and the straps can be fine-tuned to ensure maximum comfort for all users. The pull handle is a single pole with a T-shaped handle at the end. It doesn’t feel as solid and sturdy as the one on my wheeled suitcase but it’s comfortable to pull, and this minimalist design obviously helps to make the bag lighter. Materials — The bag is made from 100% recycled Cordura material. It’s abrasion and tear resistant and has an eco-friendly water-repellent coating. All materials and chemicals used in the construction of this bag are Bluesign-approved.Just to top it off, you also get two padded grab handles, loads of lash-points for added bits and bobs and some tough rubber feet to allow the bag to stand up by itself when not being pulled along. Sizes– The Osprey Sojourn is available in 60 and 80-litre models. Both are massive and unless you truly need a shed load of stuff, the 80-litre model will be way too big for 99% of travellers. The 60-litre model is more suitable, especially if your trip takes you to a range of climates and weather conditions – there’s plenty of room inside for cold weather gear as well as your beach stuff! The Samsonite Sonora is also made from recycled PET bottles so you can feel assured it's an eco choice too. Recycled 210D High Tenacity Nylon Fabric – which is Bluesign approved and has a PFC/PFAS-free water repellent coating

Size — The Lyon Cabin Trolley by Cabin Max fits just within carry-on specifications for most airlines. However, for some budget flights, it exceeds the limits slightly. Thankfully, the bag doesn’t look big or bulky, so you might be able to sneak it on. Not that we’d recommend breaking the rules… ?Of course the whole point of having a wheelie case is so that you can wheel it as often as possible. So you need it to have good, study wheels and be comfortable and easy to pull along. Which fortunately the Osprey Farpoint Wheeled 65 is. Planning to get away from the cold British weather? The best-wheeled duffle bags are an easy and efficient way to transport your holiday essentials. The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first. You’ll probably end up wheeling it most of the time, which means you may be better off just using a normal suitcase if you’re not going anywhere off-road The Antler Urbanite is made from crinkle nylon which offers you a hard-wearing fabric that is not only waterproof but can withhold the strain of any adventure you may be thinking of embarking on.

In general 35-40L is enough for a short trip under a week (or those who are capable of travelling very light!) In general, if you are travelling for longer than a week, you’ll need between 50-65 l. Detachable day bag Extendable Single Tube Handle – with a tactile ergonomic handle for easy steering and towing through airports and cities Minimalist travellers can likely get away with a smaller bag, 30 litres is a good size if you know you don’t need much on the road. Wheeled duffle bags are usually lightweight, so you can easily pull them along on wheels but also lift and carry them as needed. The shoulder straps are fully padded and lined with a breathable mesh for increased comfort. You also get an adjustable sternum strap with built in safety whistle. Moving down, lightweight, flexible hipbelt effectively transfers the weight of the bag through your hips for maximum comfort and support.

I still wanted one with wheels for all those times when I could pull it along, but it needed to be lightweight, with sturdy straps and good hip support, and smaller than 80L so I could actually carry the damn thing. Adjustable– The newest versions of the famous Farpoint/Fairview bags are fully adjustable. The torso length and straps can all be fully customised to fit you exactly. This makes for a super comfortable carry experience, although it can take a few goes to get it all set up right! Wheelie duffle bags are often a bit more budget-friendly than a suitcase - plus, there are many eco options available, with many bags made from recycled materials. Best wheeled duffle bags at a glance: Durability — Early versions of this bag featured several durability concerns. There were a number of places where abrasion caused holes in the fabric. However, newer models have reinforced plates over areas of high wear. Thankfully, Osprey bags are very cost-effective. For the quality, you’re unlikely to find many bags cheaper than an Osprey!

There are also compression straps inside to ensure everything stays in place when you're wheeling the case. Ensure the stitching looks clean and well done. Visible problems with the sewing are a sure indicator that more problems are hiding out of sight. Wheels — Eagle Creek’s Convertible Carry-On bag features chunky wheels that roll well over most terrain. They have a chunky tread pattern to ensure they keep rolling. When using the wheels, the bag relies on a single stem, crush-proof T-handle. It’s not the most manoeuvrable but the bag’s smaller size and low centre of gravity mean this doesn’t matter too much. Very comfortable shoulder pads with good padding and the hip belt is well-positioned for both men and womenThere are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it. Versatile. With both wheels and a harness, you can carry it comfortably when you have to, and pull it along smoothly when you don’t.
