Here is the kind of traveler bag that refuses to check-in? Wouldn’t it be nice to have more outfit choices when you reach your destination if you pack more than you need? It doesn’t matter what travel style you have, you will find these pieces to be perfect for your journey. You can use them individually for specific trips, or mix and match them if you wish. There are a number of different types of garment bags, carry-on rolling bags, backpacks, duffel bags, laptop bags, and larger suitcases suitable for check-in.
A Carry-On Bag With More Room for Away Travel
The traveler bag is for you if you loathe checking a suitcase but don’t exactly travel light. There are compartments in the interior for organization, as well as a laundry bag to keep dirty clothes separate from fresh ones. There is a built-in nylon pocket on the front of the bag for keeping glasses, headphones, books, etc. handy. A carry-on bag designed for major airlines’ cabins, this is the largest bag you can bring along.
Carry-on expandable bag by Tumi International
You can easily carry this roller bag on the plane, but it can also be expanded if you want to stuff it full. Despite its durability, it can also be used on a return trip if more was purchased than you could carry. A multilayer polycarbonate alloy, this luggage is lightweight, and durable, and comes in five colors, one of which is likely to match your travel aesthetic.
Crew 50-Inch Rolling Garment Bag by Travelpro
It’s no secret why this Travelpro rolling garment bag is a not-so-secret favorite of pilots and flight attendants – it’s the best garment bag for capacity, value, durability, and style. This bag is made from high-quality ballistic nylon with a DuraGuard coating to prevent staining and scratching. The bag comes with a lifetime warranty and has a capacity of 95 liters.
Tres 25L Backpack from Patagonia
The Patagonia staple isn’t flashy or fancy, but its efficient and intuitive design cuts straight to the chase. When the bag is off your back, it serves as a briefcase. It has padding to accommodate a laptop and/or tablet but doesn’t bulk up with padding so you can leave your technology at home. The backpack has a capacity of 25 liters and breathable mesh on the back and shoulder straps. Although it’s not designed for hiking, it is water-resistant and can be used in a pinch because it’s inherently versatile. Even if you pack with intention, it could be the only bag you need for a weekend trip.
Travel Backpack, In case EO
In addition to featuring enough room for a 17-inch MacBook Pro, this understatedly stylish bag also includes a tablet sleeve, tiny pocket, cord passages, and everything else you could possibly need for any trip or commute. Most importantly, the butterfly design of the tech compartment allows you to protect your electronic devices as they pass through airport security machines. Another bonus is that the main compartment can be expanded by one third to accommodate supplies needed for overnight travel.
Expandable 25-Inch Upright Suitcase by Briggs & Riley
To pack heavy stuff, you’ll need a checked bag that’s both sturdy and light (so that you don’t exhaust all your weight allowance before you’ve filled it). Beyond that, the telescopic handles that fit snugly into the frame and the spinner wheels allow even the heaviest luggage to be easily maneuvered one-handed. In addition to a ballistic nylon exterior, a hybrid fiberglass frame, and the CX expansion-compression system which offers an impressive 26 percent packing capacity increase, this Briggs & Riley suitcase hits all the marks.
