Editor’s note: a full review of the Air Boss is now posted here)
The Red Oxx Air Boss is worthy of any light traveler’s consideration. It is close to maximum legal carryon size, yet weighs well under four pounds. It has NO WHEELS - which is a good thing; wheels would double the weight and eat interior capacity. And, it was developed in consultaion with Doug Dyment - the one-bag expert. At $225 this bag costs a lot less than many high-end carryons, and it will probably last several times longer than those $100 bags, which means it may be the best carryon value on the planet. Red Oxx products are made in the USA and carry lifetime warranties.
By the way, the Air Boss has its own packing diagram (also by Dyment) which can applied to most any carryon.
Read a review comparing the Air Boss to the Rick Steves bag. Here’s another blogger’s review of the Boss.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Tom Bihn's bags. I have the Aeronaut (a maximum carry on bag similar to the Airboss) and an Empire Builder with Brain Cell (a terrific laptop bag). These two bags look great, are fantastic quality, and hold more than I would ever want to take with me while traveling. I can't imagine a better way to travel. www.tombihn.com
Thanks - I hope to test the Aeronaut, another hand-made American product. I just completed an intensive test of the Red Oxx Air Boss and will post it soon.I'll also post a link to another blogger's review of the Aeronaut.All readers are encouraged to send in their own suggestions or reviews by e-mail.
