Lightweight backpacking outfitter GoLite’s new 2-pound convertible is a welcome addition to the growing wheel-less luggage segment. At $125 the TraveLite Convertible Carry-On looks like a mid-priced winner. More info to come. (Thanks to Buzz for the heads-up on this one)

Here’s the super-light Patagonia Travel Duffel that Kate referred to in her comment:

It’s LIGHT indeed: 14 ounces with 2196 cubic inches capacity! And the straps look pretty comfy. Its dimensions are 17 x 12 x 10.5in (43 x 30.5 x 27cm) so it’s a little too bulbous for my liking and you know the lightweight material will bulge badly. Still, 14 ounces — very tempting.
