Thanks to OBOW reader Till for a learned and careful comparison of three high-quality carry-on shoulder bags (photos and links to come).
In my never-ending quest for the perfect carry-on “sans wheels” I have now bought three bags practically at the same time. I can justify this because my car’s trunk is of such a stupid shape that four standard-size carry-on cases are the best way to load it optimally. Good thing I don’t need to justify my expenses otherwise…
You can check out my review of what I consider the perfect, wheeled business carry-on here.
The “King’s” only downfall is that it is indeed a bit on the heavy side even when empty. These literal carry pieces discussed here are obviously much lighter. The review will follow the same system as the Travelpro Platinum 5 review so that we can compare things in the same format.
The bags are:
Briggs and Riley 235x Expandable Suiter Tote $209 incl. S/H
Easygoing Carry-on $185 + around $15 S/H
Pathfinder TX2 Expandable Carry-on $62.50 incl. S/H (discount. Otherwise in the same price range as the competitors or even more) - link to Overstock.com - good for limited time
B&R 235X
EASYGOING CARRYON
PATHFINDER TX2
