Finally, I welcome any other suggestions for bags that might fit my needs! I'm considering that it might be ok because it's a soft-sided bag.Ĥ). For anyone who has this bag, did you ever try to compress it down by 3 inches? If I didn't fill it up completely (so that it could be compressed to 62 linear inches), would that probably be ok? (I realize no one can give me a guarantee). While I most definitely don't want to get stuck paying a $300 oversize bag fee, it drives me CRAZY to pay only $10 less and sacrifice 1,000 cubic inches of space and endless utility for trips that don't involve an airplane. Eagle Creek's XL is only 3 linear inches too large and only $10 more than the L size. The bigger bags in both brands are oversize for the airlines I fly (usually Delta). What's your experience with these two brands in particular?ģ). What is your experience with rolling duffels? For those who've used lots of different types of bags, how do they compare?Ģ). This is the best I've seen in terms of a compromise in lightest weight for largest volume.ġ). The former is more expensive but guaranteed the latter is almost too cheap to take a chance on, LOL! They each come in two sizes of interest: a roughly 8000 cubic inch, 65-67 linear inch version (about 4 lbs), and a roughly 6000 cubic inch, 59 linear inch version (3 or 4 lbs). In my search the Eagle Pack No Matter What and the High Sierra Wheel N Go rolling duffels caught my eye. I routinely packed that bag to exactly 50 lbs and still left stuff behind it weighed 11 lbs. I made 3 trips with a 20' Heys hardside bag (7200 cubic inches) I found at TJMaxx before Delta's hired luggage destroyers busted it up beyond repair. I 'live' part of the year in Europe and I need the space and the weight to bring necessary items with me back-and-forth (particularly as I prepare for a more permanent move to Europe). My holy grail (which I do not believe I can find in my price range) is: spinner, under 8 pounds, and as close to 62 linear inches as possible (aka as big a bag as I can get).

Hi! I am in the market for a new piece of luggage to be checked.
