re: Luggage, best bang for the buck?

Yeti.

Double benefit: You can use as a cooler.

Tumi, Halliburton.

Halliburton is hardside though.

I have not found a bag yet that doesn’t get trashed if you check it. My advise is to get cheap hard sided check bags and a nice carry on size bag.

I shake my head when I see someone checking a Tumi or some such.

I had a Victorinox soft roll on for years. I bought it at TJ Maxx for $100. There were two and I wished I’d had bought them both. It took a beating. It finally had a handle break.

I bought an Away spinner this year. It’s a clamshell and not a flip top, which I’d rather have the latter. But it takes a beating, too, is easy to load and stack things on top of during road trips, and looks nice. I’d buy it again. It also matches all of the other Away luggage my wife has acquired over the years. I was the oddball for a while.

This is the OT. When looking for a bargain we buy tumi.

I like TravelPro.

If you want to save some money, look on Facebook Market place or Ebay. People are always trying to sell used luggage, and often it's in near perfect condition. Have bought several that way and they're great deals.

I have a 15 year old set of Victorinox luggage that won’t die and the airlines haven’t been able to kill. Built like tanks.
