Good advice, will call them! I roll up and/or spacebag my other things so the pants should be fine now that I think of it.

I'm totally one bag even for weeks but I'd so love to have something light I could actually carry with these European weight restrictions. I just received a Case Logic 22-inch rollaboard that only weighs 8 pounds and can return it but my stuff fits in it as well as my over-engineered 12-pound Briggs and Riley. Awaiting an Ebags brand convertible backpack. The also over-engineered B&G shoulder bag I have also weighs 5 pounds empty and has more compartments than I could ever use!

I have to admit I get cranky dragging things around over my shoulder and I do love the wheels, just not the weight of the bag. I'll be gone for multiple countries for five weeks in the fall and need to figure this out soon.
