Greetings,
I travel a decent amount for work and pleasure - usually 3-7 day trips, and after breaking yet another cheap rollerboard, I'm ready to get serious about my luggage, and have gotten a little of the 'onebag' bug.
What I'm looking for is a non-wheeled bag of high quality, that I can pair with a laptop bag of equally high quality that I can fit inside the luggage. The idea being I travel with just one bag, or if needed in cases of overpacking, use the laptop bag as my personal item, and when I get to my destination I leave the luggage in the hotel, and just take a nice laptop bag into the office.
I'm fairly flexible on looks, though my wife advises heavily I should look more business-friendly everyday
I'm willing to spend whatever to get a bag that lasts and has a good warranty.
So far, the two combinations I've come up with that fit my 15" Macbook Pro Retina, plus travel clothes, gear, workout clothes (Only travel with a suit once or twice a year for weddings), and the normal electronics one travels with are:
*
Tom Bihn Tristar +
Tom Bihn Cadet
or
*
Red Oxx Airboss (or maybe
skytrain?) +
Red Oxx Metro Briefcase
I would love some input from the experts here on their thoughts on the above combinations, and if there is a preference or recommendation for some other products or combo's.
Thanks!
