(my favorite is a 20" eagle creek international roller - only 2 wheels, but they're heavy duty and I adore it. Most of my luggage is eagle creek, with a couple B&R in there too). REI outlet doesn't seem to have anything online now, but the regular
REI site has a few options. Oh, actually, it looks like they have the updated version of hubs' North Face there!
For super lightweight spinners. agree Lipault worth a look, also Kipling. Esp if you have an outlet store nearby.
I'm a luggage, bag, backpack collector and my first serious purchase was a eBags Motherloade! I ended up getting the Junior size too. I traveled all over Europe for 6 months with the regular one. Love it so much got the Junior size for shorter trips. Then after that, I've purchased all kinds of everything, from Tom Bihn, Eaglecreek, Rimowa, Patagonia, B&R, Samsonite, Mont Blanc, and whoever else I probably have it. There's just so many travel styles that you just can't use just one bag for them all, so I switch up depending on where I'm going and how long I'm staying, but the Motherlode is still very dear to my heart😁
