I swear by my B&R bags.
I have two: a 22 inch expandable and tri-fold suit carrier. It's rare that I have a business trip or solo holiday trip that I can't accomodate with one or both of these two bags. Sometimes outbound with the 22in as carryon and returning with an expanded bag full of a tradeshow's worth of handouts, samples and goodies. Unzipped and no longer carry-on sized it works well for the homebound run. The tri-fold suiter works for most 1-2 night trips. ^ ^
I also love the Eagle Creek line of travel packing tools. They are a perfect match to B&R bags.
Now when I travel with my wife and/or kids, completely different story.
