ISO wheel-on with back straps and detachable front day pack
For some years High Sierra used to sell a wheeled carry-on which had both hidden straps (for when you were out of arms and desperate to carry it on your back), as well as a front portion that could be detached to form a day bag (or whenever you needed to put part of the bag under the seat in front of you).
They've given up making these, annoyingly.
Anyone know of anything similar with:
1. Carry-on sizing
2. Wheels and handle
3. Backpack strap
4. Detachable front pack.

I have the original from 20 years ago and it is still in good shape. A few years ago a luggage repair place by JFK put in new wheels just cause mine still had the originals and they felt it was about time. The replacement was free under the Original No Matter What Warranty. This is still my favourite bag to use for train travel, ferries and SW

LOL. Southwest Airlines Their carry-on measurements are 24" instead of the usual 22" The original Eagle Creek was 24" including wheels because back then the carry-on restrictions were not as stringent.
Train travel and ferry travel is pretty much the only time I would use the shoulder straps to take the stairs or gangway.
