Roller Luggage

There are many ways to travel. Get something with quality wheels and a little extra detail to delight regularly.

How to make your Decision

Roller luggage is a dime a dozen out there BUT cheap clasps and wheels break easy. Here’s how to think about your luggage purchase:

1

Price Expectations

Expect to pay $200-700 for thoughtful designs + legit materials that last.

2

2 wheels or 4?

Spinners are amazing. 2-wheels are more durable and don’t roll away.

Details

Every roller mentioned below has something unique, something juicy.

Size

I always go for international carry on size, personally.

I make a video on this subject very occasionally. Here’s my latest comparing 10 different carry-on roller luggage options:
Briggs & Riley global spinner 21″ is more than you want to spend but it is the road warrior pick due to it’s robust expansion tech, durability and warranty. Check Price
Aer’s carry on is the only one with locking wheels. Everything solid and durable on this one with that extra little niceness. Check Price
Nomatic’s new Method Roller Luggage has the most capacity for its size… literally the entire inside is as minimal and spacious as possible without sacrificing durability. Check Price
Listen, this is a roller from a camera bag company, but it’s one of my favorite to travel with. Opens “doctor bag style.” Water bottle pockets. I *love* it. Check Price
Solgaard do this awesome expandable closet thing. If you want to organize like that, this is the one. Nice roller luggage too. Clicky clasps.  Check Price
Lojel make two carry ons, check them both out because they’re great. This Cubo pictured loads from the top into one big space, which is unique (most split in half).  Check Price
You can’t go wrong with Eagle Creek. Just pick something you like in a size that works for you. These have been legendary, utilitarian bags for forever.  Check Price
If you want a piece of history, something with a lifetime warranty that your kids will fight over when you’re dead, look no further. THE HANDLES, bro. Available as a spinner and a 2-wheel. Watch my vid.  Check Price
This one has that Eddie Murphy Raw kind of look up front, but the protective plastic in the back. Solid two-wheel roller from Wandrd.  Check Price
