Luggage
 
I have been in the market for some good durable luggage as of late.
I have been looking at Away and Monos. Any other suggestions would be great :thumbsup:

I guess it depends on what kind of travel. When I was traveling a lot for work (75-100k air miles per year, but I know that’s not by some standards), I used Tumi carryons for years with no issues. It’s expensive but worth it in the long run. In retirement I still have an old Tumi, but my wife and I now have Victorinox, which have been great for occasional leisure travel - durable, practical, and reasonably light.

Tumi for me. 3 flights a week 50 weeks a year. 17 years running. Tumi will last the longest.

+1 for Tumi. Had two sizes of rollers and an all leather over the shoulder briefcase for years and years.

Wow - either you’re traveling when no-one else is or looking ahead for the good times. I moved to Rimowa right before the lock down - given what I think will be the downturn in business travel combined with the quality of those pieces, I suspect they will last me for the remainder of my travels. Can’t go wrong with Tumi.

Briggs & Riley for me for the last 20+ years.

Their U78 large roller garment and other pieces have stood the test of time, lifetime warranty too which I've had to test after American and another time Delta did their worst. B&R backed it up without issue.

I used Victorinox when I was flying 200,000 + miles a year. Inexpensive and moderately durable.

Another Briggs and Riley fan here. I’ve used them for 20 plus years and logged nearly2 million miles with them.

Weirdcuba 02-28-2021 05:27 PM

I forgot to say that I was a Briggs and Riley person for at least a decade before Rimowa - and really just wanted the change in style (which appears as it it will be my last one, as business travel will suffer in the long run from all of this). Briggs and Riley worked well and has great customer support and service.

thanks everyone! Briggs and riley has the lead

I travelled using Hartmann for well over 30 years. High quality, looks good, subtle but recognizable quality, stands out just enough to be identifiable on a luggage rack, but not an immediate target for theft. I travelled globally for many years as an executive..

If you are also considering an over-the-shoulder weekend bag, check out Shinola Detroit. I have their Brakeman Holdall - super simple, well-made.

This was my luggage for short haul overnight trips or when I needed to move fast through Heathrow, Frankfurt or Paris hubs in transit for longer hauls.

Small capacity but loads of fun :D

That’s great for the headphones but what about the amp?

Masterlu 06-18-2021 10:45 PM

Rack & Pinion steering? :D

Tumi for me
