BEST TRAVEL DUFFLE VS Suitcase [2024]

Best Travel Duffle VS Suitcase [2024]. About 5 years ago, my luggage got eaten by baggage handlers on the way to London. Ok, not literally eaten, but by the time it got offloaded to the side of the bag carousel about an hour after the other bag had made it through, it looked like a T-rex had taken a few bites out of it. The damage was so bad that the airline replaced it immediately - I didn’t even have to make an insurance claim. The agent was at the airport, took one look at it, and then said yup, I can replace it with one pretty much like it right now. And since then, I’ve been travelling with this 2 wheel suitcase. To be honest, I was going to replace the old one that the T rex ate, but with the new airport insurance replacement, that seemed a bit silly. But now it’s time. Because there are quite a few disadvantages of traveling with a case like this, especially for the kind of travel I do. So, let me go through the reasons why I’m dumping my 2 wheeled large suitcase, and why I’m choosing a split-level wheeled duffle case, and not the 4-wheel spinner case that seems so popular these days.
In this video, we're going to ask: which bag is better for traveling - a suitcase or a duffle bag with wheels? We'll compare the two bags and give you our opinions on which is best for your travel needs. We think you'll find that a duffle bag with wheels is the perfect choice for packing light and carrying all of your belongings with you wherever you go. So make your decision and let us know which bag you prefer in the comments!

I agree and have been using the same style bag for decades and it’s served me well to circle the globe. Have a great trip!

Thanks, Adam - appreciate you as always :) Travel well and safe yourself too!

After recent trips using different styles of suitcase/bags (4 wheel, 2 wheel, hiking pack) I've come the same thoughts as you, that a wheeled duffle bag with straps is the best all round solution. Just trying to decide which one to get. I must add that packing cells are a game changer, so easy to keep everything organized and nicely folded, quick and easy to unload and load bag, and easy to re-arrange/look for items at the airport rather than throwing all your clothes on the floor.

Totally agree. I’ll have more with a packing guide coming soon!

I use the Eastpak Leatherface in size L. Wheels so smoothly. I also use the TNF Basecamp in S for carryon. Hope this helps.

I use an extremely lightweight backpack with removable straps on a two-wheeled frame. You can also remove the frame and just use it as a backpack. I think it holds about 35 l. The big selling point is that it weighs less than 4 lb.

So it's like a transformer backpack? That's pretty cool! I wonder if it can make me a cup of coffee too ;)

It was fantastic on my recent trip to Japan for 13 days. Enough space, and great to keep myself organised, and easy to travel with on Tokyo underground when switching hotels across the city. Couldn't have been better. Will be coming on my upcoming trip too.

Unfortunately, I can only find this particular one in MZ but I have an.amazon link for the category in the description. I guess it more the concept. Just arrived in Tokyo with the bag on my first trip with it. Performing super well so far. No tipping over

Okay... Unrelated comment -- do you have a video "Insta360 software -- phone v. desktop"? I am debating -- do I really want to invest the Inst360 speed reader (phone only). Keep up the vides!

@TheTechPacker 5 ай бұрын

I don't, but maybe I should, eh? I use phone for 95%+ of my edits. Especially now they have improved the resolution and bitrate of exports. The speed reader is an interesting one. I wouldn't be surprised if @Insta360 are looking at this carefully - the USB port for the new iphone has complicated things a bit.

Hey Sarb. You have the right answer I reckon. I've had a MacPac Global 80 for maybe 9 years. Similar concept but without the compartments. I can be 2 weeks with perhaps 13kg of packed luggage. I dont use the harnesses very often though. Other advantage of semi soft sides is the ability to squish ... especially into tiny rental cars. Nothing has ever been damaged inside, but I pack strategically, with clothes on the outside and other stuff in the core.
