I may have been misunderstood. I am not looking for the cheapest luggage, I am trying to find out what people are using. I am just trying to be prepared. I start soon. I wish I were a broke 21 year old doing this... I am not.

I get it, I was just suggesting a cooler lunch bag in addition to a suitcase. I have one from LW than can clip on, slide on the handle, or hang on the hook of my LW roll-aboard.

My metal frame LW bag lasted 5 years commuting the whole time. I also had to replace the wheels twice. I just switched to the plastic frame and very happy with the weight savings. Guys who don’t commute probably get twice that amount of time out of it.

I have the Carbon. Stronger than steel, similar in weight to the plastic.

Wow big baller. I’m way too cheap for that. Don’t be surprised if I message you in 5 years to see how it’s holding up.

Their stuff is pretty good. I didn’t know they made luggage though.
