selecting the Right Luggage For Your Trip
Choosing the right luggage for your trip is one the most leading decisions of the vacation planning process. Obviously if you want to go backpacking straight through Europe you aren't going to be bringing a suitcase and if you are packing suits for a business trip you aren't going to throw them in a backpack. So I guess the best request would be, "What are my options?"
Option 1: The Suitcase
The days of the hard suitcase are over. Now in any place you look its fabric suitcases with complicated zippers for various compartments. They are for the most part light weight and very convenient. The most favorite bags seem to be the ones that have wheels and a retractable deal with so you can naturally wheel you bag down the hall instead of carrying. The wheels can damaged any way and no one wants to buy a new bag just because of the wheels so you might as well learn how to replace your luggage wheels. An mean bag will run you about dollars and sets of 4 or 5 decent quality bags can be had for about 0.
Option 2: The Backpack
Visiting hostels colse to the world? Taking a short trip to see some friends? Just want to look cool? Then the backpack is for you. There are many variations of the trip backpack. There are very large ones that act approximately as a duffel bag, very small ones that can be used as a daypack for short trips from the hostel and the standard sizes that come with complicated compartments for your water, guide books, clothes, etc. Strapping a bag to your back is the only way to trip in the middle of complicated destinations and you'll beat it up a bit with all of that traveling so buy a good one. They can be had for as cheap as on sale but most will run you in the middle of and 0.
Option 3: The Duffel Bag
Ah the excellent duffel bag. Duffel bags have come a long way since the excellent tan one compartment army bag of old. They still have one large main compartment but most have a incorporate more on the sides for easy access to water and books. They look a lot cooler now a days too and some can even turn into a backpack. Use a duffel bag when one large main compartment makes sense. Ski boots for instance would need such a place. Duffel bags come in a lot of sizes so to is a good bet.
Just remember to think about your particular trip situation in expand because the right bag can make the perfect trip.
