Need a new travel bag for 2-3 day bus trip... any suggestions?

[padawan]

Need something that will handle 2-3 day business trip with suit, dress shirts, etc.

5.11 makes a roller carry on that may fit the bill.

Will be flying commercial.

Any suggestions from the INGO road warrior folks?

Tagged for interest. I too am looking for a medium sized case for air travel.

Wow, I thought bus trip was like, bus trip! Bag or no, don't go! If you have the means, Pelican makes good stuff, Vertx also came out with a garment bag that looks pretty decent as well!

Yea... not taking greyhound this time... Already have 2 Pelican 1610's w/ wheels but they are heavy and I'm getting old...

Need to go... gotta pay the bills...

It's what I'll probably end up using.

A little different than mainstream pieces of luggage. Little more pricey as well, but with some nice features.

Here are some reviews of carry-on and checked luggage options should you want to go traditional.

Not the luggage you are looking for but my favorite travel accessory is the Maxpedition Tactical Travel Tray.

I bought this last year and have flown and car traveled with it. I like it. Rolling Luggages - MAXPEDITION

I'm not a road warrior by any means. I use my cheapo Walmart $50 special about 6-8 times a year. I bought it 16 years ago. Mostly driving, doesn't get the airport beating but a few times a year.

I travel almost weekly and have for over 10 years. I had a 5.11 SOMS 2 for for almost 3 years till the baggage handlers at PHL managed to shave BIG flat spots in both of the wheels. 5.11 was no help with replacement wheels. The suitcase (actually a rolling duffel) was still in good shape till then having only lost corner bumpers; it lasted longer than the Swiss/Victorinox I had before it (zippers started failing after a year or so). My current luggage is Briggs & Riley Medium Upright Duffle, UWD127, Baseline, Duffle Bags | Briggs & Riley Official Site that's about 4 yrs old and looks new. All of these are too big to carry on, but the 5.11 and (especially) the Briggs & Riley are well built, the Victorinox was slightly better than a $50 WalMart special... If you only plan to use it once or twice you can probably get by with about anything.

I have the black version of this, and I used to love it but the color made it difficult to see my multitool and flashlight that are kept in black pouches. While looking for a new toiletry bag, I found these and I like them better (bright yellow makes things easy to find): Travel Tray Large Valet for Keys & Wallets by Red Oxx Mfg.. Beats the hell out of an inverted ball cap!

In fact, if I were looking for a non-rolling carry-on I would give one of these a hard look: Airline Carry-on Luggage by Red Oxx Mfg. Home of the Air Boss.

They also make gun cases...
