I need new luggage, retiring my Da Kine travel roller after 10 years of unreliable service. What’s everyone rocking for a carry on/personal item? I swear it’s getting more and difficult to abide by the airlines constantly changing their rules and prices on bags. What gives?
Monos and CalPak are my current picks but I don’t know shit about shit.

I, like 50% of everyone at the airport, have an AWAY carry-on.

Does it stand up on its own? Have any extras? I cannot decide if I want a high end bag with lots of features or some barebones Patagonia duffle/backpack setup.

I've been traveling with the same mid-size Samsonite travel case and Osprey hiking backpack for the past 6-7 years. No complaints.

For my carry on I have a BEIS medium carry-on roller. Personal item / backpack I have an AER Travel Pack 2 that I love. I also recently got a North Face base camp voyager sling. I wish it was just slightly bigger but it does the job.
I did a 10 day trip with just the AER backpack in Feb. Did a 3 week Euro trip with my BEIS and the North Face Sling in March. Just did another 3 week euro trip with the BEIS and AER together.

I'm currently saving for a good quality leather holdall that I can get monogrammed because I have watched too much Wes Anderson in my life.

I have a beautiful Fred Perry leather bag Ive had for like ten years, was cheaper than Filson and I think looks better.
As for t shirt folding I do a classic retail fold then fold that in half and put everything in compression packing cubes.

roll them. They don’t wrinkle and take up way less space

I use a Baboon to the Moon Go-Bag as my luggage for travel because the size I got (they have 3 sizes) it can hold like 3-5 days of clothes, has a bunch of pockets, is TSA approved as a carry on and can be worn like a backpack (my preference), held like a briefcase, or carried over the shoulder. I got it on sale because I'd never heard of them and to me they were pricy, but now I think the price is totally worth it and I got another kind of bag from them. I probably won't use anything else going forward because I am sold on their products.

I have about 20 pieces of BEIS and I think I am single handedly keeping this company afloat with the amount of people I have put onto them (I'm not). I talk abt them every chance I get lmao. Plus everything is vegan.

Can we post some more photos in this thread? I have been rocking my Chrome USA Metropolis bag since 2008 and I think it's about time I finally upgrade to some grown up shit. My wife has an Away suitcase, but I am too contrarian to get myself the most popular option - there's gotta be something better out there.
Have you guys seen the subreddit r/OneBag? I really wanna get into that shit but also I think minimalists have OCD or something because the minimalist aesthetic is kinda depressing to me.
