FORBES: EAGLE CREEK (2020)

Holiday Gift Guide 2020: The Best Travel Luggage

From hard-sided carry-ons to rolling duffels, from expandable to the most durable, here are the top luggage picks to gift someone this holiday season.

Duffel on wheels

The 110L Cargo Hauler Wheeled Duffel by Eagle Creek is great for summer camps, long adventure trips, and other occasions when plenty of room is needed. It can be carried like a backpack, wheeled, or hoisted on the shoulder. (The backpack straps are removable.) It has six heavy-duty tie-downs, lockable zippers, reinforcement at the weakest points for extra support, and u-shaped zipper opening for easy access to the main compartment. The rectangle shape is great for stacking with other luggage and it folds into a stuff sac for easy storage. The foam-padded bottom helps keep your contents safe from impact.

Warrior Wheeled Duffel Carry-On is a nice combination of organized travel with rugged adventure. There’s a padded sleeve for laptops; the main compartment is expandable; and it has a great feature—the Equipment Keeper—that secures jackets and gear to the top of the bag. The oversize wheels are great for curbs, bumpy sidewalks, and rough terrain. If you’ve overpacked and want to make the suitcase carry-on size, the compression straps on the front and the interior compress wings are great for a snug, secure fit. The fabric is water-resistant, which makes it great in all weather. Eagle Creek has been creating luggage and gear for over 40 years.
