If you are a person who travels often and need to be flexible with backup personal items buying a high quality carry-on is for you. For decades I have used the same Tumi and Hartman bags and brief cases in my travel.  They have withstood the wear and tear of frequent travel.  While the bags are light they can also carry weighty documents, clothes and travel gear. Weather they are made of ballistic nylon, wool or leather, these bags will retain their shape and appearance. My Tumi and Hartman products have been used over ten years and still retain their fit and finish. Hartman will also for a nominal fee recondition the bag.  I have never been disappointed with the bags. They have been a constant companion in my road warrior travels. You may pay a little more for them but over time they are a high value item to support you worldly pursuits. These travel cases also make good holiday presents for the active household traveler.
