What kind of luggage do you use?

Mostly Glad Contractor.

I'll occasionally use a knock off, but I'm always sorry afterwards.

I don't think they make "it will last you a lifetime" luggage anymore. I'll go to Kohl's every 3-4 years and get a new Samsonite. I refuse to spend over $100 for something the Delta will trash after 3-4 years of use. That being said, the best suitcase I ever had was an American Tourister. I bought one similar to it about 5 years ago and it tore up after 2 trips.

Same for me, except Marshall's. They have decent looking/performing stuff that doesn't cost much, so if it breaks I don't worry about it. And I really haven't had any of it break noticeably yet.

I've got away and travel pro. I like the soft side travel pro a lot better than the hard sided away. Easier to pack and holds more. User choice on whether to get 4 wheels or 2

After going to a 4 wheel spinner, I'm not sure why they even make 2 wheelers any more. It's much more freeing not having to roll that thing behind me in a relatively straight line.

I'm all about those 4 wheel spinners too

So that's what Three 6 meant when they said they were Ridin Spinners...

Ask our basketball team. Most of them are preparing to travel right now.

This guy agrees.

Can't go wrong with American Tourister softside. Mine have outlasted many airport gorillas and still look good.

Specifically looking for a larger ones for checked bags I've had a hard-sided Samsonite for a couple years, piece of garbage cracked in the top from a very minimal amount of pressure.

I like the idea of hard-sided but I'm open to soft. I'm in pretty good shape as far as carry-on options; if I'm traveling for more than a long weekend, I prefer to check bags.

I'd really love to get something that would last a while, knowing that's gonna cost money. What are the options here?

Coolife off Amazon. Affordable and durable in my experience.

I’ve been using TravelPro for about 30 years … bigger pieces for checked bags and smaller carryons … all of it has held up extremely well and been worth the money. It‘s become my go-to brand for graduation gifts, too.

I also have an LL Bean waxed canvas duffel bag that I bought about 25 years ago which is practically indestructible. It’s literally been all over the world with me, and it’s still my go-to for throwing stuff into for a weekend trip.

I have a Filson duffel that sounds similar and it's absolutely my go-to for short car trips. Thanks for the rec.

Should I color-coordinate with my braided-rope wrist bracelet and Black Rifle Coffee t-shirt, or is that dorky?

Only if you're wearing 5-11 cargo pants.
