Off to portugal with the wife and kids in a couple of weeks and think it's about time we buy some decent luggage. I've got a small and large Dakine wheelie bag I use for snowboarding, but now both kids get a luggage allowance I think it makes sense to get some long lasting luggage. Not overly huge and lightweight ideally - any recommendations?
Thanks
Anyone? Maybe a bit too OT!!
last time i was in the hated tk-maxx, they had a load of suitcases.
might be worth a trip.

I rather like Swiss brand and Antler, the latter of which you can often get cheap on their website or in their outlet stores.
TKMaxx is a great place to look to see a lot of different brands all at once and be able to compare and contrast make quality.
You might consider looking at bags which have a hard backing and 1 or 2 hard sides, but are, for all intents and purposes, 'duffle bags' in design as they tend to be quite lightweight and you can pack a lot of items in them.

i have there XL no matter what model- been through the grinding mill a few times to many shite holes - good quality zips , durable construction and hasnt let me down yet. - been to africa many times , all down auz on and off busses and planes, to the states a few times - was great for packing my gear into for going to NZ and was light/small enough that i could keep it with me while riding.
free repair if i do bust it.
