Pros/Cons of a roller bag or backpack

Hmmm? Let's see here. Pam, you're singing my song.

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

&#;Used Convertible backpack for 3 years including 2 European trips of 8 weeks and 4 weeks each.

&#;Could hardly lift it around to my back, even though I kept the weight down to less than 20 pounds.

&#;Had to put the backpack on the bed and sit down to get it on, or set it on a counter and back into it.

&#;Arms were bruised from slinging it around to position it. I hate it when that happens.

So for the last 6 years I've used a Lipault spinner or an Eagle Creek 2-wheeled bag. I pack so that neither weighs more than 20 pounds total. Both are carry-on size. I still prefer the spinner and have had no issues with it on rough terrain.

I have never regretted having a roller bag. Keeping the weight low makes it easy to put on racks and in bins above my head. I travel by train or bus most of the time. Roller bags are convenient in lots of situations besides the airport.

But I'm now looking at the Appenzell Day Pack as my main bag, so that I can have my hands free to use a cane if I need to. It's going to be a decision about adding the weight to my annoying knees.

My roller bags each weigh 5-6 pounds empty. Doing the math, I should be able to keep the weight below 15 pounds. I'm really working on that. It's amazing how much some stuff weighs, so I'm having to be very disciplined about what I need to take vs. what I want to take.
