The Rough and Tumbler test, which entailed filling carry-on suitcases until they weighed 20-25 lbs and tumbling them up to 1,000 times, is among one of the tests done by Consumer Reports. The tests determined which of 12 brand suitcases were the toughest of travelers.  The report was quite interesting and you can see the chart to the left of what was found in terms of durability, capacity and convenience. 

The bottom line is, Tumi was rated best overall with more room than most brands! Highest in quality and price, the Tumi Alpha 22″ Carry-On costs $595.  It was also determined that there are other brands that cost less and are still good quality but didn’t perform as well in every test category.  It comes down to your preference and price range as to what bag is perfect for your needs. So don’t overlook the Victorinox NXT, Hartmann Stratum and Briggs & Riley Baseline or any of the other top carry-ons!

The Eagle Creek Centerline Load Warrior 25″ is the ultimate answer for the lightest and most durable luggage.  This luggage packs like an upright but is lightweight like a duffel.  At just over 7 lbs, this upright will hold all of your packing needs and stay within the 50 lb weight limit.  Our family takes many ski trips, this bag holds all our ski-wear and still remains within the weight limit… unbelievable!  The Centerline Load Warrior comes in a variety of sizes for all your travel needs but I personally find that the 25″ is the perfect size for a week’s vacation.

Perfect For

Anyone who is looking for the lightest weight luggage that will hold up to the rigors of airline bag handlers.  With its’ two tone color palette, it is very easy to spot on the airline carousel.

Favorite Feature

This bag is amazingly durable, considering how lightweight it is.  Our family is not exactly delicate with our luggage and this bag takes a beating from us and the airlines but still comes out looking great.

Drawbacks

The only drawback might be the lack of interior pockets.  However, if it had these pockets then it wouldn’t be as lightweight.

Bottom Line:

This luggage may be a bit pricier than some of the competitors but no one can compete with the weight and durability of this Centerline Load Warrior.  It has been the best investment for my family.  When my kids go off to camp, they will be getting their own Eagle Creek luggage.  I’m keeping mine!
