You can rely on Rick Steves for all of your travel needs. From organized tours and city guides, to tv shows and tips on safe travel, he is the ultimate travel know-it-all. Selecting the right luggage can be difficult for the casual once every few years traveler; why not trust someone who has put products to the test several times over?

Rick Steves’ line of luggage and travel gear includes several smart styles. The Convertible Carry On Backpack is the maximum size permittted for carry on (21″ X 14″ X 9″), so it can be checked when flying or worn as a backpack during your stay. This is possible by a zip expansion to allow for heavier packing and compression straps for when you have a lighter load. The backpack and padded waist straps simply tuck away when not in use.

Not much of a backpacker? Rick’s collection also includes several wheeled options, like the Avanti Rolling Tote. This wheeled tote is perfect for holding all of the items you need while on board, and even an extra stash of clothes- in case your luggage doesn’t follow you to your destination (no, that never happens).

The entire collection of Rick Steves Travel Gear comes in five attractive colors and is available on Luggage Online.

In the past few years, it’s as if we’ve been going green until we’re…well, blue in the face. Every effort to go green, no matter how big or small, is making a positive impact on the environment and our future - we can’t give up!

Best of all, the wheeled carry on weighs just 9lbs, talk about energy conservation!
