I'm looking for advice on buying luggage: good (or bad) brands, and any other hints:
Between us,
cattitude and I have one wheeled bag (just small enough to be a legal carry-on for North American flights), one backpack (ditto, if packed carefully), and some smaller backpacks (one of which I sometimes use for weekend trips, if it's not winter).
Not only would we like to have more than one bag that isn't a backpack, but both the wheeled bag and the backpack are wearing out. I've had the backpack at least since 1995, and it's well made, but I don't know whether the bags Eagle Creek is selling in 2013 are as well-made.
Between us,
