NEWS – A couple of days ago, I told you all about Leatherman’s latest gear which just happens to be t-shirts and hats instead of multi-tools. Now another huge player in the multi-tool/EDC world has rolled out (see what I did there?) new versions of their Spectra line of rolling luggage. The 65% of the …

REVIEW – Carry-on suitcases are a dime a dozen. Everybody makes one. They all do pretty much the same thing – hold your junk and fit in the overhead bin on an aircraft. Why should we care about any new ones that come on the market? To be noticed in the fray, it would need …

REVIEW – I have something of an almost diagnosable mania for luggage and backpacks. I guess it’s because I feel like the right travelling gear can really make or break your travel days. When Kabuto offered up a premium carry-on to review right before my family vacation, I was all over it! What is it? …
REVIEW – We didn’t travel much in 2020 due to COVID; instead, we chose to be cautious and hang out at home a lot. Hopefully things will look better in 2021, especially if these vaccines work well. If they do, then we’ll definitely take a vacation or two. Maybe we’ll head down to Myrtle Beach, …
REVIEW – I remember travel. We used to do it. In fact, we were in New Zealand on a cruise in March 2020 when the proverbial COVID poo hit the fan, our 56-day trip was cut short by 44 days, and we had to fly home from Sydney, Australia immediately after disembarking the ship. Some …

REVIEW – Our family has several pieces of luggage, but after traveling to Asia and back and all over the east coast, they’re pretty beaten up. Additionally, they are not very flexible, as they have one main compartment for storing everything. It’s time to try something new, preferably something that is both durable and flexible. …
Several weeks ago, I wrote a news story on the UpCart and received some comments from our readers, including a request to review the cart. At that time, it was just a news story and I did not have one to review. Shortly thereafter, the owner of the UpCart Company saw the news story and …
When looking for the right bag, I am as captured by form as I am by function, sometimes to the point of making concessions on function when I find a real head-turning item. This is exactly the state I find myself in after using the Hardside Leather Carry On from Saddleback Leather Company.

Even though I’ve reviewed a few backpacks to hold my gadgets and stuff, this is the first bonafide suitcase I’ve reviewed. I don’t travel much for my job, but when my wife and I travel, our cheap carryons are nothing but a pain—and kinda embarrassing when seen at an airport. So when the very attractive ec-bc …

Over Memorial Day weekend, I went on a trip to visit the in-laws, and thought it would be a perfect chance to try out some new luggage. This time, however, I wanted to forego checking a bag and rely solely on carry-on luggage for a week long trip. Standard Luggage Co. offered their carry-on backpack to …
I can’t help but hear Heart’s Barracuda song whenever I look at this bag. That’s not a bad thing though because that’s a cool song and this is a cool carry-on bag.
