Materials — The bag is made from 100% recycled Cordura material. It’s abrasion and tear resistant and has an eco-friendly water-repellent coating. All materials and chemicals used in the construction of this bag are Bluesign-approved. Sizes– The Osprey Sojourn is available in 60 and 80-litre models. Both are massive and unless you truly need a shed load of stuff, the 80-litre model will be way too big for 99% of travellers. The 60-litre model is more suitable, especially if your trip takes you to a range of climates and weather conditions – there’s plenty of room inside for cold weather gear as well as your beach stuff! Rolling — When pulled along, the Sojourn is excellent. The HighRoad Chassis and large wheels offer plenty of ground clearance and exceptional stability – only the roughest of cobbled streets will cause a problem! The bag features a double-stem ErgoGrip retractable handle which makes even the heaviest loads easy to manoeuvre.

Look out for bags that use ripstop fabrics. These prevent any small holes growing and becoming a big problem. Capacity There are also compression straps inside to ensure everything stays in place when you're wheeling the case.

Of course the whole point of having a wheelie case is so that you can wheel it as often as possible. So you need it to have good, study wheels and be comfortable and easy to pull along. Which fortunately the Osprey Farpoint Wheeled 65 is. I still wanted one with wheels for all those times when I could pull it along, but it needed to be lightweight, with sturdy straps and good hip support, and smaller than 80L so I could actually carry the damn thing. Reinforced Internal Aluminium Frame – gives the bag a permanently rigid structure without adding unnecessary weight which is ideal for towing when only part filled

Wheelie duffle bags are often a bit more budget-friendly than a suitcase - plus, there are many eco options available, with many bags made from recycled materials. Best wheeled duffle bags at a glance: Versatile. With both wheels and a harness, you can carry it comfortably when you have to, and pull it along smoothly when you don’t. The Antler Urbanite is made from crinkle nylon which offers you a hard-wearing fabric that is not only waterproof but can withhold the strain of any adventure you may be thinking of embarking on. Wheels — Eagle Creek’s Convertible Carry-On bag features chunky wheels that roll well over most terrain. They have a chunky tread pattern to ensure they keep rolling. When using the wheels, the bag relies on a single stem, crush-proof T-handle. It’s not the most manoeuvrable but the bag’s smaller size and low centre of gravity mean this doesn’t matter too much.The pull handle is a single pole with a T-shaped handle at the end. It doesn’t feel as solid and sturdy as the one on my wheeled suitcase but it’s comfortable to pull, and this minimalist design obviously helps to make the bag lighter. It's lightweight and easy to pull along - and has multiple handles so you can carry it the way that suits you best. Adjustable– The Farpoint Trek is fully adjustable. The suspension system can be moved to accommodate a range of torso sizes and the straps can be fine-tuned to ensure maximum comfort for all users. In general 35-40L is enough for a short trip under a week (or those who are capable of travelling very light!) In general, if you are travelling for longer than a week, you’ll need between 50-65 l. Detachable day bag

Adjustable– The newest versions of the famous Farpoint/Fairview bags are fully adjustable. The torso length and straps can all be fully customised to fit you exactly. This makes for a super comfortable carry experience, although it can take a few goes to get it all set up right! Oversized 90mm Wheels – with steel bearings for towing even on uneven terrain without damaging the main chassis

Spotted in Guatemala. Not my suitcase, but I’ve definitely been guilty of this in the past! Travel with a wheeled suitcase You’ll probably end up wheeling it most of the time, which means you may be better off just using a normal suitcase if you’re not going anywhere off-road Since I’m only 5’8, much taller people may find they have the same issue with the Osprey Farpoint 65, so if you can it’s worth going into a shop and trying it out with a load inside before you commit.
