Great Bag

I bought this bag to tote my basketball shoes and basketball to the gym and I was worried it would be a little small but it definitely does the job. If I needed I could easily toss in a towel and change of clothes too. Glad I opted for the medium instead of… read full review »

Belkin F8N044 Org Cushtop (Orange)

I can't use my laptop without it.

I have this in the brown and blue color. My laptop was making my lap really toasty. I like to use it while lounging, so I ordered this cush top lap desk. The angle is perfect and it is very durable. It keeps all of the heat off of my lap and now I can use it indefinitely without my lap getting hot. It is not that heavy, so it doesn't put any undue weight on your lap. My fiance liked mine so much, he stole it. So, I ordered one for him (in gunmetal and orange). Now we're both happy laptopers. Highly recommend this… read full review »

Columbia Sportswear The Great Conversion Backpack

The best traveling carry on backpack there is.

Don't choose between a bag and a backpack, cause you can have it all in one bag. The (UU9201) Columbia Great Conversion Backpack makes traveling in carry on mode a snap. Want a backpack? Unzip the shoulder straps from the strap concealing compartment on the back of the pack and clip them to the bottom of the pack. You're off! Want a bag? Unclasp the shoulder straps from the bottom of the pack, and zip them away. Away you go! Want to check your bag, just stow the straps and join the "I hope my bag made it", lottery with the… read full review »

Skyway avalon 24" expandable rolling

perfect size without being to heavy

I think It's a great suitcase. If you go any larger-you probably will have to pay more for having a heavy bag. It's easy to roll and the handle tucks away when you are ready to check in. The bag comes in other colors other then black. So it is easier to find your bag amongst the others. It has nice compartments inside, for shoes or snorkel fins and has a removable toiletry bag as well as room to expand. I have the charcoal color and find it much easier to recognize then the black suitcases that so many people… read full review »

I needed new luggage this year and I wasn't happy about it because I loved my old luggage. It was tweed and leather and it was gorgeous and it lasted for 20 years. As we're getting older though we're realizing we really do need wheels on our luggage. (especially because the hubby was too stubborn to get a cart and insisted on carrying it and then yelling at me for overpacking *grin*) The problem? First.....I need luggage I can "nest." I live in a highrise and I'm not about to waste too much closet space on luggage. And don't talk to me about using it… read full review »

I love this backpack. It comes with different colors and I have the pink one. It is roomy and can hold lots of binders and books. What i don't like about it is that it has a grip-like on the straps and it's annoying. Maybe it might be a pro to you but it's a con for… read full review »

I just love this backpack. It simple yet so many features. Ideal for laptop carrying, everyday school use, small travels. It has lifetime warranty, Targus do great work in making this notebook backpacks. Its very convinient to carry your notebook in this backpack and it has enough space for all your stuff like water bottle, notes, books, copies, mp3 player, CD/ dvd, stationary, etc etc. It weighs 2.4 lbs by it self so that not a very positive point of it but still for this size its not so bad. Its look is pretty cool. And its touch feels like sturdy. Its a reliable worth spending everyday /… read full review »

Jansport Wasabi Backpack

Sturdy but annoying

MAR

2008

This backpack is great as far as backpacks go. Jansport always has high quality products. My only problem is the zipper. The zipper is intentionally covered up to make the backpack look nicer, but that also adds an annoyance because it is forever getting caught. It is difficult to access the zipper sometimes. You must unwork to uncover it first, and then unzip. Also, the zipper is usually the first thing to break. I have used 3 Jansport backpacks in my life, and the zipper is the thing that causes me to stop using it.… read full review »

Maxpedition makes an entire line of bags, backpacks, and cases, so I naturally looked into their products when I needed a durable soft case for my 14" Dell notebook. The Tactical Attache is made a dense but pliable ballistic nylon. It comes if black and foliage green. There are two main compartments, the largest of which will hold a notebook computer as well as an inch thick collection of documents. There is also an array of small outer packets on one side for miscellaneous items and two end pouches with retaining cords designed to hold Nalgene or similar water bottles. Finally there is a… read full review »

London Fog Oxford Wheeled Garment Bag, 44"

My bag holds everything but the kitchen sink!

To the PointWhen I was in Macy's before our cruise I saw a garment bag on sale for $140. It is still on sale at www.macys.com with a retail value of $280. Knowing we would be taking formal clothing on our cruise this was a must have and it turned out to be a fantastic purchase. This is the London Fog Oxford Wheeled Garment Bag, 44". — A Closer View — — The London Fog Oxford measures 44 inches by 4 feet in length and x 23 inches deep. It weighs 10 pounds. I thought that it was much lighter than my mom's Atlantic garment bag but it actually just feels lighter for some… read full review »

Wally Bags 52" Dress Bag

Basic, good looking garmet bag.

FEB

2008

The Wally Bags 52" Dress Bag is a basic, full-length bag that keeps clothing neat, organized, and out of the weather from home to destination. There is a full-length zipper closure. Handles at top and bottom Velcro together for easy transport. I use the bag at least twice a month for business travel within my state. — The only 'frill' on this bag is a lockdown mechanism for keeping hangers in place. It took a moment to figure out how to load and lock the mechanism the first time out, but has worked first time every time since. The bag… read full review »

I use my laptop often and am constantly using it in different rooms of the house. My husband noticed me lugging it throughout the house with the cord following behind me and made a comment that there had to be a better way. For Christmas, he bought me the Belkin Pockettop Notebook Case. He purchased it from Office Max for $29.99. — The Facts — Manufacturer claims: —… read full review »

I have a similar laptop back pack. The second I put my laptop in the bag and on my back, my back starts to hurt, BAD. I also have a carring case for my shoulder or to hold, and it is so much better. If you are looking at this, change your mind because it will hurt, especially younger users. You're better off going out and bying a messenger bag laptop case. 100% better off. —… read full review »

Don't waste your money if you are a heavy traveler! I purchased this set for the 3 of us in my family. Good thing this set was on sale becuase I would be packing it off to the store if I had purchased it at full price! It will do for our occasional trips to see family and our annual beach trip but I have doubts that it will hold up if we ever have to fly using this luggage. The zippers are hard to open and close. The inside has stiff plastic sides to help keep the suitcase from not folding on you. The hard plastic on the inside of… read full review »
