Check out Outside magazines Gear Girl’s review of Overland Equipments Nantucket Bag.
Q: WHAT’S THE BEST CARRY-ON TRAVEL LUGGAGE? Now that checking bags costs an arm and a leg, I’m having trouble staying organized on short work trips. Any tips for packing everything I need to work, exercise, and dine out?
A: I always envy the travelers with those sleek black suitcases that fit perfectly into the overhead compartment. That’s not me: My bag usually earns honors as the most likely to explode by the end of the week. It’s tough to fit a laptop, running gear, and presentable clothing into two microscopic carry-ons. But I’ve honed my system enough to know this: Your best bet is to get a big wallet and second carry-on item, and reserve your primary carry-on for clothes and shoes…
…I’ve also had great luck with Overland Equipment’s ballistic nylon Nantucket bag ($75). The Nantucket measures 21 1/4″ by 12 1/2″ by 6″, and it has one big compartment, a padded laptop sleeve, a mesh zippered compartment, and three interior pockets. I’ve squeezed my behemoth MacBook, a pashmina, pens that won’t explode mid-air, a notebook, a few energy bars, my toiletry bag, and phone into the Nantucket with no problems. If I buy lunch en route, there’s even a roomy exterior sleeve that won’t smoosh a sandwich. Best of all, it’s easy to lug around airports thanks to its padded shoulder strap and a flap that slips over the handle of my wheelie luggage.
