Unfortunately, I can only find this particular one in MZ but I have an.amazon link for the category in the description. I guess it more the concept. Just arrived in Tokyo with the bag on my first trip with it. Performing super well so far. No tipping over
It was fantastic on my recent trip to Japan for 13 days. Enough space, and great to keep myself organised, and easy to travel with on Tokyo underground when switching hotels across the city. Couldn't have been better. Will be coming on my upcoming trip too.
After recent trips using different styles of suitcase/bags (4 wheel, 2 wheel, hiking pack) I've come the same thoughts as you, that a wheeled duffle bag with straps is the best all round solution. Just trying to decide which one to get. I must add that packing cells are a game changer, so easy to keep everything organized and nicely folded, quick and easy to unload and load bag, and easy to re-arrange/look for items at the airport rather than throwing all your clothes on the floor.
Great video! I have one major concern though with these bags and that is security. Unlike regular hard case luggage, these rolling duffel ones have several smaller outside pockets without security features or locks that we can use to secure them. This is very important esp when travelling by air. I do own 2 Thule Chasm 110L rolling duffels and that is my only complain about the bags. My only solution to this is I have the bags wrapped at the airport but that is not really ideal because I have to settle extra (unnecessary) payments (between $5 and $10 per bag one way) everytime I travel. I used to get those heavy duty cable locks, but even those were broken by baggage handlers while on stopovers. I really do want to love them, but it's just a bit tricky when using them on flights.
Totally get what you're saying! Those duffels are awesome but can be a bit sketchy with all those pockets. Wrapping them at the airport is a hassle, and not something i would do. I tend not to travel with anything so valuable in my checked luggage - and my suitcases have never been that secure. But I do hear you, for sure.
Thanks - personally I prefer my flylite. I did look at the high sierra as I had a back pack from them once. But I don't like the aesthetic of the V4 composite, and I find the t-bar extension handle problematic - it's not very stable as you pull it along. Less stable than my flylite I thought.
I’m afraid that might just be available in Australia and New Zealand. However, I did put an affiliate link to this wheeled duffel bag section on Amazon. They have some good options there. Hope that helps!
@drrogerwilkinson330 it’s on the strandbags site - 60cm size. I had 72cm but that looks out of stock or discontinued now. Search for Flylite Onyx 72cm.
The problem with duffel bags is that it doesn’t offer much protection when tussled around. No fragile item can be in it unless you wrap the item with a towel to absorb jarring motions such as loading and unloading from the cargo area. For mostly clothings and such a duffle bad is fine, I have one. Just remember it doesn’t offer much protection unlike a regular luggage.
@@PocketCams I've shopping for a harder case luggage with polycarbonate body but it flexes a lot and not and different from a soft luggage. Now looking at aluminum ones but it might get dented.
Sorry - I think it might only be in NZ and Aus. But I have included a link to that section of luggage on Amazon - it should default to your location. I hope that helps.
@@PocketCams Thanks I thought that might be the case but I cannot find your link to luggage I'm afraid. I see links for selfie sticks etc but not luggage?
I use an extremely lightweight backpack with removable straps on a two-wheeled frame. You can also remove the frame and just use it as a backpack. I think it holds about 35 l. The big selling point is that it weighs less than 4 lb.
Hey Sarb. You have the right answer I reckon. I've had a MacPac Global 80 for maybe 9 years. Similar concept but without the compartments. I can be 2 weeks with perhaps 13kg of packed luggage. I dont use the harnesses very often though. Other advantage of semi soft sides is the ability to squish ... especially into tiny rental cars. Nothing has ever been damaged inside, but I pack strategically, with clothes on the outside and other stuff in the core.
Okay... Unrelated comment -- do you have a video "Insta360 software -- phone v. desktop"? I am debating -- do I really want to invest the Inst360 speed reader (phone only). Keep up the vides!
I don't, but maybe I should, eh? I use phone for 95%+ of my edits. Especially now they have improved the resolution and bitrate of exports. The speed reader is an interesting one. I wouldn't be surprised if @Insta360 are looking at this carefully - the USB port for the new iphone has complicated things a bit.
it does NOT matter what you think! everyone has their own preference, styles and likes along with their budgets on what they can afford🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I agree and have been using the same style bag for decades and it’s served me well to circle the globe. Have a great trip!
Thanks, Adam - appreciate you as always :) Travel well and safe yourself too!
Where the heck is the link for the suitcase?

@@PocketCams Darn, because I'm looking for a backpack/rolling duffel type bag that isn't gigantic but not a small carry on either.
I’m trying to find the link to 🥲
What a waste of time
@@Hatemothoh. Look. A HATEmoth😂
So how did it go with your travels?

Totally agree. I’ll have more with a packing guide coming soon!
I use the Eastpak Leatherface in size L. Wheels so smoothly. I also use the TNF Basecamp in S for carryon. Hope this helps.

Cheers for the fantastic review. Do you recommend this over the High Sierra V4 Composite?

I'm frustrated -- I can't seem to find the exact bag being demonstrated. 😢
I’m afraid that might just be available in Australia and New Zealand. However, I did put an affiliate link to this wheeled duffel bag section on Amazon. They have some good options there. Hope that helps!
@@PocketCams I am in Australia and cannot find this bag. Its almost like it never existed.

You know it was bad when the airline didnt even make a fuss and just replaced it😂
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

totally hear you. I use a harder-shell case when I need to pack something fragile. But that's pretty rare.
@@PocketCams I've shopping for a harder case luggage with polycarbonate body but it flexes a lot and not and different from a soft luggage. Now looking at aluminum ones but it might get dented.
Now that you have owned the duffle for a bit, how do you like it? Do you plan a follow up?
We prefer wheeled duffles.
Where can you buy this duffel in Canada?

@andreawickham-foxwell4028 oh thanks for letting me know! Looks like it got deleted somehow. I’ll fix it in an hour or so when I get back home.
Here's the link: geni.us/wheeleddufflebag - thanks again!

So it's like a transformer backpack? That's pretty cool! I wonder if it can make me a cup of coffee too ;)
Where do i get this ??
In New Zealand - are you here? If not - I have put a link in the description with similar alternatives on Amazon

The MagSafe clip is looking good, where to buy those? And how do I call it? Thanks!
Which one?

Er. Yes. Like life, right?
