Took us round Europe by rail
Mighty pleased with the two wheeled duffels that we bought for our Interrail trip. The rucksack straps were the thing that sold this bag for me, and they proved really useful on the metros in Madrid and Paris. In practice, I like just about everything about theses bags. Since they're squashy on the top and sides, it's easier to squeeze them into tight storage racks on train carriages. And having handles on all four sides makes these bags super manoeuvrable. The top and front zipped compartments are useful for things you need in a hurry and the three-stage handle extension is good for trailing the back in less or more crowded enviroments. The shortest extension was great for wheeling through turnstiles because bag and owner need to be close. No idea how long the bags will last because that would require many more trips. So far, they're doing well. They certainly look like they'll go the distance. When we came home on Eurostar, another couple asked us where we got our bags because they looked 'stronger than other bags'.
