So I am still on a luggage kick. I love the idea of a new way to travel. I found three kinds of new luggage so I am curious what is your guy’s favorite. Personally if someone could combine them all I would be beyond happy. As it is I love the L-SOLAAR luggage. If it comes to be I think it will be the next generation of how we travel. Anyways which type of luggage do you think would be most useful?


The first is luggage with shelves. I have found two brands for this style. The first is http://www.risegear.com/. You hang the case in the closet and let gravity do the rest. The second is ShelfPack (https://www.kickstarter.com/project...d-of-luggage-with-built-in-shel?ref=discovery) It is the same as the other, but doesn’t need to be hung.

The second type of luggage is collapsible hard case luggage with GPS tracking from Néit (https://www.kickstarter.com/project...smart-collapsible-hard-case-lug?ref=discovery). When not in use this case can save a lot of space.

The third type of luggage is a true “smart” luggage. L-SOLAAR (https://www.kickstarter.com/project...art-luggage-with-solar-charger?ref=nav_search) comes with a safe box, usb chargers, a laptop bag, a removable solar charger, digital scale, power bank, bluetooth speaker, proximity detection and as well as many other features. Best of all this all fits into a carryon bag.
 
I like something cheap and light that even the nastiest baggage handler will decide it's not worth his while to bother breaking.

As much as I have traveled I have never had a problem with my luggage being abused. Maybe I have just been lucky.
 
The first one, Risegear, is neat and handy, which is what you want luggage to be. The Shelfpak might be harder to set up than it looks, like a deckchair or a clothes horse. After the novelty has worn off I think most people would go back to putting their clothes in the wardrobe. The collapsible suitcase is the stupidest thing I've seen today (mind you, it's only 11 am). Why would you want to save about 3 cubic feet of space in a hotel room? It's a complicated solution to a nonexistent problem. As for the last one, that's plain crazy. You might want bluetooth speakers and solar battery chargers when you travel but why do they have to be built in to your luggage? Why not add a chemical toilet and a solar powered sandwich toaster?

This is my idea of luggage:

Luggage type 2 and 3 come with smart locks. TSA and get in, but other wise it unlocks using the owners phone. Big down side if you lose your phone.

I used one of the padlocks which the TSA can enter, but going to Italy someone just cut it of with a bolt cutter.

Clearly an invitation to break into the bag, for the locks evidence valuable items waiting to be liberated....

Keep it simple, carry your passport, cash, cards, keys, and other pockable valuables in your cargo pants pockets.

I agree with you about the ShelfPack, but I don’t with the Rise Gear. I personally live out of my luggage when traveling. I never unpack no matter how long a stay. To me Rise Gear would be great.

To be fair some hotel rooms are fairly small. I can’t afford a suite myself and I have to rent a mobility scooter which takes up a lot of room. I could see people liking it. Also when at home it would fit nicely under a bed.

The L-SOLAAR is not only meant for travel such as flights and by train, but also for site seeing and business. The solar charger can disconnect from the carryon bag and connect to the laptop bag to keep your laptop charged all day. I think the L-SOLAAR is more suited to the hardcore traveler like business travelers and those seeing the world.

That would piss me off. That's bullshit.

Maybe. Personally I have never locked my luggage. I always kept my valuables on me or in my carryon.
 
i recommend lighter luggage. Hammocher Schlemmer offers very light weight luggage. The carry on weighs 4 lbs and the 30 inch one weighs 5.36lbs. I have used both for international travel and am very satisfied. Both on wheels.
Leather looks nice, but it is heavier and if you are running to make a connection, it will make a difference.
 
A simple, plastic holdall is my standard luggage.

I use cargo pants for their ease enabling me to keep valuable items on my person at all times, with easy access should I need to use my passport, or wallet.

Keep it simple. No flashy, fashion bags. No locks are necessary, for baggage handlers steal cash, cards, watches etc. stuff that they can easily pocket.

As someone with a really bad back I have to say I love the idea of this luggage. Thanks Benvolio.

I think in time Smart Luggage will be the standard. Flashy and fashion won't matter if most people use the same type of bag.

Most expensive things I have ever put in my luggage was Disney pins and Las Vegas shot glasses. And that is not so much that they are valuable, but that I like to collect them and I over buy.

Hiding in plain sight is the result of recognising that thieves are predictably attracted to luxury goods.

Cheap, simple, unpretentious bags rarely suffer penetration :)

So what do you think of the first type of bag? No one would know it is not a regular bag unless they opened it.
 
^I am a regular traveller who has learnt from experience that keeping ones valuables on ones person is the ideal.

A carry on bag is also a practicable solution when travelling by air, to avoid delays, and theft from luggage.

I am not a follower of fashion preferring a minimalist approach to everything that involves my life.
