Volkl 21″ Carry On

The weekend wheeler for your freewheeling lifestyle, the Volkl Rolling 21″ All Pro Carry-On fits most airline carry-on requirements so you can travel efficiently. One main compartment with a large U zip protected by a tarpaulin overskirt, the interior has cinch straps to secure the load. Two exterior pockets for stowing smaller items and clip lock cinch straps for further stabilizing your stuff against shifting in transit and added security. Nice large wheels and a toe stand for keeping the bag upright, this rolls happily through airports, across rough tarmac, and does a reasonable job of bouncing over cobblestones, thanks to the U grip handle which gives you good control over the bag. A nice size, at 42 liters, we’ve packed a bag of this size for a three week tour that included clothing fit for the arctic circle (a lot of wool was involved) and while it didn’t leave much space for souvenirs it did get us in and out of the airport quickly and easily, and fit in the overhead train racks. Just remember that in duffle style bags compression sacks are your friend, they’ll keep everything organized and accessible, and separate the clean from the dirty. A carry-on bag with a generous compartment for short and long haul touring.
