![]() Let’s dig into the problems with suitcase backpacks and why a travel backpack is a better solution for your next trip. In fact, it’s the exact opposite of the solution. A suitcase with backpack straps is not the solution. Unfortunately, many travel backpacks blend the worst features of suitcases and backpacks into a hybrid piece of luggage that doesn’t work for anyone. The ideal piece of luggage would combine the best parts of each into a suitcase/backpack hybrid. Suitcases and backpacks each have their own strengths and weaknesses. You’ll be dumping your dirty laundry on the airport floor looking for that one thing hidden at the bottom and getting dressed in your hostel or hotel room won’t be much more fun either. ![]() Regardless of size, most backpacks must be packed from the top leaving your stuff a disorganized mess. Normal backpacks are tough to pack and unpack, making most options ill-suited for travel. The problem with most backpacks is that they’re either too small to bring everything you need, or too large to meet carry on requirements. Flexible enough for any terrain, you can easily grab your bag and go. Good luck hauling a heavy suitcase up and down flights and flights of stairs.īackpacks are convenient for urban travel. Plus, many train stations, hostels, and hotels in Europe don’t have elevators or escalators. The cobblestone streets of Europe and dirt roads of less developed countries render them all but useless. Wheeled suitcases are fine on the polished floors of an airport or an office building, but suitcases have cheap plastic wheels that can break easily on uneven sidewalks. The problem with suitcases is that they aren’t made for city travel. Suitcases are great for air travel and for keeping your stuff organized. ![]()
