Pathfinder's Revolution LT - The Best Wheeled Duffle Bags For Travellers

!±8± Pathfinder's Revolution LT - The Best Wheeled Duffle Bags For Travellers

Wheeled duffle bags are perfect for people only going out on short trips (1 to 2 weeks). Considerably smaller than a luggage, they offer a more manageable and mobile alternative to the hassle of constantly lugging around a big and heavy item that will make you look awkward and stressed. The wheeled duffle bag's advantage is even more apparent if you are stuck in a place with a crowd of other travelers going in different directions, since a big stocky luggage will get in the way of you and the people you pass by, constantly getting snagged and dragged in the other direction.

One of the best wheeled duffle bags I found so far is Pathfinder's Revolution LT. This rolling duffle bag is among the largest of its kind, at 32 inches by 16 inches by 16 inches, it's large enough to rival a normal luggage's carrying capacity, yet light and mobile enough to drag or roll around for long hours (useful if you got lost and had to wander around for a while). Even though it's available in black and red trims, I recommend choosing the black one because it's dark color makes it easier to hide stains and dirt, whereas the red trim can easily look dirty with just a spill of coffee, a few scrapes with dusty corridors or maybe an accidental step from a passerby.

The Revolution LT has an odd U shaped opening, as opposed to other duffle bags that have a standard, single zipped opening. The unusual shape has a purpose, though, as it makes packing and grabbing stuff out of its roomy interior fast and easy, and it becomes more apparent when you're in a hurry. A normal shapeless opening will make your items fall on top of each other, resulting in a clutter that may spill out of your bag with one careless tug of an item. The U shaped opening, on the other hand, gives your items a semi arranged form, facilitating easy removal of an item without taking the rest with it.

One more thing I noticed with the Revolution LT is that it may be the quietest wheeled duffle bag I have tested so far. Other similar wheeled duffle bags roll around with that annoying, metallic clutter coming from the ball bearings and various rivets brushing against surfaces, but the Revolution LT gets rid of this annoying noise by using silent ball bearings and uses screws instead of rivets at various stress points. So you can roll around quietly and without attracting too much attention from people.

The Revolution LT is not the cheapest wheeled duffle bag I have found, and while I didn't do much shopping and price comparison, I can easily see that it's priced at the midrange. But the high quality, comfortability and its several useful features more than justifies its less than satisfactory price. In the travel industry, you usually get what you pay for but as far as this wheeled duffle bag is concerned, you may actually get a little more than what you shell out.

More commonly known as gym bags, duffle bags are large cylindrical bags usually made out of cloth with a closure flap or zipper at the top. It can also be referred to as a kit bag, owing the name to people's tendency to put their various "kits" inside. The name duffle bag came from Duffel, a small town in Belgium where the cloth used to make the bag originally came from. These days, the name duffle bag pertains more to the style than the material used, as more and more duffle bags are made with different materials, such as synthetic fiber, leather, and other non-cloth materials.

A wheeled duffle bag, as its name suggests, is a duffle bag outfitted with wheels which give it added mobility and greatly increases ease of handling, as the presence of wheels allow the carrier to roll it around instead of carrying the entire duffle bag. Most wheeled duffle bags also include an extending handle, allowing its owner to roll it in an upright position.

A lot of people generally confuse duffle bags with travel suitcases, owing to the new types of duffle bags that have a rectangular shape instead of a circular one. In these cases, the only noticeable distinction is their sizes, with travel suitcases being much more larger and spacious than the duffle bag. The lines, however are blurred once again with the appearance of larger duffle bags aimed to replace its suitcase cousins.

As for choice in brands, there are a large number of quality brands available, but as far as popularity goes, Tumi seems to be the most favored by critics and frequent travelers, due to its extensive attention to details and bag design (Tumi currently holds more than 25 patents for design and engineering), resulting in their bags being regarded as industry measuring sticks for durability and physical appearance. Another advantage with Tumi bags is their patented Exclusive Tracer Protection, which helps greatly in helping owners trace, locate, and reunite with lost or stolen bags. The tracer system works perfectly in tandem with their already exceptional warranty service.

Regarding online stores, there are currently three credible luggage-centric stores available on the internet. Arguably the best luggage and bag store of the three, eBags.com is highly regarded by buyers due to its user-friendliness and competitive prices and features. It also has the greatest variety of items and bags and frequently puts items on discounts and sales. It has recently offered free shipping on selected items.

The other two great online bag stores are the appropriately named Magellans.com, which has fewer choices than eBags because it directly targets travelers' specific needs. The third store, Zappos.com, has even less choices avaiable despite its great many features. This is the result of focusing on the hottest trends and as a side effect, it also has less competitive prices since trendy bags and in fashion items tend to cost more. In its favor, Zappos.com offers free shipping both ways, and has a great customer service.
