Lightest carry-on luggage

by Sherry on November 25th, 2007

worlds-lightest-carry-on-luggageIf you need to travel frequently, you’re not going to want to lug around super heavy carry-on luggage every time you get onto a plane. In that case, you might want to look into Hammacher Schlemmer where they claim to have the world’s lightest rolling carry-on.

The bag only weighs 5 1/2 pounds and the overall dimensions of 44″ fall just below the limit that most airlines require. As a bonus, it’s scratch-resistant and takes a ridiculous amount of pressure to dent it.

Although it’s lightweight, it has a nice, roomy interior which includes a built-in divider and mesh pocket. The wheels are protected from possible corrosion while you’re wheeling it around outside, and the handle extends to 18″ in length to make the use very comfortable.

You can pick one up from their site in black or silver for $99.95.

    That is a very light roller bag and at a good price but I still prefer my featherlight Rick Steves convertible bag.

    It has to be an internal frame backpack for me. Those roller bags just don’t cut it on the cobblestone streets of Europe and are just so clunky when trying to get into a train.
