Solo New York's Leroy Carry-On Rolling Duffel

The search for the perfect carry-on bag is over! Solo New York's new Leroy Carry-on Rolling Duffel meets carry-on requirements for most major airlines as it totes 49 liters of stuff for you. Put another way, that's five pairs of pants, six dress shirts, four pairs of shoes, a toiletry kit and then some. The compartment made especially for shoes (or maybe dirty laundry) collapses so as not to take up space if you're not carrying shoes; it's one of four zippered compartments other than the main compartment. Carry it like a duffel bag or extend the telescoping handle and roll it along on easy-glide wheels. This very handsome bag has a 5-year limited warranty. Details here
