If you just need one huge rolling bag, reviews recommend this rolling 6,100-cubic-inch duffel as an excellent value. Packing is easy with two inner compartments and two outside pockets plus a wet-dry pocket for damp gear. The Osprey SpaceStation bag is made with tear-resistant ballistic nylon, and the lifetime warranty even covers baggage-handling damage for domestic travel. If you don't need this much packing space, reviews recommend the Briggs & Riley Transcend 20 Carry-on Upright (*Est. $200), whose lifetime warranty covers accidental damage, even outside the United States.

Outside Magazine reviews the Osprey SpaceStation 100 in its 2008 Summer Gear Guide, testing it in comparison with other new luggage for durability, comfort and ease of use. This is the only review we found that covers this specific Osprey luggage, but owners review quite a few other Osprey models at REI.com.

1. Outside Magazine

Based on abusive tests of new luggage, including trying to soak it with water, Outside editors recommend the Osprey SpaceStation 100 as the best value. It's roomy yet protective and well- organized.

2. REI.com

The SpaceStation 100 hasn't accumulated any reviews here yet at the time of our report, but owners give other Osprey luggage mostly high ratings here, with praise for design and construction. The plastic base on another wheeled model seems to be a weak point.
