Gear: Satchel is light but no lightweight when it comes to access
Here’s a classy wheeled bag that not only eases the schlep factor but does so without adding burdensome weight or extra bulk that can make lifting or stashing a challenge.
The Lipault Two-Wheeled Satchel is a soft-sided nylon twill bag with an integrated mono-tube retractable handle for rolling and double-padded carry handles for lifting (or carrying the old-fashioned way).
The spacious zippered main compartment opens wild-mouth style for easy access. The satchel is available in a 20-inch carry-on size weighing 4.3 pounds, or a 5.1-pound, 24-inch bag that would probably need to be checked.
Color choices include gumdrop shades of purple, fuchsia and aqua or a quieter black or chocolate.
Lipault 2-Wheeled 20-inch Satchel is $179; 24-inch, $199.
Info: Lipault.
