Luggage

We chose five luggage tags that will help you identify your belongings in a sea of similar suitcases.

We tested seven packing cubes sets and found Eagle Creek’s Pack-It Original Cube Set is the best. They’re easy to pack and built to last, and they zip smoothly.

After researching 60 carry-on travel backpacks and testing 22, we’ve found that the Tortuga Outbreaker 45L and the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L set the standard.

After researching 26 models, we found that Travelpro's Platinum Elite 25-Inch Expandable Spinner Suiter is the best suitcase for most travelers who check bags.

We’ve tested 47 bags over five years, and we are convinced that the 21-inch Travelpro Platinum Elite is the best carry-on suitcase for most travelers.

Although we still prefer the better durability of soft-sided luggage, if you want the look and feel of a hard-sided case, we recommend the Away Carry-On.

After lugging 25 duffles through airports, to beaches, and on weekend trips, we chose nine bags that’ll carry what you need carried in a range of scenarios.

After stuffing, shaking, and dunking 23 toiletry bags, we chose seven that can serve as your bathroom-in-a-bag in a variety of travel scenarios.
