Good rolling backpacks?


Hi all! What are some good rolling backpacks that you can recommend that are spacious enough, durable, don't fall over due to all the books possibly, etc??? And where'd you buy yours at? Thanks for any help.

I just invested in a good quality one - Janpack. They make great back packs and the one I bought has wheels. I've tried the $20 ones from Walmart and was not happy with them. Janpack bags have a lifetime warrenty and are heavy duty. They cost more, but also have a longer life and are better built. Sam Moon has some to choose from. Janpack as well as off brand bags. You might try them.

I have seen most of these in person through various people I have met and by far the most spacious ones I have seen are made by CalPack. The guy I saw had numerous 5" binders in that baby plus his books and still had room
They are kind of pricy but are also sturdy and well worth the investment.

I really like the one I purchased from Best Buy to start nursing school in the Fall... It is by Wenger and is called the patriot
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1093468590969

It is such a big bag and the handle is great for me being almost 5'9. comes with a laptop removable bag that can also be added to the top of the bag over the handle so you can add more books for class. There are three big compartments there. It moves well and doesn't have to be just pulled along behind you. You can have it right next to your legs as you walk.

I would not purchase a bag unless you are able to test it out. It will save a lot of time and heartache trying to find another bag that you thought you didn't need in the first place if you hit it off the first time.


This bags a bit pricey but I think it is a very great bag for the money.

Those were my top picks...I ended up going with the eBags Router Wheeled Laptop convertible because of its price and lifetime warranty.
