Has anyone found a rolling carryon that weighs less than
7 or 8 pounds? My husband uses the RS rolling carry-on but I would like something even lighter that rolls on but would not want a backpack combination.
Discovered the onebag.com site and for last trip and enjoyed not checking a bag!
Thanks for any suggestions -

New version of the Patagonia MLC is now under 7 lbs.
I have an older version of the non-wheeled MLC and it's been with me on dozens and dozens of trips. Strong, good looking and versatile. Patagonia products are pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

See these (related) threads about light weight bags - wheeled and not:

Some of the bags mentioned are not available in the USA though.

I was going to suggest the discussion on Flyer Talk but Frank beat me to it. If you're looking for a lighter bag, you'll enjoy that thread.

I just got the International Traveler Sub-0-G 21.5 inch roller that's 4.8 pounds. Haven't actually traveled with it yet but it seems very well made and is indeed incredibly light.

I'm getting ready to leave with a 19" Landor Hawa Sub zero g that only weighs 4# 6oz. The next size up weighs 4# 8oz. Both have wheels. One thing I love about this bag aside from the light weight, is that the inside space isn't compromised by the handle & wheels, so you have the entire space to pack in. I also have a 19" TravelPro in which I can pack much less because of the space used by the pull up handle & the wheels.

I just checked the internet & the international traveler is the one made by Landor Hawa, so we're talking about the same bag. I think you'll love it. You can carry it with just a pinkie.

Rose, Yes the International Traveller Sub Zero bag I bought from internet site is made by Landor Hawa. Do not have the bag yet, but think it will be just what I need. Your advice is much appreciated!

Camille, I Googled: landor hawa sub zero g
Three or more listings. I called 800# of two who said that International Traveller no longer makes the 19" carry on - but both had the 21" carry on - # 1188-21. Weight 4lb 8oz www.villageluggageandgifts.com had 21" size on sale as did 2 other sites. Check on Gadling.com for good description and photos. Have not rec'd yet -
Hope this helps you -
