The Guardian Tests Best Carry-On Luggage on an Assault Course
The Guardian has published a comprehensive review of the best carry-on luggage available in the UK, featuring unique stress testing where seven cabin bags were dragged over an assault course and through mud. The article highlights that while avoiding air travel is ideal for reducing carbon emissions, using cabin bags is a practical alternative to reduce fuel consumption and airline fees when flying is necessary. The testing process involved evaluating durability, maneuverability, and packability across various styles including hard-shell, soft-shell, and duffels. Key recommendations include the July Carry On luggage as the overall best choice, the Tripp Holiday 8 for budget-conscious travelers, and specific picks for luxury and expandable needs. The test was conducted at West Leeds Activity Centre, with remaining bags donated to support young people in challenging circumstances.
