Carryon Luggage recommendations?

[netmouse]

I will be traveling in March and need to buy a new carry-on bag. My old one was too worn out, so I got rid of it. I've done a little shopping, but so far haven't seen what I want - something relatively small, that can fit a laptop and a few days' clothes, maybe with a pocket large enough to accept some folders and/or a book on the front.

My old bag was too long to fit front-to-back in some airlines' overhead compartments, so I want one shorter than that. I value a sturdy, easy-to-use collapsable long handle to drag it around by, and I want the wheelbase to be sturdy as well. It should also be well ballanced on the wheel base - my previous bag had a tendency to fall over forward when standing, which got annoying quickly.

Color doesn't really matter, though something other than black might be refreshing - otherwise I'll decorate it.

Briggs & Riley

I really like the Briggs & Riley ultralight bags. I can travel in one indefinitely. It's expensive, but given how much travel I do it's well worth it.

I know they make a whole line of carry-on wheeled bags. Find a local distributer so you can look at them.

Looks like they're carried by Travel 2000 here in Ann Arbor at the Briarwood Mall. I'll go take a look - thanks!
