I am not a camper, a hiker, or anything remotely close - I prefer hotels with all the amenities when I travel - but I also try to pack smartly and prefer the convenience of carry-on luggage. The Switchback Modular 22 Carry-On and I just returned from a 6 day stay in Rome. I packed clothes for 8 days (just in case) and even had enough room for extra shoes (I never did wear that last pair I threw in!) Everything from long slacks to capris and skirts plus a multitude of shirts and enough lingere to ensure that I would never run out and have to "rinse out the delicates" - after all - this was a vacation. The small, detachable backback was perfect inflight for reading material, munchies, plus held all my toiletries. I can't imagine ever needing another piece of luggage - this dynamic duo was well worth the price.
