Ricardo of Beverly Hills: My New Favorite Rolling Carry-On

Move over Tumi, I have a new favorite rolling carry-on bag, the Elite Roxbury 2.0 21-inch Expandable Spinner Wheelaboard from Ricardo of Beverly Hills. Everything about it just works. Perfectly.

PACKING

Packing is super easy with two compartments, one of which zips up entirely, so you can keep your clothes separate from your shoes. The zippers don’t get stuck, the mini-pouches and straps all make sense, and every bit of interior space is usable. Speaking of zippers, it’s expandable, and still remains airline carry-on compliant.

ROLLING

Honestly, I have never breezed through an airport so gracefully. This lightweight bag has four gliding wheels and a sturdy, telescoping handle. The dual spinner wheel system allows for 360° mobility, so walking with it feels more like holding hands with a bag that truly loves you… rather than lugging a bag that doesn’t love you back.

TOTING

With a built in TSA compliant combination lock, and a retractable Add-a-Bag strap, security is a breeze, especially if you’ve made use of the included one-quart zip bag for the 3-ounce liquids.

WHAT ELSE?

So, I confess this is NOT my first love affair with a rolling carry-on from Ricardo of Beverly Hills. A few years ago, I found myself transiting terminals with a sore back and shoulders from the backpack I was wearing for my camera gear and laptop.  I headed to the nearest shop in the terminal and found a perfectly suited RBH 17 inch rolling case, that I could easily fit my cameras, lenses, and entire padded backpack in! Add to that room for plugs, batteries, chargers, and both an interior and exterior padded sleeve for laptops and/or tablets, and my traveling office/darkroom was born.

With all my heavier gear transferred now to a rolling case, I no longer had to take up an extra seat in the lounge with my camera pack, and my posture returned to a healthier balance.  Plus, I can discreetly roll around my camera gear without advertising to the world what’s in my bag. Oops, I guess I just did.
