Well see, there’s your problem, you prefer terrible suitcases.

Suitcases suck in general.

Nah, for travel you need bag structure to put things in their place and have them all stay there. Especially important for clothes to avoid wrinkles.

what’s your reference?

I need a softer bag because it’s more or less collapsible. Because I’m bringing stuff for events I am often am not coming and going with the same amount of stuff.

something like an away suitcase - sucks when it’s half empty.

I mean if it has a hard back I’m not sure why collapsible helps? Pushing an empty full suitcase isn’t all that hard if it has four wheels…

But, yea, a proper four wheel suitcase (I’m partial to TravelPro over Away but whatever) is the way to go for actual travel use-cases - sturdy, not annoying cause the sides are always collapsing when you’re trying to put stuff in, hard sides also give structure for where to place items as you add them, etc. But for events…I dunno, if you really want something collapsible, I dunno what’s good, not a lot of competition for such things because they suck for travel.

Been using an Osprey Porter backpack for years. Fits under an airplane seat so theres no risk of forced checking.

looks pretty great - but the amount of stuff i come and go with it all over the place -

i used to have a duffle bag with rollers AND back pack straps and it was great.
