According to Tara Donaldson for CNN, choosing the right bags, and properly packing is an art form that takes practice. “Get it right and your vacation will be a joy of lightened luggage containing just the right outfits. Get it wrong and it’ll be a misery of excess baggage charges, strained back muscles and cursing at the bewildering logic that led you to pack 17 pairs of shoes for a barefoot beach trip,” she argues. But how do you know which suitcase will best suit your needs?

Well, first of all, consider if you prefer to take the carry-on route, or if you insist on checking your bags. Do you pack light or bring everything you own? Do you prefer the durability of sturdy, hard-shelled bags or the flexibility of soft-sided bags? You need to consider your needs, and then you can investigate the new and improved options for baggage, and in case you weren’t aware, travel bags have come a long way in recent years.

Here are 8 cool travel bag brands and pieces to try as you embark on your summer trips. Happy packing and happy vacation!
