Need Help From The Brain Trust

[126coupe]

Luggage is heavy and black, need some large crazy colored baggage so I don't have to pick up every black piece of luggage that travels down the coverer belt. Lightweight would be nice, hard sided and four tires.

Thanks in advance

Tie a "Hello Kitty" bandana to the handle and nobody will touch it. You'll know right away which one is yours.

Wrap some bright colored duct tape around it!

I put a piece of grey duct tape (diagonally) on all surfaces of checked bags. No problem seeing them from a distance. And even if they get pulled off, they leave a nice distinctive marker.

I actually used some white duct tape to patch up some cracks on a black bag of ours. I have others but I like the ratty look. Nobody bothers the bag, and I can spot it on the line quickly!

That's why Pelican sends you so many stickers. Decorate the tool box and the luggage

I tie orange surveyor's tape to the handles of mine; easy to spot from across the baggage carousel.

Rimowa makes some plastic luggage that comes in colors...

Pretty much, just put a visible unique identifier on your luggage.

My wife likes to use pink ribbons, I make her fetch those.

Better hurry..only on sale for a very short time. Plus if you sign up, you get 20% off on your first order. So $220 shipped. Not a bad deal..

My GF bought a Samsonite suitcase at the Op' shop for $5 and NO ONE would try to steal it. It's lime green. I couldn't believe she bought it until I saw it on the baggage carousel.

Exactly! My dad uses yellow duct tape.

That's a great idea! Everybody should do that!

Not too much of a brain trust. Only one of you understood the question. I need to buy some lightweight luggage.

[Cajundaddy]

I never travel with large bags any more so not much help. Even my wife has learned to do extended travel with 30lbs or less.

Maybe the real question is: I need a quality 4 wheel hard sided bag that can hold 50lbs. I will decorate for uniqueness later."

My luggage is not heavy at all, the crap that gets stuffed into it is.
Stuff less crap into the luggage or buy lighter crap, problem solved.

As far as ID-ing which luggage full of crap is yours, I tied a bright lime green ribbon tied to the handle, stands out like nobody's buisiness.

The older big bags are heavy, the newer technology isn't. When you travel for long periods 2-3 weeks, colder climate you have to have some heavy ****.

^This. I just put a strip of colored tape around the handles. Works just fine.

With one of these stickers, your bag will be delivered to you!
