Need Help From The Brain Trust
 

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.;)

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!
