We have looked long and hard and found that this just doesn't exist, so perhaps someone else has had better luck. In many stores the collapsing part is the issue that confuses people, it needs to be semi rigid to fit into the bag sizing boxes. We never had storage issues on our boats, most boats have "long term" storage under the bunks. But if you store under the bunks use Damp Rid or you will get mildew.
Backpacks are as close as we have gotten.

I'm going to make what will seem an odd suggestion: Desoto Triathlon Transition Pack. I bought my 2014 version for its designed purpose, but have used it a ton for travel as both carry on and checked baggage. It holds a ton of stuff, has a lot of ways to separate and organize stuff and, for some reason, the transition design features seem to translate well to charter traveling. It works great and the quality is top notch. I have no affiliation with Desoto other than I own a bunch of their gear and have interacted with their owner a few times on a multi sport forum I frequent. https://www.desotosport.com/collections/accessories/products/transition-pack-v8-2017

This looks almost too good to be true - has a $30 suitcase held up for 10 years? I'm looking for a new carry on for both the BVI's and Europe travel (planes, trains, etc)

I'm looking for a new carry on for both the BVI's and Europe travel (planes, trains, etc) I've had the same one for the last 10 years + that I got at Marshall's and it's held up -- the key is to not overstuff duffels...mine has finally started to protest <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> and I'm tired of looking at the duct tape so time for a new one!

tradewinds said: We just replaced ours after 5 years with roughly 4-6 BVI trips and 5 others a year. Did you get a better color this time?! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

We use the LL Bean rolling duffles. Medium for carryon, large bag checked for boat parts.

I have the same one (and in that beautiful purple, too!) in three or four different sizes. The carryon still looks brand new. The larger ones that have been checked are a little beat up after 10ish trips, but I haven't replaced them yet. For the price, they're a great deal. And, when I traveled with Chris and Tracy it was pretty funny that we all had matching bags in different colors, totally unplanned Felix

Question for those of you using the Olympia 22" bag mentioned in this thread. I'm ordering 4 of these. Have you ever had issues with airlines refusing to allow it as a carry on? That seems to be a common complaint on Amazon. This bag is over the carry-on allowance by 3" (depth). If I be sure not to over pack, will it work?
