Large Light Bag to Replace Suitcase

masterK

Anybody seen a decent sized and light bag around Dublin that can be used instead of a suitcase for traveling. My suitcases weigh 7Kg so with a 15Kg limit you don't have much to spare. The bag shops are charging around 50 euro.

Try Argos.

This is <€14 and only weighs 1.7kg.

You could try picking up a sail bag for sailing or windsurfing, I have one that's epically light and weighs absolutely nothing, well under a kilo. It's foldable and absolutely enormous!!! It doesn't have wheels though.

And it will deffo be coming with me to the states in a few weeks!!!

This one was promoted in travel column of recent newspapers. It is foldaway, weighs less than 1 kg, and at 55*40*25 it meets the limits set by Ryanair and EasyJet. It folds up into it's own pouch.Approx £23 (including p and P to Ireland)

Some good ideas there, thanks. Can't believe I never thought of Argos.

I wouldnt take the chance on bags from Argos because more then likely the quality will be sh1te. I wouldnt take the risk of arriving at a destination to find my bag didnt survive the local baggage handler's abuse!

I would try Debenhams or similar and pay for decent quality.
