There's no shortage of carry-on luggage bags with wheels that are strong, attractive and practical, but many of them are very heavy. Is there anything that is light and durable?
The mechanics of producing a bag with a retractable handle and wheels often results in a heavy metal framework, but for short business or weekend trips try the r.town Narita hand-luggage size trolley bag. It weighs only 2.5 kilos and has wheels and a retractable handle.

If it's so light, is it durable enough to handle the rigours of travel?
It's made out of 100% rip-stop nylon and is tear-proof and waterproof. It has handles on two sides, zip-up compartments and interior mesh pockets.

What is r.town?
It stands for "our" town, a French company specialising in urban travel accessories that are fashionable and practical. That's why many of the travel bags are named after city airports.

How big is the trolley bag?
Height: 54cm, width 34cm, depth 23cm, and 99cm long with the handle extended. Two other bags, the Schiphol £35 and Linate £25 can be attached to the trolley bag. The Narita trolley bag costs £60.
