Thanks for the link Graham That's exactly the sort of thing I'm after. I agree with you regarding quality, and based on the number of trips I do, it has to be very hard wearing and practical. I've got lots of hard covered suitcases, but with weight restrictions they are no longer practical, and I want something I can throw on my back if I have to. I'd rather buy a decent bag than save a few quid now only to see my boxer shorts touring around a baggage carousel on their own

This one from Berghaus looks quite good, they also do this model with wheels
