[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a super fit twenty something who is comfortable schlepping 40+ pounds?

I think a hiking backpack would be difficult for most folks.

Take a roller bag and a normal backpack. If you need to ever carry your roller at by hand, at least it will be manageable weight-wise (since you’ve split the weight into 2 bags). [/quote]

Agree with this approach. Both my roller bag and my backpack are 25L - together its 50 L - plenty of space for a week+ trip but all carryon size and weight. My roller bag won't get so heavy that I can't lift it up stairs, into overheads and it's great for going long distance when I have to walk from train stations to hotels. My backpack is an osprey and again it's not going to get over weight so I can easily carry it without problems. For our family this method has worked best - rather than one bag with all the weight. Sure you have to pack light but once you get a system in place it's pretty easy to bring what you need, wash it while traveling and buy what you forgot. I also leave space in my backpack for a few items I might want to bring home. [/quote]
