[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] It's unlikely a carry -on sized backpack would get up to 40 pounds. Mine weighs about 4 pounds, and when fully packed (including computer) it's around 25 pounds, probably 22-23 if I don't bring my computer. Yes it is pretty heavy and I wouldn't walk 2 miles with it, but it's manageable for most, I would think, over the say half mile distances you would normally be taking it. You can pack a fold up backpack inside it to use when out and about (not in transit) at your destination. To each their own, but I find it so freeing having both hands free and not dragging something over stairs and uneven pavement.[/quote]
