[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. In theory a backpack with rollers sounds great, but after using one for quite a bit of international travel, I have to say it's not that practical. I ended up using it only as a roller case. Compared to regular backpacks, they're not that comfortable to carry; the bottom gets really dirty after you've used it as a roller bag for a while; when you're pulling it, you have to secure the straps away from the rollers.

It's my experience in general that items designed for hybrid functionality do not do as good a job as items specializing in one function. [/quote]

The idea is you only wear as a backpack when needed; otherwise roll it. Eg Paris metro, Sahara desert. 
I have a Briggs and Riley. The straps are zipped into a compartment so you don’t see the straps at all. The wheels can be covered by fabric when wearing as a backpack. I’ll agree some thought has to be put into the design. I would never want to haul a backpack only the whole time. But it helps to have that functionality when needed.  [/quote]
