Thule Crossover Rolling Carry Renewed
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.

You might think it's not a backpack (and it's not) but after traveling for quite a while, I found that the comfort of the backpack is proportional to how much weight you are putting on your shoulders. So I decided that weight should be 0. So far, I have found success sneaking it even in cheap short flights.
Pros:
- No weight on your shoulders. This adds up quite a bit if you are standing up for many hours waiting for your flight, bus, etc...
- You can put more items in there.
- It looks nice and the material quality is good.
Cons:
- It's not good for a day-trip or going out.
To fix the con, I'd suggest you use a small very light bag that you can fit with no space on this backpack. This will force you to think what items you take out with you when you are going out and avoid taking a bunch of items that you'll probably won't need. (ps: this doesn't apply if you want to do hiking and stuff like that).
