I remember vividly when I moved to Germany, right at the Airport One of my 3 Suitcases, the biggest One, just broke right above the Zipper5 Minutes later the Handle came off . . . And I was stuck carrying a 100-pound Bag and 2 Others for about 250 Kilometers .I can NOT stress how important good Luggage is.
I have the Mia Toro hard luggage. It's designed almost like genius pack without the interior pockets and packing list. I took it to Saint Lucia and it worked like a champ. It connects to the other bag and I can move the bags like a train.
I pretty much only travel with carry one items. For a short trip I have an aer travel bag that I use. I also have a small carry on bag from it luggage that I use when I travel for work and also have a Hershel duffle for when I need something in between. I think it's also important to find a bag that fits your packing style. I like using packing cubes so I generally like habit a lot of open space. If you like having a specific place for everything then a more compartmentalized bag with good internal storage options.
I've heard & read in recent years that hard cases & luggage are better than leather or nylon material. It helps reduce bed bugs, lice, bugs, etc. Also, airline & FAA employees often use hard side cases. I'd agree to buy quality & spend a bit extra for something that lasts years. I want a GI type military duffle bag. I bought a cheap black milspec bag that fell apart after 2 years.
I recently bought luggages as I am travelling to study in Hungary. I was so confused whether to go for the hard cover or the cloth material and I decided to go with the cloth material because it had more internal capacity than the hard cover. But the designs on the hard cover looked way more cooler
Do they weigh the carry on? I just traveled to the US from Canada and they didn't weigh it. So as long as it's the right measurement I don't have to worry about the weight???
I always check usually even for a 2 to 3 day trip. Mostly because I have to have a bag I can use on the other side rather than cart the roller with me. My company will pay for the checked bag. Another reason is I'm a big guy so my clothes take up more room. I have a week trip to Florida coming up too and I have to have comfortable casual clothes for after hours. So I will likely will take the bigger bag(although I may not since I probably will just want to eat and then head back to the hotel after work. I think the best thing here is learn how to take only what you need and be prepared with knowledge in case you need to make do on the other end. :-)
Another tip for international travelers is to be aware of regional airline regulations. For example in Asia, regional carriers do not focus on size very much for carry on luggage. They focus on weight. The general standard is 7kg. At least for me, my carry on luggage when flying weighs more than that, so I have to pack accordingly. Lastly, the hard cased luggage is also more secure. Any zippered luggage can easily be defeated and restored without even touching the lock. One would not notice any irregularity or theft until you reached your destination and unpacked. By that time, any report of theft would have lost credibility. Thanks for sharing Antonio.
I'm curious, what part of New Mexico? Albuquerque is considered by many to be hot air balloon capital of the world, mostly because they host the international hot air balloon festival in October. You can take hot air balloon ride anytime the year. My wife and I went on one for 5th anniversary and loved it. If you are in Santa Fe, there will be tons of great places to eat as well as lots of museums and art studios. Ten Thousand Waves is a fantastic spa, with its own restaurant. I haven't to been but my wife has and she like it a lot. There are tons of great places to hike all the way out to New Mexico. Depending on the temperature I would recommend White Sands or tent rocks. I live in Albuquerque so I have tons of other recommendations but I will stop there since I'm sure you've done your own research already.
I'm going on a swim camp in october. As a swimmer I need to pack alot of sports items. We are going for a week, but I dont know if i need a medium size suitcase, or if i need a big one. (All the swim items take some space) and i want to shop a little while im there
Great video, much appreciated. I have an issue with what size luggage to buy. I usually go to conventions or travel to do revivals, so I usually need 3 to 4 suits along with a couple casual outfits, what is the best size for that? 22 inch or 30?
I love to travel too!!! Could you do a video review on packing for a 7 day cruise and how you can properly pack your formal and business wear clothing?
I believe he may have a video that is already very similar to that. Check out his playlist. There's a travel playlist with 14 videos. Even if there isn't a video of that specific issue I'm sure all the videos would be useful to some degree.
This is really well made video and it proves you have travelled a lot :). I totally agree on your point of size of luggage - with suits it's not that big problem when it's half empty if you don't have to deal with weight limits or similar but the big half full traveling bags looks from my point of view silly and too bulky... and also everyone can see it's half empty
Good to know Genius Pack is at least consistent. You've been recommending these guys for years... I'd throw a lot of pieces of luggage from TravelPro in for a recommendation as well. I picked up one of their suitcases recently and it has served me very well in my travels and has similar features to the bag you're showing here.
I have found with most luxury companies their name is the only thing giving it the high price. Most of the time their quality is lower despite the higher price compared to brands that specialize in a specific field such as Gucci luggage vs Tumi. Tumi is expensive, but luggage is what they are known for and their quality is good. I would say to stay away from luxury brands when it comes to wanting items that can actually take a beating and you want to last for years without getting torn up
Great thanks Antonio, I'm off to Italy & Switzerland in the next couple of weeks so will take a look at the Genius Pack! Great idea about having the checklist, seems so simple. More brands need to think outside the box. I worked in mens retail and one particular clothing brand (won't mention) had the police 'search and seizure' warrant laws sewn into the lining of their jackets. Great idea, novel, out of the box thinking. Keep these videos coming.
I travel internationally about once a year with the same cheap bags. They've worked so far, but it may be time to upgrade...never know when the cheap ones are going to fail, lol.
So with summer coming, long sleeves are going to be what I'm wearing for the most part shortly. The problem is that I've got freaky long monkey arms, and so I have a really hard time finding shirts that fit me. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a t-shirt or casual button up brand that has longer arms. The struggle has been real... Also, very informative video!
Hi Antonio, I dont like the way i look in a dress shirt, are there any alternatives for semi- formal/ smart/casual wear, perhaps a turtleneck? and would i need a jacket to wear with a turtleneck
sounds fun, you jet setter you.. I could have used this info years ago when i did a world travel, but i did ok, still useful on a smaller scale for me cheers anyway
If you are more concerned about security for your check-in luggage, you should consider hard sided, non-zipper closure cases. Zippers can be defeated very easily in less than 10 seconds using a pen.
Hard luggage all the way! After some things being broken before while in my bags I learned that's the best way to go. You don't know how they treat your luggage at the airports!
I would say buy a strange color. Put some stickers on. If you can sit on it is nice, you wait and wait. And bring your smaler and bigger bag to the store. The bag should fit inside the bigger bag, and the smaler bag should fit inside the new bag. That saves you space at home. Then you fill up the inbetweens with traveling stuff. And you can store your traveling stuff in a small volume.
If you travel to places with cobblestone, you will want a bag with large wheels. Those bags with small wheels will get stuck between the stones and cause some real pain.
Come on man how can you call the Genius pack luggage compression straps. You and I both know that those clips will break right off. I know cuz I bought this because you recommended it a few years ago. I know they are the sponsors but damn just be honest about it man
Mr. Antonio never does that. I am quiet sure he has been using this product for a while and making sure of its quality has he decided to promote it to us. That is the one of the core things that makes RMRS and Alpha M. Channel stand millions of miles away from the rest of the competition. 😃👍🏾.
if he didn't believe in the product he wouldn't even mention it and it's suppliers, then actually he is saving you money and hassle, thats worth a lot isn't it, not everyone is a money hound. sure we all got to live... at the core if its quality he will back it
Vladan Stojanovic If he uses the brand anyways and they are willing to sponsor this kind of video, why not? Its not like he is saying that you need to buy their brand, he is just saying that it is what he is using.
Antonio when you in London let's meet, would like a bit of your incredible advice - and meet the guy responsible for my transformation lol give me dates please
Hey Antonio, I just want to say thank you for a video you made a while back called '20 Random RUclipsrs I LOVE', in the video you recommended some channels that have really helped me out in starting my own channel such as Roberto Blake and Video Creators. I've been watching your channel for a few years now and you have definitely helped me step up my style game and become a better person. Thank you for bringing me and lots of others great content and if you happen to be into mountain biking I would love it if you guys could check out my channel.

I completely agree - the material is definitely one of the most important things to consider.

Fantastic video, I love how you provided a checklist so that we can find our own. You are a very helpful guy Antonio, Thank You.
Glad you find it useful.
I love the tips to help us determine what's best, instead of just telling us what product you think is the best.
Do they weigh the carry on? I just traveled to the US from Canada and they didn't weigh it. So as long as it's the right measurement I don't have to worry about the weight???

Great Tips Antonio, do you recommend the cabin sized bags for suits? or any better way to carry the suits around?
Great video as always Antonio
King Geek - thanks for watching!

Great video.
Any thoughts on Luxury Luggage Brands, such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci, would be much appreciated.
Keep up the good work.

What's happening in London in November? Any meet-up planned?
Hey Anthony, did you do a video on how to clean suede(shoes), if not I'd love one.
Devon - Have you seen this? www.realmenrealstyle.com/everything-about-suede/
You should go to Scotland it's beautiful and full of history and culture!
I would love to!
I travel internationally about once a year with the same cheap bags. They've worked so far, but it may be time to upgrade...never know when the cheap ones are going to fail, lol.
What brand of watch were you wearing?
Great video.Pls have a look at mos backpack.
So with summer coming, long sleeves are going to be what I'm wearing for the most part shortly.

Hi Antonio, I dont like the way i look in a dress shirt, are there any alternatives for semi- formal/ smart/casual wear, perhaps a turtleneck? and would i need a jacket to wear with a turtleneck
what are you going to new mexico for?
sounds fun, you jet setter you.. I could have used this info years ago when i did a world travel, but i did ok, still useful on a smaller scale for me cheers anyway
My body height is 5 feet 2 inch. So what size of bag suits for me? Please suggest me
you have gone through the best points...really loved that❤
Thanks Aman - Which point is your favorite?
If you are more concerned about security for your check-in luggage, you should consider hard sided, non-zipper closure cases. Zippers can be defeated very easily in less than 10 seconds using a pen.
What is that watch you are wearing in this video?
Is it the fifth?
Hard luggage all the way! After some things being broken before while in my bags I learned that's the best way to go. You don't know how they treat your luggage at the airports!
Good point there Beto.
Awesome Stuffs.. Is it available in Gujarat State, India Now...? Which Store...? Sir...
Hitesh - You can check their website in the description box.
i read the book deep work recommended by you sir. There was some strategy in that book that you use for emails😃. Btw thanks
I would say buy a strange color.
Put some stickers on.
If you can sit on it is nice, you wait and wait.
And bring your smaler and bigger bag to the store. The bag should fit inside the bigger bag, and the smaler bag should fit inside the new bag. That saves you space at home. Then you fill up the inbetweens with traveling stuff. And you can store your traveling stuff in a small volume.
how can i get that portfolio of genius pack in nepal?
Antonio, LOVE the shirt! So perfect the collar. Million dollar collar?? 😁
How many nights do y'all stay in hotels a year?
I need a paid sponsor to view some of these videos. What happened to the military heritage content ?
What size luggage is that?
Antonio please pay attention on your under shirt brother, I know it's a small thing but it's really not nice. Lots of love, keep up the great work
Very useful video Antonio be strong
Stop in Dallas and give me a watch. ;)
Great video!
Thanks!
If you travel to places with cobblestone, you will want a bag with large wheels. Those bags with small wheels will get stuck between the stones and cause some real pain.
Absolutely!
I love that portafolio

There is nothing Antonio likes more than pressing his index finger and thumb together.

Hey Antonio, are you coming through San Antonio,Texas, would absolutely love to meet you, I really look up to you, thanks for reading
If it was luggage that you truly supported & stood behind, this video wouldn't have to be sponsored. The fact that it is makes it biased.
Come on man how can you call the Genius pack luggage compression straps. You and I both know that those clips will break right off. I know cuz I bought this because you recommended it a few years ago. I know they are the sponsors but damn just be honest about it man
Well since this hey are the sponsor
Probably you are just saying this for the 💰
And I'm sure before they contacted you you wasn't using this product
If you've been watching my videos for more than a year --- you'd know that I've included this product in my website or my Christmas gift guide :)
Mr. Antonio never does that. I am quiet sure he has been using this product for a while and making sure of its quality has he decided to promote it to us. That is the one of the core things that makes RMRS and Alpha M. Channel stand millions of miles away from the rest of the competition. 😃👍🏾.
if he didn't believe in the product he wouldn't even mention it and it's suppliers, then actually he is saving you money and hassle, thats worth a lot isn't it, not everyone is a money hound. sure we all got to live... at the core if its quality he will back it
Video de excelencia """
He's got the crazy eyes
Travel bag that you can put someone in it.
Stop and see me in lake Charles
great another sponsored video 🙄
sir Hindi me bhi video bnaya kro...
Ofc its a paid sponsor...this is getting silly. Making these sales pitch videos waaaay too often
Vladan Stojanovic If he uses the brand anyways and they are willing to sponsor this kind of video, why not? Its not like he is saying that you need to buy their brand, he is just saying that it is what he is using.
Vladan Stojanovic You dont have to buy the product if you dont want to.
I don't mind it at all.. I see all sorts of different great products and company's.
I love to travel and whit this I travel cheaper :) This is my honest recomendation for all of you adventure lovers- bit.ly/2wiughT
