Travelers who like to stay nimble are likely to opt for a backpack on their latest adventure. But that isn't necessarily the easiest way to stay organized — or keep from having to check a bag.
The Mission Rover by Mystery Ranch ($185) combines the best attributes of both a suitcase and a backpack, providing a 43-liter piece of luggage that also works as a carry-on. The pack features a zippered clamshell design that allows you to open it like a book and access zippered dividers on each side to organize your clothes.
You'll find a footwear compartment, a dirty laundry pocket and even a padded sleeve that gives you easy access to your laptop while going through security. It's designed to be carried as a suitcase, with an over-the-shoulder strap, or as a backpack — whichever works best for you.
