    It's one of these:

    Red Oxx Air Boss Carry On Bag Designed for 1 Bag Business Travelers.

    Which are very durable.

    Also, it will protect your stuff as your clothes go in the outside pockets and your laptop etc in the middle.
    Sorry not for me, I really don't want 'carry' my Carry On Bag

    2 panniers, a topbox and a tankbag on my bike.

    I get a couple of pairs of smalls, socks, jeans, couple of t's and trainers in the tank bag, she takes the rest!!!!

    Suppose it was lucky we were only away for the weekend.

I also take a chain and padlock with me an chain it to a seat at the airport. It will fit in the overhead locker.

    I have airline approved nail clippers. It is not the cutter that is banned; it is the pointed end of the nail file that comes with the clippers. Airline approved ones have square ends.

    Have to say his bag is a decent size for carry on. Better than some of the suitcases that you see jammed into the over head bins.

    Is this meant to be deep, meaningful and profound like One Hand Clapping?

    One bag!

    The problem is that these days your toiletries n' stuff can't be carry-on. There will be a point where there has to be a split of what goes with you as carry-on i.e. documentation, lappy, iWhatever, stuff; and what gets checked-in.

    I suppose it could be done if you were driving, bus, or train.
