Regular, old-fashioned suitcases are cumbersome and inconvenient for adventure travel. Worst of all, they’re either too hard to move around or, if they have wheels, the wheels often break. If you’re taking the trip of a lifetime, you want a backpack suitcase that combines the portability of a backpack with the accessibility of a suitcase. A suitcase backpack is more than just a suitcase with backpack straps. Its clamshell opening allows you full access to all of your stuff at once. Traditional backpacks open from the top, allowing very limited access. Instead use a panel-loading backpack.
