The alpinist's saying – speed is of the essence – never rings truer than in teeming airport terminals. Roll up the ramp, past the crowd at the baggage carousel and out the door with this slightly more structured, wheeled version of our utilitarian MLC (Maximum Legal Carry-on). The MLC Wheelie has a super robust wheel package and a retractable U-shaped handle for better steering, control, ergonomics and durability. The main compartment holds three to five days' worth of clothes and has three zippered pockets for toiletries and electronics. Another pocket holds a 15-inch or smaller laptop. Exterior zippered pockets provide easy access to travel docs and vital gear – there's even a fleece-lined pocket for sunglasses. When the going gets bumpy, you can shoulder the load with backpack straps that hide away when not in use. Built with a 1,200-denier recycled polyester exterior and a 200-denier polyester lining; both have a polyurethane coating and DWR (durable water repellent) finish.
