I got a Tumi backpack which is light and totally squishable. I also got two Tumi normal carryon rollabouts in 20 and 22 inch. All three suitcases came to under $300. We have a Tumi discount store. I am giving Doug my duffle to weigh this week. I can lift it fairly easily, so it probably isn't at the 44 lb. limit. Just to check...the 44 lb does not include the backpack?
