Airline luggage restrictions have forced us to lighten our loads, but with Eagle Creek's spacious Hovercraft 28, one of the lightest suitcases on the market for its size, you can still bring everything you need. This super-durable, wheeled suitcase offers 6,750 cubic inches of space yet weighs only 10 pounds. Eagle Creek's Pack-It Cubes, available separately in all sorts of shapes and sizes, allow you to compartmentalize clothes and toiletries so they're easy to find, while the airtight Compression Sacs help you condense bulky items like sweaters and gain up to 80 percent more packing space. The Hovercraft 28 ($250), Pack-It Cubes ($8-$20), and Compression Sacs ($8-$12) are available at eaglecreek.com and REI (800-426-4840, rei.com).
