The new super light hardshell antlers look interesting but not practical, Samsonite now has superlight bag series too but 4 wheels. I will probably end up with Antler in the end though. Oh and an expandable zip and front pocket are also desirable.
I have never been sold on 4 wheels. The human body is not designed to handle 4 wheels well and I laugh at people pushing their bags around the city or airport on 4 wheels and having a myriad of issues.
I have the four wheeled Samsonite carry on and I must say it can be a bit hard getting it in the overhead on the UD of a 747 but generally ok.
* Victorinox WT-20 - built-in suiter, clever design, very well-made
* LV Keepall 55 – recommended for leisure travel
* Antler - perfect size for the smaller overhead bins on short-haul flights
* Tumi - not as cheap as others, but recommended

I do have a friend who only uses plastic garbage bags for carry on carry on so he gets 7kg of "stuff" inside. Hope it does not come to this for all of us!
