YETI Crossroads® Wheeled Luggage: The Best Rolling Suitcase for Adventure Fishing Travel
Designed for Adventure Travel
Frequent travel has taught me the value of well-built, intelligently designed luggage. On a recent trip, I learned the YETI Crossroads® 29” Wheeled Luggage embodies these qualities, offering durability, functionality, and style.
External Features for Easy Access
This luggage prioritizes convenience and organization. A vertical zippered stash pocket is perfect for quick-access items like maps, magazines, or a tablet. The top-edge zippered pocket is ideal for storing chargers, cables, or your wallet, with a built-in key tether for added security—no more frantic airport searches for car keys.
Additionally, grab handles on all sides make lifting and maneuvering the bag effortless, whether pulling it off the baggage carousel or sliding it into your car's trunk.
Internal Organization Made Easy
The Crossroads® zips open in a 70/30 split for efficient packing.
- Deeper Compartment: Secured by a zippered mesh divider, this space fits bulkier items like shoes, rain gear, and several changes of clothes. Two large mesh pockets on the divider offer additional storage for smaller essentials like socks or t-shirts.
- Shallower Compartment: Divided into two zippered pockets, it’s perfect for organizing toiletries, camera gear, or tackle boxes. The included small and medium Crossroads® Packing Cubes make packing even more efficient, keeping your items neat and accessible.
Built to Withstand Tough Conditions
Durability is where this luggage shines. Constructed with a molded polycarbonate base and 700 Denier TuffSkin™ Nylon, it’s built to handle rugged adventures while resisting water and abrasion. For context, the 700 Denier rating means this fabric is significantly tougher than the average nylon jacket.
Other standout features include a sturdy, flex-free extending handle and heavy-duty zippers. The oversized wheels glide smoothly over curbs and uneven terrain, and their replaceable design ensures long-term reliability—a rarity among suitcases.
