Wheeled backpack with excellent reviews. Deuter is one of the leading backpack brands worldwide. Founded in 1898 in Germany.
Was looking to buy this backpack from another store today for $314.90 and saw Anancoda had it at a much better price. Amazon.com have it at USD289
If 80L is to large they also have the 60L for $230.99 (plus $9.99 delivery).
They also seem to have other luggage (Denali, BlackWolf) at fairly good discounts.

Yep, the downside is that it's 3.5kg and you wouldn't want to wear it as a backpack for any serious distance, I have had a Macpac Orient Express for 15years and in a lot of circumstances (London to Sydney overland/sea), this would have been a great middle ground and saved my back for short distances (i.e. train to taxi etc).
If you don't want a wheeled backpack the latest version of my trusty Macpac Orient Express (65L) is on sale at Macpac.com.au for $239.99 down from $399. Must be backpack sale time…..

I like that pack. 65 is a good size. But 50+15.
Always wondered, it must be 15-30kg when travelling. Is it padded enough to wear it as a backpack? Also, 80l suitcase must look bizarre on your back.
