So planning to buy a luggae for medium term travel ( eg 1 month)

Don't really think a backpacker backpack is a good idea..... Too heavy to carry and you seem poor

Bought a bagaggio （ brazilian brand ) luggage in brazil for 400 reais. But am thinking of buying something like medium size, with wheels, light, easy to put stuff

These spinners look pretty cool

I think it's a good idea to invest in a good luggage if you are moving from one place to another, hostel to hostel.

For best bang for the buck I highly recommend ebags.com. For example, this one:

Just $75 and a great bag, free shipping too.

Other great brands are Briggs and Riley, Tom Bihn, and Red Oxx.

I never use rollers. less efficient, heavier, harder to fit into overhead bins, often don't fit in sizers. I never ever check anything in, even international.

Usually I use a vintage Rimowa cabin case (non roller version), Briggs and Riley "235x" (discontinued though) http://bagmaster.net/5073.html or a Filson Medium Travel bag: http://www.filson.com/products/travel-ba...70246.html

for my personal item i use a patagonia backpack or a Filson 257 briefcase depending on what I need to do.

I may get a roller though, Rimowa aluminum or polycarbonate...leaning towards aluminum for the aesthetics. But, if you want a good carry on..maybe the Briggs and Riley expandable international widebody....external telescoping handle to give you more room and its wide for more room.

they are expensive though.....may also get a GORUCK military spec backpack to replace my patagonia as its very sleek looking.

The filson one looks pretty cool.
