Victorinox makes excellent, durable, and highly functional bags. Would highly recommend both the
WebMaster (non-wheeled) and the
WebMobilizer Plus (retractable wheeled). Have owned both at one time or another (use WebMaster now), and the quality and overall functionality of both bags are extremely high.
Also considered
Booq,
Crumpler, and
Tom Bihn as well. Have not yet personally experienced these bags in particular (aside from Victorinox, as mentioned), but found them all quite interesting. You may want to read through
this thread, where several users made suggestions, and reported their experiences with different bag manufacturers.
Word of caution: would recommend opting for nylon over leather if one makes regular use (two to three times per week, at least) of their bag. Have never fond leather to hold up well under heavy usage.
Good luck.
