Victorinox, $200

What is this bag's most obvious asset? The bubble-gum hue, of course, which helps it stand out amid the sea of black wheelies on the baggage carousel. Far less conspicuous (but just as helpful) are the two zippered mesh pockets inside the bag for stashing small items, like underwear and bathing suits. The smart, ergonomic handle resembles a gear shift and rotates 360 degrees, which makes it easy to weave the suitcase through human traffic.

Size: 22 by 13 by 10 1/2 inches.
