• Rolling backpacks can come into contact with ground services that are rough, requiring wheels that roll easily and are located strategically on the bag to promote easier control. Otherwise, the bag will wear quickly, due to bumping into jutting objects or being yanked by you, as you pull it free from snags. These three bookbags address that issue and others, and hold up well: Osprey Meridian, High Sierra Powerglide and JanSport Driver 8.
  
  

Osprey Meridian

• Osprey Meridian rolling backpacks are available in two sizes: 22- or 28-inch. This rolling backpack has a sports suspension system, which makes it comfortable against your back without compromising durability. According to an article on the Osprey Meridian by SpotCoolStuff.com, the Osprey Meridian rolling backpack has been tested on a Nepal 5-day trek and stands up to the challenge.
  
  The Osprey has padded and adjustable shoulder straps and shock-absorbent wheels. The hip strap on the bag helps you distribute the weight from enclosed content more equitably, too. The bag's handle can retract inside the bag if not in use, thus reducing potential wear and tear on it. In addition, a ventilation system prevents back sweat from developing as easily, further preventing bag deterioration. This bag is a top-of-the-line, costing around $300, according to RockyMountainTrail.com.
  
  

High Sierra Sport Company Powerglide

• High Sierra Sport Company's Powerglide has corner guards as well as a kick plate to protect your bag from potential abrasions. Adjustable and padded shoulder straps provide the flexibility and comfort you need when not wheeling the bag around. The corner-mounted wheels aid with maneuvering, and keep you moving forward without unnecessary handle pulling. Bag material of 600-denier strength aids with durability as you travel over outdoor surfaces in various weather conditions. High Sierra's reflective accents on the Powerglide reduce potential night travel problems such as oncoming bike or auto traffic. This pack costs between $55 and $90, according to Amazon.com.
  
  

JanSport Driver 8

• JanSport's Driver 8 is made of 600-denier polyester, has a padded back panel to aid when carrying instead of wheeling and hats a padded, retractable handle, providing a more comfortable grip while pulling. Inline skate wheels mounted on the corners helps you control your movement, preventing collisions with objects as you travel. The bag's "tuck-away" shoulder straps prevent potential destruction, especially when the bag is placed on airport carousels or other places straps can get caught during movement. It ranges in cost from $72 to $120, according to Amazon.com.
