Just what I was looking for – a large, one-compartment bag under 62 linear inches. Perfect for flying with bulky camping gear. Plus lots of small pockets for the easy-to-lose stuff.

QUALITY: Can’t vouch for how it will hold up over the years yet, but the quality (material, zippers, wheels, etc.) is similar to the bag I’m replacing, which held up for several flights over 10+ years. I’m sure the 0+ bags are more heavy-duty, but this one seems great for the money. I expect it to last as long as the old one.

SIZE: There is some discrepancy with the specs on the web. Mine measures 28.5″x14.1″x14.8″ on the outside, including the wheels, but not the straps & pockets (I posted a customer images with rulers). That’s 57.4 linear inches. Size is important because I want the biggest bag I can get without exceeding the airline’s 62″ checked bag limit. And since duffels tend to puff out when packed (especially when stuffing the pockets), I feel this bag is the perfect size. Also note: Be careful about the weight too. Large bags like this are easy to exceed the 50 lb airline weight limit, so be careful when packing heavy items. (Note: Weight of empty bag about 6.5 lbs.).

WARRANTY: There is some discrepancy about the warranty too. Amazon doesn’t mention it. eBags.com says 10 years. The tag on my bag says 2 years, immediately followed by “Luggage America, Inc. warrants this product from defects in materials and/or workmanship for 5 years”. I posted an image of the tag. Good luck figuring that out. Hope I don’t need to.

SUMMARY: Very nice bag for the price. Seems well made, but time will tell. I will post updates if I have any problems. I’m sure more expensive bags are better, but I’m giving it 5 stars for value, size, and features.

Hope it helps. See my customer images (Note: customer images seem to be difficult to get to for this product. Click on “See all customer images” underneath the pictures). Appreciate the feedback.

I get a little bored reading review after review of people bitching about bags that get destroyed during international travel. If you buy a bag, you are getting a bag. Let’s be realistic!

That being said, we bought two of these and took them to Europe. 5 flights total and although they are a bit dirty–they are pink, so we expected this and Scotch guarded them, they are in pretty great shape for the abuse I knew they went through. One of the handles malfunctioned after the first flight, but then started working again. These bags are SUPER HUGE, you could fit a body in them–really. Probably best for local travel, but we are pleased!

This bag seemed too good to be true. Actually a few people have reported the bag cracking after just a few trips and that is exactely what happened to me. I didn’t want to invest into an expensive piece of luggage and this bag seemed to fit the bill so I thought it would be good enough for me, but it cracked (at the sewing on the upper part) while it actually was stationary for a few weeks during one of my travels.
And this was only after a little over 2 months of owning the bag and traveling with it:
– 1 week of car travel
– 1 month of travel where I took the plane 4 times and the bag stayed more or less stationary except for these flights
– 1 month+ of travel where I took the plane once, the bus once and the rest of the time the bag stayed stationary for the whole time.

I thought (hoped) it would last a little longer than that but now I pretty much have to find a new one after not even 3 months of (gentle and careful) use.

The other problem I encountered is that it is slightly smaller in dimensions that what was advertised (limits of airlines checking bags). Another sad discovery for me, who wanted to pack as much as I could

After I wrote all this y bag cracked open completely on one side (see the video), which means it’s now unusable and I need to buy a new one, after just 3 months of use (most of which where the bag was stationary).

NOT RECOMMENDED!
