Robust luggage for International travel
Update 10DEC2019: After four years of heavy international travel, the luggage is intact with no surface punctures, broken zippers, or damaged interior... Highest recommendation.
Purchased for international travel - a hard sided bag was the key driver for purchase
The unit opens flat for packing - one side of the unit has a cover that can be zipped closed; the other has an adjustable strap that will secure the contents - A small pouch along the seam can be zipped shut and will hold small items.
Initial Concerns at the time of purchase were:
- the overall size of the unit and ability to pack enough clothes
- Performance of the zipper
- Durability of the wheels over time
After a year of use and approximately 12 international flights and a handful of trips on North America:
- Exterior of the unit is performing well - only evidence of use is a half dozen scrapes and scratches
- All handles are intact and functioning as expected
- NSA lock performs well
- Wheels function smoothly - the wheels and the mounts holding them to the luggage are robust
- Zipper for the unit has performed without issue
From a size standpoint, the unit is perfect for a 7-10 day trip which includes 2 pair of shoes, bath kit, 2 suit coats and three pair of slacks along with the assortment of casual clothes and undergarments
