Conventional II Expandable Rugged Rollaboard Luggage, Navy, Checked-Medium 25-Inch

Not a good or solid choice. The wheels (and their mounting brackets) bend out significantly when the luggage is packed (under 50 lbs.) likely due to poor structural support across the lower back portion of the bag. Additionally, the luggage carrying strap (or more specifically the straps snap bracket) broke apart during my third trip with the bag. This bag is good for light use only.

These suitcases are excellent. They survived a national tour of a Broadway musical (100 cities in 9 months) and barely have a scratch on them. Which is unheard of in this industry. To put in perspective, I usually have to replace luggage mid-tour, but these survived the whole thing, and the schedule was brutal. They’re great.

Perfect size. Very spacious and sturdy!!

Fabulous bag!

as advertised

Ive taken this bag on several trips since I bought it. I was able to pack for four days and still put the bag in the overhead bin. Its a lot roomier than I thought. I was worried that it might not hold up, but it still looks like new, and Ive put more stress on the zippers than I probably should have. This roller is a great value, and no one has given it a second look when Im boarding flights. By the way, Ive flown on American, Spirit and Southwest with this bag. I can fit my quart bag of toiletries in the top front pocket, and a few things in the bottom pocket and it still fits in the overhead bin. My criteria was to find the largest bag that the airlines would allow me to carry on. This bag fits the bill! I wanted a roller for the extra space, and I can see the difference when its next to other bags. This roller exceeded my expectations!

After the first trip, one of the zippers broke and the wheels looked like they where going to come off even when it wasnt even half full. So Ill be looking for a new one since I wont be using it again.

Good quality for the money

I am replacing a similar piece of luggage with this. This design allows me to strap on my ski boots, stack my carry on by looping the handles over the telescoping baggage handle, loop my ski helmet on the handle and then wheel the whole collection easily. The new spinners do not allow that and their wheels will get torn off by baggage handlers, not to mention spinners have to have less interior space (their extended wheels are included in the total baggage size allowed by airlines). This bag did some improvements over my last luggage from another company. They added a zipper in the liner so you can put dirty laundry in a separate compartment. They reconfigured the zipper opening to reduce stress on the zipper, then they also increased the size of the zipper to make it stronger. they added a snap clip so you can remove the strap in case you arent going to have a carry on luggage to strap on. They added a sheet of hard plastic to the back so when you lay open the baggage it will better support the bag contents and avoid having the bag slump down where it isnt supported. it uses the same tough ballistic nylon for the basic material. I hope that the baggage will perform as well as it was designed. The only improvement they could have done is adding 1-2 inches to the height- I think the bag is slightly smaller than the current airline guidelines allow.

Advertised as a 26 suitcase with interior dimensions of 25in. H x 16in. W x (9.5in. + 2in.)D. It is really 24, not 25 interior. Would have preferred 25 interior as advertised.
