High Sierra 36-Inch Drop-Bottom Wheeled Duffel (Black)
Product Description
Bottom has protective feet to keep the bag off the ground. Adjustable exterior compression straps.This is the best wheeled duffel on the market. I travel on ski trips year round, and I am able to store all of my gear (except for my skis) in this duffel. The duffel is quite large, so you have to be carful about exceeding the 50 lb. airline weight limit for normal-sized bags. However, this is the most durable duffel I have found. All of the other duffels I have purchased (including another High Sierra duffel that had cheaper zippers) have suffered from ripped seams or failed zippers after about a year of use.
I purchased this bag for a 14 day family cruise. It held an amazing amount of stuff. Lots of nooks and crannies to cram in last minute items. Was easy to maneuver and handle even when it was overpacked and super heavy. Based on the prior reviews, I knew there was a risk that it would get zinged with an oversize baggage charge based on its dimensions and I was prepared to pony up. But I was pleasantly surprised that I never got charged even though I had to check it at three seperate airports (always US Air). It doesn't look as big as it is. I am extremely pleased with this purchase.
This is a great bag! It can hold a piece of the world! It rolled well and was very stylish; a little pricey, but it seemed like it would be with u for the long haul. Purchased it for a college student approx. 600 miles from home and who will do a lot of travel over the years. The drop bottom was an added bonus, nice for suits or shirt or shoes...
I'm on my third one of these bags. There's really nothing else I've seen that's this good, and I look. Having said that, the size, shape and design means that you are putting a lot of strain of the bag, which means that it wears out.
I fly about 100,000 miles a year, and also take my luggage on 20-30 car trips. Basically I travel 40-45 weeks. These bags last me about 2 years. That's 2 years on heavy travel with a fully-packed bag. I've never had a problem with a zipper, handle, or wheel with any of the three I've owned. I have had them rip and tear, and also just kind of wear through at the edges. But considering the usage I give them, that's not unexpected. The straps and buckles on the sides always get broken by the airlines - they are in a place that snags easily.
The design is great. The bottom zips open and you have a large flat area when you can lay your pants and folded shirts flat. There are 2 straps here to keep them from sliding around. Then once you zip the top back on, you have a large center area and 2 end pockets with flexible dividers (you can just use all the space for the center compartment if you like.
The bag is huge. You could easily put 7-10 pairs of jeans, 7-10 shirts, some toiletries, sweatshirts, jackets, socks, etc in here with room to spare. The problem is that when packed, it is over the size limit of almost every airline. As an elite on NWA I get away with it, but a regular flyer would be paying both an oversize and overweight charge if he filled this case.
So I'm guessing that bags this size will be phased out eventually. But if you have a need for a bag this big, this is a good one, and very inexpensive for something this size and quality.
This duffel bag was used on two different motorcycle trips to ship gear to the riding destination. It easily held two motorcycle jackets, two pairs of pants, a helmet, several pairs of shoes and boots, and still had room for other things. The zippered bottom compartment was good for the boots and shoes to keep them away from the clothes. The wheels made it very easy to get through the airport with this very heavily packed bag.
