A Good Bag for the Price

By Jerry Bokunewicz Ranked #67 - Rolling Gear Bags March 11, 2009

I paid $129 for the bag last year. I took it to Jamaica and then on several other trips both dometic as well as international.

So far it has held up well. Considering the dimensions, it really doesn't hold a lot of clothes. Also, with the recent implementation of baggage fees, you may get slammed if it goes overweight.

When I was in Jamaica, the split feature came in handy. Somehow on the return trip, my bag weighed 5 lbs more than when I left. I was able to split the bag and not get hit with an overweight charge.

Also, with a bag like this, I would expect it to have some sort of internal organization system like straps or interior compartments. It has a two large openings and that's it! Its OK for persona travel when you are packing casual clothes but I wouldn't pack a suit jacket. I use a different bag when I travel for business because I need to transport suits which would be crumpled in this bag.
