Pack ski gear into The North Face Rolling Thunder Duffel for a weekend getaway, or fill this rolling duffel to the brim for an extended trip to South America. The North Face made the Rolling Thunder Duffel from nearly invincible tarpaulin and a go-cart frame with an aluminum chassis that withstands rough handling and supports heavy loads. Grab this duffel’s wing handles, shove the bag onto your car’s roof rack, and strap it down for the trip to the ski area or the airport. Despite this duffel’s name, reinforced inline skate wheels glide quietly to the airline check-in counter and don’t falter when you pull this bag through light snow or on uneven sidewalks. Inside the Rolling Thunder, compression straps help stabilize your load.
Bottom Line: This bag will hold the kitchen sink.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
I'm really interested in this bag (TNF Rolling Thunder Duffel,
I'm really interested in this bag (TNF Rolling Thunder Duffel, size: Large) for studying abroad in Europe for 5 months. Does anybody know if the size of the bag will be suitable for both American and European airline luggage regulations? Also, if you have any other suggestions that might top this bag for studying abroad for a semester, please let me know! Thanks!!

If you are talking carry-on, these are too big. Generally airlines foreign or domestic consider 22" x 14" x 9" to be MAX carry-on size.
For checked luggage, the size will not be an issue. You will then only be competing with weight limits and the fees associated- typically 50lbs is the magic number; but again, this depends on the airline. So, unless you are packing your rock collection and a ton of gear, you should be under this no problem.
Overall, good pick for your trip. You shouldn't have any problems. Have fun!

Little heavy, but fits all you can imagine and a bit more.

The main difference (other than the price) between this one and the previous year model(s) is the carrying handles. Same great bag, slightly different look. See my previous reviews. My advice: get an older model for cheaper:

Cosmetics slightly different than before. However, its still the same old bag that youve grown to love. Bomber construction with the tarp fabric and roller blade wheels. This thing takes anything that you can dish at it. Oh, and the gaping maw fits at least a weeks worth of stuff and your extra ski boots. Just dont put so much in that you get overweight baggage!

The North Face Rolling Thunder is great for packing Christmas presents as well as camping equipment. While a little heavy, it is the piece of luggage that is bomber proof and that you will want in Mongolia or similar places. You will not be disappointed in this trunk or what it can carry.

This one does not. Check out The North Face Longhaul series if you are looking for a handle.
The Rolling Thunder is long enough that you really don't need a handle at the angle that rolls at. It is pretty heavy to begin with as well - I wouldn't want to any more weight to this bag these days....
