 Exceptionally sturdyOct 03, 2006
By Love books, love gadgets
I bought this suitcase in the late 90s and it's still in great shape, despite a lot of abuse. Not that I recommend doing this, but I often tuck the handle in and sit on the suitcase when I'm waiting at train stations, bus stops or airports. The wheels have held up well to all sorts of surfaces, including cobbled streets and gravel. I also sometimes don't bother picking the suitcase up when going down stairs, letting it simply thump along behind me and it's still in one piece. (Again, this is not something I'd recommend doing!)
European and Asian airlines have much lower weight allowances on carry-on baggage, so I do find that I have to check it in unless I'm flying on an American carrier. Whenever I do that, I make sure to pack my toiletries and a day's worth of clothing in my Civita Day Pack just in case the airlines misplace my luggage.
I love this suitcase and wouldn't hesitate to buy another if I ever do manage to destroy it -- I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Excellent travel bag - especially for TALL peopleSep 06, 2006
By Teresa K. Reveley
I love Rick Steves' books, so I gave this travel bag a go. My husband is exceptionally tall (6'7") and he loves the extra-extendable handle for the Roll Aboard bag. The sturdy construction is no illusion. I've now sent this bag as presents to most of my family members, and everyone loves it. There is an excellent color selection.

Excellent CarryonNov 25, 2006
By sallysue
This is an excellent roll-aboard that meets carryon regulations. It is made of sturdy material, has a large interior so you can get a lot in it, has handy outside pockets. It is very stable, great for those mad dashes through airports. The suitcase fits easily in the overhead compartments and the expandable feature is nice to have when you've reached your destination and want a little extra space. I bought a green one and liked it so much that we bought a blue one for my husband. Both colors are attractive.

 Sent it backApr 26, 2007
By Rosebud
"Livin' La Vida Loca"
Gave this product three stars because it is indeed lightweight, as advertised, which is no small thing for me - a 4'11" woman. Frankly it is barely middle of the road.
After giving the bag a good lookover, I sent it back because it seems more like a $70 bag. The stitching is poorly executed, the material isn't great, the zipper pulls seem cheap, and the inside lining is kind of funky. The side handle isn't comfortable, and lastly, although the handle pulls out extra long, which is good for a tall person, you can't make it stay at the halfway point, so it isn't good for a short person.
I ended up purchasing the Eagle Creek Tarmac ES 22 - yes more expensive, and 1.5 los heavier, but with many more features and a lifetime unconditional guarantee, it is a much better bang for the buck.

Great design, well made, lightNov 27, 2006
By SaladQueen
I just received mine and will purchase another for my husband. Finally giving in to having wheelie bags after carrying convertible shoulder bags overseas for many years (same idea as Rick Steves' bags, but another make). The long handle is great, I love the compartments, and the light weight is fab. I chose merlot and it's a nice color also. Really good price.
