High Sierra 26" Wheeled Duffel with Backpack Straps

I was looking for a strong, durable and well built piece of luggage. I travel pretty often and most of the times I pick up my baggage broken at airports. Automated luggage transport systems have absolutely no respect for passengers belongings. And I was tired of that.

I once purchased a High Sierra Backpack and its a great bag. So I decided to buy the High Sierra 26" wheeled duffle this time, and I just don't regret. Even price is a little higher than many other brands, when you have it in your hands you'll be sure it's worth the investment. Enough space, useful compartments, really strong zippers and sturdy, although with a modern look. And yes, it survived 3 of the most baggage-dangerous airports: Orlando, Chicago and Mexico City (in round trips each).

I purchased this bag only to have the plastic handle used to pull the bag crack on the second day of my trip. Very disappointed and I would definitely not recommend. I purchased the bag because of the good reviews but I am regretting this now. It could be a fluke but I am going to simply try to return it and get a different bag.

I travelled back to the UK with my new bag, and faulty stitching down one corner has already resulted in a gaping hole. This is very shoddy workmanship, and I feel like I was ripped-off. Now we have the hassle of my partner taking the bag back to the USA before it can be returned for a refund.

I took this on a three week trip to SE Asia. I thought I wouldn't make it out of my home city! As others have stated, it does not stand up on it's own. I thought that wouldn't be a big deal, but it was pretty annoying. The other difficult part was that it was not stable while pulling it, even on even ground. I had to be very careful and had to keep righting it after it tipped over. Other than that, it did fit a lot of stuff, and I didn't have any problems with it ripping or anything like that. I locked myself out of it once and was able to break in by using a ballpoint pen to open the zipper, then put it back together. So it's not super secure, but I think the same is true for any bag with a zipper. I tried it on as a backpack just to see if that would work. I was able to put it on, but I wouldn't want to wear it like that for any length of time. There was one time on the trip when I had to carry it up four flights of stairs, but I ended up just carrying it awkwardly in front of me by the handle because I didn't feel like getting out the backpack straps. The price was much better than other bags I saw. I'd say if you need it for a single trip and don't want to spend a lot of money, this will work. If you plan to travel often, go for a more expensive bag.
