By Bevilynn from Norway, MI on 11/20/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Pack, Strong Zippers Best Uses: Airline Travel, Short Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: High Sierra Wheeled Duffles are great. I've had the 30" duffle for over 5 years and it has held up great, even with international travel. I wanted a smaller duffle for shorter trips, so this one should work quite well. I haven't used it as a backpack yet, I tried that with the 30" duffle, but since I am short, it was most uncomfortable. I don't plan on using this duffle as a backpack very often, but I do hope it will work out better than the larger one did.
By Sue from metro DC on 09/16/2008 Best Uses: Short Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: On the zipper into one of the end compartments, the teeth pulled away from the twill after only the second use...impossible to fix. I did not abuse/overstuff the bag, nor does it seem that the airline tossed it around too badly (no other scuffs). Very disappointing, as the bag is really nicely designed. This is my second High Sierra purchase, and the second that I've had to send back due to zipper failure.
Good point and bad points, like life By ealaspada from Florida on 08/10/2008 Best Uses: Airline Travel, Extended Travel, Short Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have used this bag on many trips from shorter domestic trips to longer treks through England and Central America. It has many good points: the wheels are sturdy and it rolls well; the fabric is durable; it has much more room than a carry on while still modestly sized and not too heavy (though the wheels do add weight); its sportier design doesn't completely rat you out as a naive tourist on your foreign jaunts. It also has its issues: One of the main compartment's zippers broke on first use; because of the design it's 4050 cubic inches result in not quite as much capacity as you would imagine (when the side pockets are packed, it leaves much less room in the main compartment). One reason I purchased a duffle is I was hoping it would make for easier rolling down the aisle of European trains (it has a much smaller width than regular rolling luggage), but it still proved to be difficult in navigating (the backpack straps are your best bet in this situation). All in all it was certainly a good bet for the money, but expect a few disappoints. But then, such is life...
By Peace Corp Volunteer from St. Kitts/Nevis on 08/05/2008 Pros: Durable, Large Capacity, Lightweight Best Uses: Airline Travel, Extended Travel, Short Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: From the pictures in your catalog I thought the duffel would stand up-right - it does not and this is a big drawback when traveling via airlines.
By Paula the traveler from Denver CO on 06/29/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Transport Best Uses: Extended Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very handy for all the hard to pack items. Easy to carry and load into a packed car.
I hope this one's better than the last.. By Bill from Massachusetts and Bali, Indonesia on 06/25/2008 Pros: Easy to Transport, Large Capacity Cons: Heavy, Main zipper failed shoul, zippers fail easily Best Uses: Airline Travel, Extended Travel, Short Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the design very much, although it is more heavy than I expected. That's why I bought another. But the first has not proved durable at all. I travel to Asia three times a year, and if it lasted well it would be perfect. Perhaps I was unlucky and this second, smaller one will last better. I hope so.
By Bio Researcher from Oklahoma on 06/20/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Transport, Lightweight Best Uses: Airline Travel, Short Travel, Work week Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Rolls easier than more expensive bags I have had in the past. It even stood upright when fully loaded, and didn't topple like most full bags. I would like it even more if it were to be just a little larger, but it is a great value and as advertised. Disappointed that the airline baggage handling apparently tore off one of the main compartment zipper tabs the first time I used it.
By JC from Chicago, IL on 06/19/2008 Pros: Easy to Transport, Large Capacity Best Uses: Extended Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: If it fit in the overhead on an airplane that would be great

I like the Backpack straps for use in Airports when carrying several bags. Lots of storage space. Good overall value.
By Pinchas from LA on 06/05/2008 Pros: Easy to Transport, Lightweight Cons: Poor canvas and zippers Best Uses: Airline Travel, Short Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: They are a convenient size and design, and a good price, but the canvas will fray and tear over time and the zippers are not first quality. After a few air trips I wouldn't rely on them anymore. Alright for other uses.
