I've bought about 6 of these bags over the years. When the price drops to about $20 snap them up. Anything more is a total waste of money. They last about 3-4 cruises without air travel, or about 2 trips when flying. The more they are handled by airport or baggage handlers the more stress is put on the seams and they start to tear and come apart. The biggest highlight is the HOT PINK model. You can see it from space in my opinion. The great customs area after a cruise voyage your HOT PINK luggage will stand out in the crowd of black and red luggage. Forget about tying a ribbon, the entire bag is visible on luggage carrousels or on the floor of any baggage retrieval area. The many pockets are nice, the big central pocket is great. Holds about 5 days of clothes for my 6'2" use. Just don't expect to use it for years and years. Figure after 3 uses it will be close to retirement. Time to take another out of the closet. I watch the prices often on Amazon, and am amazed that it will sell for $140 for months at a time. But don't pay that much. I've bought in 2017 & 2019 for about $25. For that much money it is a bargain to always see my luggage first.This is the perfect bag for a competitive dancer. This is an affordable alternative to the Rac N Roll, Dance Angel, Dream Duffle, or any other comparative bag. We used PVC pipe and made a garment rack to stand inside the bag. I also made a curtain to hang on the garment rack to turn the bag into a "dressing room." Any portable rolling garment rack under 30" can fit inside this bag.This bag can hold everything you need for the dance season. It's stood up to lots of travel and recitals. It fits easily in the trunk of a car. The four side pockets are very deep and can hold large items. The wheels make it easy for a young dancer to maneuver the bag on her own. We love that we can pack literally everything we need into one bag. I'm 5'6 and this bag comes to my hips when it is standing up. We pack everything in plastic shoe boxes and organizers so that when everything shifts when you stand it up, nothing moves very much. You can also sew metal rings into the top (the end with the handle) to hold clothes on a hanger so that when you stand it up, they don't fall to the bottom.I give this four stars instead of five because the fabric is wearing between the wheels.Pros:It's enormous and can hold enough for the competition season for at least two dancers. It's very large.Huge pockets that can hold large items or lots of items. For example, one side pocket can hold 6 pairs of dance shoes.It can hold a portable garment rack that can be packed into the bag.It's easy to travel with and maneuver through crowds and long distances from parking to venues.Cons:The fabric wears easily on the bottom between the wheels.The bag can tip over easily when standing on its own.If not packed full, things will fall to the bottom when you stand it up.It can be "too big" for little kids to use on their own.It can be too big for small, crowded spaces.Pros: Nice bright colors available, LOTS of space, lightweight when empty, I liked all the outside pockets for stashing dirty laundry, has wheels and a retractable handle.Cons: Not sturdy enough for air travel or long distances walking in between terminals, tips over when you are walking quickly, doesn't have a shoulder strap to help you can carry it like a duffel when you need to pick it up, thin material that ripped after only one trip.I really liked having a pink bag on my last trip. Everyone else has black, so it was easy to spot on the luggage carousel, but the downside is you realize exactly how dirty airplanes are and how careless baggage handlers are. It started off pink by by the end of only one flight it was super dirty and gray. I unpacked and left the bag untouched in my room for the whole trip, but by the end of the return flight home, the bag already had a rip. But the bag was only $35 so I am not super disappointed. I think it would be ok for camping or for car trips where you are in possession of it the whole time and can take care of it because it does hold quite a lot. So just depends on what you're looking for. Going forward, I will probably be using it to store winter clothes and blankets in the garage.Purchased this rolling duffle bag in pink as a hockey bag for my daughter. It took a lot of abuse from year-round hockey, and lasted two seasons - for the price of $39 that is a bargain!! I replaced it with the exact same bag and it lasted another 2 years until my daughter was ready and old enough for a carry bag. The zippers and the wheels held up to 4-5x weekly trips through the snow and parking lots to the rink, being tossed in and out of the vehicles. I can not say enough about this bad for the money - it was absolutely worth the money. I would have spent $180 for one brand name rolling “hockey bag” that would have had the same lifespan.One of my friends was heading overseas and needed a suitcase large enough to carry a LOT of clothing and personal items. This fit the bill perfectly, since it's storage capacity is large enough to easily exceed the airlines weight limits (I believe we were able to get about 60 lbs // 25KG into it, which was too much - and still had some room). It rolls nicely enough for such a bulky bag, and seems overall to be decent quality. One huge plus is that it's very light weight when empty, meaning that more of your weight allotment will go to your stuff vice being used up by the suitcase itself.There is something about it that seems a little flimsy, so I wouldn't pack anything delicate or breakable in it - there isn't much more protection than you'd get from putting your things in a canvas bag. It made the trip overseas safely without falling apart, but I can't speculate as to it's long-term durability. Still, for the price (about fifty) it was a great item, and I'd probably buy one again.So, I did my very first trip on the other side of the planet with this bag. I bought the pink one so I could recognize it at the airport and because it was cheaper than all the other colors.Why 3 stars? Well, there is not solid back, you feel the handle frame inside. I also practiced my muscles with this thing. 23kg of clothes and stuff, it does not roll too well. I envied those that were just pulling theirs easily. So be prepared for a bit of forcing with this huge bag.Aside from the soft back and non-smooth rolling, this was one of the rare bags with lots of compartments, solid and big for the price I paid. So in general, I was happy, but if I had a bit more money that time, I would have chosen something else with possibly 4 wheels or at least with a solid back.The package was indeed broken (it was mentioned to me, so no stars off for that) BUT you feel like this was just shipped in a hurry. No nice boxes or anything to make you feel WOW about your new purchase. But I guess this cope's up with the price I paid. No useless expensive box, just a plain old brown box with the item in a plastic bag, and this was FLAT so nothing to impress in the packaging.I'm satisfied for the price I paid and this went in 7 different airports so it passed the test for me.As for checking in this bag on the airline I advise not to pack anything (or very little, less bulky items) in the side pockets. There is a risk of the bag to exceed maximum measurements. Some airlines are less rigid than others, since I traveled on 2 different airlines I left them empty to avoid problems. There is ample room in the main compartment. I was going away for a month and needed to pack for cold & hot weather wear. I over packed for what I needed but still had room for more stuff. The bright pink colour makes it so noticeable coming down the baggage carousel. It can be a little cumbersome to manoeuvre around tight corners. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.I bought this to carry my snowboarding gear (boots, helmet, clothes) when I travel, and after the first use (2 flights) it's already showing some wear in the corners. This is not a bag that I expect to last years, but for the price it does what I need it to. It keeps it's shape well when packed, rolls well, zippers are good, and it can fit A TON of stuff in it. I don't recommend it if you are going on a multi-flight extended trip where it's going to get handled a lot.Great quality. I like it is pretty and can carry a lot of things in it. I recently went away and I had my things and some of 2 other people's in it too. Lots of pockets for seperating clothes and for shoes. The only draw back is that I think that it may be too big for the handle. There is too much space for the handle inside. Whenever I have bought suitcases with that issue they soon break.Igualita a la de la imagen!! Muy espaciosa y el color es muy bonito!! Funciona perfectamente bien
