Last luggage works bag I had started having major issues a little over a year in (zipper broke, wheel started rubbing, screw kept coming out and/or stripping the metal). For $300, I would expect it to last more han a year. Bought the costco bag as a stop gap as it was actually cheaper than the repairs to keep using luggage works bag. Here we are 2 years later, the costco bag has become my permanent bag. I honestly have no problem buying a new $100 bag every 2-3 years if that’s what it takes. The costco bag is good enough.
