Almost every screw has gotten loose even after adding locktite and bigger screws. Zippers are breaking off left and right and now the stitching is coming apart. The frame is bent and oh yea the bag weighs like 50 pounds empty. It’s likely you’ll end up with shoulder problems at some point from lifting this thing into the overheads. I strongly recommend going with any except for LW.

A guy I flew with recently had one that looked almost new. When I asked how long he had it he said 15 years. I was shocked especially when he told me that he’s done next to nothing to it except replace a zipper. That leads me to believe these were once very good bags but are not anymore.
