I had a Purdy Neat (aka Luggage works) for 8 years and frequently needed to have it repaired. Mostly rivets and other hardware that frequently fell out, but also 2 handle mechanisms broke.
I switched to a Strong Bag and it’s held up very well. I did one handle replacement and other than that it’s been good for about 8 years now.
One big difference in their use was the LW bag was always in a CRJ in and out of the overhead bin. The SB has seen a mix of CRJ/737/767 work. The bigger planes are far less taxing on the bag.
