Thats my point. There are not many pieces of luggage that can stand up to 3 or 4 years of the airline lifestyle. Especially if you commute. If you go buy some cheap Costco brand luggage you can expect it to fall apart within about a year or so. Nevermind the warranty you get on the better bags. Even the Travel Pros seem to last at most 2-3 years until people get fed up with the constant trips to the luggage store for repairs and the loaner bags. The only problem I have ever heard of anyone having with the Purdy Neat bags is burning out the wheels which are easily replaced with normal rollerblade wheels.
