I should have gone with what I knew works...the Luggage works/purdy neat bag.
I have the 22, I should have purchased the 26, the strongbag is junk, really not and as durable as LW.

Big mistake, lifetime repairs or whatever their claim is, it's JUNK. POS really!!!!
My experience has been the exact opposite. To each his own I guess. I also had the LW bag for many years. Excellent product as well.
I find that the zippers on the SB are 10x better. I went thru so many zippers on the LW bag. Also, I've needed a spare part or 2 for my SB and had no issues contacting them to get replacement parts.

My TravelPro died (2nd? 3rd one??). Seems like I was replacing the 22' approx every two years. This thread popped up, completed my own research, and went for a Briggs & Riley. I like the fact the bag weighs 8#, lifetime warranty, expandable (cool set-up internally, not with a zipper), and rolls well (easy tire change if needed). The zippers are heavy-duty and the outer nylon material feels quite substantial. Honestly, I didn't want the weight of the PN....Hub turns & bag drags begin to take a toll and if this bag lasts 10 years I would be happy.

Talk to me in two years to see if I'm still happy with it!

Real freight dogs wear wheelie-shoes and carry a duffel bag.

It only has one, now.... I jest, I jest. It has two! The old Captains that I flew with must be shaking their heads at us. At least I still carry a "brain bag" and not a "back pack".

I have a Krewe bag that I've used for about three years now. The leather handle broke but they repaired it free and it has been great since.

Bought 2 Zero Halliburtons off eBay in the last 10yrs, 21" & 26", they were already "seasoned" but still in good condition. Took one in for repair, free of charge, when a wheel broke. Had thought they sent me a new one when it arrived at the house. Would NEVER buy a new one: there are always used ones on eBay for a fraction of the cost. Don't intend on buying another case ever.
