Quick follow up to the Andare luggage. For those that have it, I was curious how solid the handle is? That's one thing I actually like about the LuggageWorks bag is that the handle is pretty solidly connected to the bag. I tried to go to a different bag a year ago or so and the handle ended up being so flimsy and had so much flex in it I didn't like it and went back to the LuggageWorks.

My Andare arrived yesterday.
I'm a bag snob, and I was skeptical about this thing. However, I am pleasantly surprised. It appears to be well made and has a quality feel to the zippers, wheels, etc.
For $79, delivered, no tax, and with a warranty--I'm impressed. The long term test drive will be the ultimate decider!

Does this bag (and the Apex collection in general) have straps to connect/limk/daisy chain all three bags (22", 15", and cooler tote) or will I need to find some 550 cord etc? Thanks.

I only have the roller bag. It has a buckle-loop thing on the top to hold a bag. It is not a J hook as many have noted, but a J hook could be pretty easily engineered or repurposed from a different rig.

Sounds like a carabiner will work or something similar. Appreciate the info. Probably going to purchase because of the current sale.

I've had to replace my first one after 2 years (under warranty), and my replacement just broke after 2.5 years. I think the original warranty is up, but I can't reach anyone at LW. The website says it's "out of stock," so it might be a moo point.
Eagerly awaiting my Andare ...

Domestic, International is a little less cubic ' volume I think so it will fit on more aircraft. Honestly it's a game changer man. It just works. I modded the strap to be a J-hook and my cooler works perfectly with it. The handle has some play in it, but after almost a year it's holding strong. I can fit an insane amount of stuff into the bag.

Trip report on the Andare bag - I just did a four day (domestic) with it on the 737.
Solid bag, lightweight, and was able to fill it right up, with 4 days worth of clothes, some electronics, sneakers (white, new balance of course) and a heavy winter coat. It fit all in without a problem - I didn't have to expand the bag. Zippers are solid. Handle is a bit shorter than I like, I'm 6' - like the other person said, which results in the balance being a bit off for carrying my small flight bag. I never had the handle release while I was walking. Handle is fine - medium strength like I had said previous. Nothing about the bag seemed flimsy or like it was going to break soon.
In the end, it's a solid bag, replacing my Costco 22" that was starting to need new wheels. At the $79 price point, it's an excellent bag.

I have an eBags 21" Mother Lode Rolling Duffle. It has held up very well for about 4 years of corporate flying, and fits a lot more than you think it would.
