empty it weighs half as much as a similar LW. Fits comfortably in overheads while commuting. Fits in the crappy 737 spot up front. I can pack for 6-7 days with minimal effort (more if I really tried).

great bag.

I paired it with this.

Ah don’t worry about it. If it works and you like it, save the money until it breaks. You’ll enjoy it way more than some LW behemoth that scratches up your car. Ask me how I know…

Other than the one that JTwift mentioned is anyone else using B&R and what model is working for you?? I am done with LW about to drop this bag for a B&R or Tumi. Won’t buy another LW product. Ever.

I used a Travelpro spinner for a while. Much preferred it to the two wheel drag 90% of the time. Two wheels worked better on uneven terrain. But in the airport etc. the spinner was easier. I went back to my LW because I found I couldn’t pack enough in the spinner for winter. Probably can get 20% more in my LW. I may go back to the spinner for summer.

this. Made the switch 6 years ago and never looked back.

I love my Strongbags. It’s aluminum and fairly lightweight, at least in comparison to luggage works

Looks nice. I'm not quite understanding the velcro handle around the front of the suitcase--a duffle-style handle over a suitcase frame. It seems superfluous. Do you find that feature a drawback at all?

It's also nice in the hotel room to put your bag on the fold out bag holder thing so it's off the floor.

It's not necessary, but I do use it, and it doesn't get in the way. I wasn't 100% sure if I'd use it, but I do.
