Second the PNT. I have had mine since 98. The first five years it was abused as a commuter. Obviously it is a little scuffed up by now. I too often think I should get a new one, but when I look at the shape it is still in, it just doesn't make sense yet. Sometimes you don't just get what you pay for, but even more than you would have ever expected. That is PNT IMHO.

I've had my travelpro since May and it already has come apart where the zipper is sown to the bag in about a 5 inch hole, the back pocket seam is separated completely across the bottom, and two of the 6 zipper pulls have broken off. All of this within the first 4 months of ownership.

I'll never own another Travelpro POS!

Too bad you didn't buy it here, $161.00 and FREE shipping, so almost half off. Oops.

How's that saying go? A fool and his money? Something like that.

actually it was on sale orig 260
with 50 percent off then 20 dollars more if i use my Macys card so only 120 total

Do you always quote things you buy in full retail price? Does it make you feel like you got a good deal? You realize they put a higher price on there to make you think you are getting a bargain yet they are still ripping you off ;). My $35 bag (translated for you: retail was $220 according to TJ Maxx) has lasted over a year, which it seems is quite a bit longer than other people have had their Travelpro bags :D.
