If you don't like jackasses stuffing their bags on top of yours just pick yours up and put it in an overhead bin. That guppy bag storage cheese grader sucks no matter what what kind of bags you have.

Um, I may have found your problem....

FWIW, my Purdyneat (AKA LW) is going on 18 this year. Been back twice for zippers and through 2 sets of wheels, one handle and two kick plates (all DIY) and still keeps on ticking.

Nu

 

I gotta ask, is your bag still black or shading green? Like a worn pair of jeans.

 

Depends on natural, or flourescent light.

I had to send mine back for a zipper after 10 years.

Replaced the crappy aluminum handle (which broke during a trip) with the stainless steel...it will last longer than I will.

I added a small piece of thin angle-steel on the bottom kickplate edge, since the aluminum being dragged over rocks or curbs was grinding it away.

It too will last forever.

The rivets are a weak point. The three that have failed I replaced with AN-3/series aircraft bolts with self-locking nuts (sts).

Wheels were getting hard to spin. Was going to replace them, and when I took the bolts out, found the bearings were covered with hair and carpet fuzz.

Cleaned it, packed new grease in the bearings (Fafnir; a good aircraft-quality brand), and they are great now, too.

Yeah, there are others that are lighter, cheaper, or fit in the overhead of an RJ, but mine has history.

Plus, everyone used them when I got in the biz. It just LOOKS like an airline pilot's bag!

 

I liked mine too, it just didn't last. It didn't last a day longer than a travelpro, back when they were twice the price of a travelpro.

 

I commute, and I'm tired of lifting my LW bag into the overhead. I'm trying to decide between the Costco bag and the LW Stealth Air with side pockets ($290). I'd like to give the Costco bag a try, but I'm not sure I can live without side pockets.

For the layover, you'll need faded Lee jeans, a cellphone holster and some white tennis sneakers. (These are all protection from any possibility of catching STD's.)

 

OP - PM'd you. Thx.
