The straps are made exceptionally well.  We were taken aback after opening the package at what a well made product had arrived.  The straps seem sturdier than other straps weve used over many many years.  We have been making a train with our luggage for a long time with a lot of traveling worldwide. These straps will give us the confidence that they won't break while hurrying through the airport terminals.  We just pop them into the top luggage compartment once we take our train apart and complete checking the luggage in. Recommend this product.
