After having so many suitcases that broke after one or two trips, thank God I found a line of suitcases that last. I started with the 20" in this line - I've had it 5 years. Since then I have added the carry-on size and now the large one here. I purchased this one to accommodate winter clothes for a long stay. They maneuver nicely - managed easily to get all 3 from the baggage claim to curbside by myself. I choose SwissGear initially because the nice durable backpacks that they make. The suitcases seem to hold up well too. The only complaint: I have lost several zipper pulls.
