I purchased these for my college student daughter who is starting to travel more. She used the carryon and the tote/duffle, but checked them both in. They held up well on her trip to Washington, D.C. Delta airlines lost her luggage on the trip back so I'm not able to comment for sure further, but trust that they continue to hold up. She's in college in Orlando; the bags went to Atlanta, GA. Hopefully she will be reunited with the luggage soon and I can provide an update.
