Over time, my family has acccumulated a closet full of bags and assorted 'luggage'.  We've never been folks set on a matching set--we tend to pick bags/duffels/suitcases that we think will fit our needs.  When I saw this piece on the Gold deal list--I had to try it out--looked like a good fit for a more than overnight trip, but less than a long weekend.

When the bag arrived, I was impressed with the quality that was evident.  Constructed of durable materials, with plenty of pockets for the size--this bag will serve us well this summer.  My daughter has several trips for band camp and this will be perfect for her--more room than her current duffel and when she overloads it, the heavy, well-constructed wheels will make it easy for her to get from point a to b.  The telescoping handle nests well inside a zippered pocket, which should keep it safe from getting snagged and bent when not in use.

All in all, a great piece that will serve all of us well for years.
