Duffle broke on third use. It was 11 months old. Dring my trip, I noticed that the main zipper had broken from the fabric and could not be repaired. My concern was that it would get worse and the clothes would fall out. I used two external straps to secure the Duffel for the remainder of the trip. Upon my return, I contacted High Sierra would offered to replace the Duffel. So - great design and manufacturer customer service but poor quality.
