This is the most expensive piece of luggage I have ever purchased and I can see why.  The wheels are sturdy and functional.  The zippers are studier than anything I've seen.  The red clay coloring makes it easy to spot at baggage claim.  I was able to fit enough business clothes just in this bag to get me through a four-day conference without having to do laundry.  Expensive?  Yes.  Worth the price to me?  Yes.
