We chose this luggage based on how little it weighed compared to all previous luggage we have owned - and it really has proved to be a great choice.  The lightness comes in handy not only for our having to pick it up but also with airline limitations for checked luggage.  We did have one problem the first trip - both large bags came back with the metal logo strips gone (I strongly suspect they were pried off somewhere along the line), which left four holes in the bag.  I contacted the seller and within days, those pieces had been replaced.  Other than that the luggage has worn well, the carry-on is easy to lift and place in the overhead bin and we are delighted we made this purchase.
