This bag was a GREAT deal. It's very well-made and for this price ($40 about 4 years ago) I couldn't find anything comparable. Most luggage in this price range is flimsy and thin. This is thick tough nylon outer, good linings, good-sized pockets, sturdy zips, decent wheels and trolley handle. It's been on several international flights every year since I got it, still looks great. It had a small (less than an inch) flaw on one of the seams when I got it (looks like a long heat scar from a hot iron, perhaps) but it does not affect the function and is hardly visible. It didn't widen and 4 years later looks the same!
