I am a TravelPro enthusiast, having purchased TP luggage for myself and all my family for over thirteen years.  Most of my TP bags lasted 3-5 years of very heavy use, being dragged over cobblestones and broken tarmac in 12 countries.  I was a living, breathing evangelist for TravelPro.

And last week I bought this TrvelPro Walkabout Lite 3 bag for my 29 year-old daughter.  She flew here on one airline, 7 hours, and the bag arrived with pieces falling off.  The scuff-guard on the bottom literally fell off on the first flight of its life, and I understand why.  Looking at it closely, the plastic flap is sewn on to the nylon bottom with a single thread.  And that thread came off on three sides completely.  Cheap, shoddy construction.

The handle and wheels feel wobbly and fragile compared to my TravelPro Crew 6 roll-aboard, and the zippers are of a significantly lighter material.

Very disappointing.  This will go back to Amazon, and I will look for an older TravelPro Crew 5 or 6 if I can find them.  Hoping the quality is what it used to be.
