I am a very frequent traveler and suitcases usually don't last very long. I just received this one so it hasn't travelled yet. I will update my posts after a couple of trips. My initial impression is pretty good. It seems to be well build with sturdy wheels. The capacity is good but it does feels a bit on the heavy side.
I usually travel with a 29 inch hardside suitcase and a 29 inch rolling duffle. I decided to replace my duffle with this 25 inch softside because i've purchase 3 duffles in the past 3 years and non of them seem to last (they get ripped very easily no matter what brand I buy). Only time will tell if a softside suitcase was a wiser choice.
I will be taking a close look at the 3 weak points after some traveling;
The wheels (as they stick out, those are usually the first ones to break)
The zippers (that depends on the stitching quality)
The telescopic handle, how well it slides in and out, whether it locks closed properly and if it doesn't get bend.
My hopes are high...
