Comments about REI Luggage Tag:
We have these on all our luggage but have noticed that we have arrived at our destinations several times without them. As another person mentioned, they unscrew themselves very easily. You need to check and tighten them each time before you travel. I also wish that they would fit a standard business card. We have to cut the cards to get them to fit. We love how they are visible they are, but have just resigned ourselves to the fact that we will need to keep replacing them.

Comments about REI Luggage Tag:
Very durable tag and very happy with it. Had the same problem of the barrel coming loose so I just added a little Loctite to it from local hardware store and no more problems. Very durable tag and very easy to spot your luggage from the conveyer belt. Have had many tags that fall apart at the abuse of the airlines but these seem like they will hold up for a while. Worth it!

I bought 4 of these. I love the way they look.
But they come unscrewed WAY too easily.
And after 6 months, they started falling apart.

Comments about REI Luggage Tag:
I consider this luggage tag to be half way there. The outside part is rugged and can take a beating however the clear plastic part can crack when the airlines are throwing around your luggage. I've purchased a few for a long trip out of the country and 2 of them were cracked when I returned home. As far as the part that attaches to your luggage, I've never had that come undone. I believe that these are too big and that's why they crack therefore I would recommend the smaller versions of these luggage tags which unfortunately weren't available when I first purchased mine. There are some small square and round REI luggage tags that should do the trick better than these.

Comments about REI Luggage Tag:
I've read the reviews about the wire coming unscrewed, but I wanted to try these tags anyway. I have a quick fix that has solved this problem for me. Just add a dab of glue to the threads before you screw the wire together. Depending on the glue you use you may never be able to unscrew it - so be warned.
I have had these luggage tags attached to my climbing duffels on three trips to Rainier, a month in the Himalayas on Yaks, and most recently a couple weeks through South East Asia and have never lost a tag yet.
Another tip to make these even more rugged is after you fill out your name info on the paper tag insert, take it to an office store and have them laminate the paper tag insert, then cut it to size and slide it into the luggage tag and now your tag is waterproof too! Learned this the hard way after a tag got soaked and the paper disentigrated. Now they are truly bomb proof.

Comments about REI Luggage Tag:
These tags look great and they are highly visible. Store bar code needs to go on the back and not the plastic window. I've gone on three trips and lost a tag on two of the trips. The wire pulls out of the threaded connector. This appears to be a quality of construction problem. If you used a stainless coated wire and a nicopress connection, they would never break and I'd pay double the amount. I like everything but the wire that breaks away from the connector.

Comments about REI Luggage Tag:
We bought two of these luggage tags for our trip to Europe. They looked to be durable and come in variety of colors. We attached them to our bags - they screw together. By the time we got to London, my husbands was missing. We figured that he must not have tightened it correctly. Mine was loose so I tightened mine up as much as I could. After a few days of moving around from hotel to hotel, we then caught another plane to Italy and when I retrieved my bag it was loose again. Frustrated I asked my husband to tighten it up again. The third plane a few days later, it was missing off my bag when I went to collect it. If you do buy this recommend you superglue the lock together so it doesn't come off!

I bought two of these for a trip to Japan. Both of them broke in the same way on the first leg of the trip - the cable broke away from the screwing closure piece.

Good looking tag, but unfortunately, not secure. Fell off on my first trip. At [$] a pop...not a cheap loss.

This luggage tag failed the first use on a trip to Iceland. Poor construction of the wire and clasp which broke. I thought it looked strong, I was so wrong.
