Looks sturdily constructed but details matter. For one, the dimensions/capacity are deceptive. The overall length includes the wheel base BUT the luggage itself is almost an inch shorter. I doubt the full expanded mode can accoodate 55 liters. The handle liner is quite thin, not as substantial as previous Eagle Creek models. I also found the zipper annoyingly sticky to close. The four front tie downs are of thin rubber and don't look very durable. On the plus side the fabric looks beefy. Unlike the unstable "T" single post handle, the double post design is more stable to pull and sling bags on. For a MSRP of $419.I expected better features
The main zippered compartment opening is small..much smaller than its predecessors...and in point of fact, the actual compartment either expanded or not does not easily hold the 40L of contents..The expanding handle also takes up about 3/4" of interior compartment. I did not use the nag but returned it due to lack of usable space
I have broken every piece of luggage I’ve ever owned (and not gracefully). I am unkind to luggage, backpacks, bags, etc. I’ve had this one for almost a year now and have shoved, dropped, swung, bashed, and crushed it in several countries. No rips, cracks, zipper trouble, damage of any kind. It’s really quite sturdy. It fits well in overhead bins and I even shoved it in the overhead of a tiny regional US connector (just barely). Only time I had it taken away and checked was with a regional EU carrier but no surprise there- If I didn’t have it expanded and if I were more slick, I might have gotten away with it. Wheels are terrific. It doesn’t fit a ton but you can squish and expand it easily. 55L is with it expanded (in my opinion). Definitely pricey - I waited until one of the sales so at least I could get 20% off.
