Quality checked luggage that won't break the bank
« on: July 23, 2017, 01:04:29 PM »
I'm looking for reasonably priced durable spinner luggage suitable for overseas flights. Actual linear dimensions must be 62" or less (including wheels). I have an Ebags credit and the Ebags AMEX deal, so I looked at everything with a decent customer rating there. Every one that fits my criteria has reviews that say something broke on the first or second trip.

That might be more of a testament to the quality of most manufacturers coupled with rough handling by baggage handlers. Did you check higher end (and thus pricier) brands?

Also keep in mind that one review out of hundreds stating that a wheel broke might be normal even for quality brands.
