Timberland Wheeled Duffle 30 Inch Lightweight Large Rolling Luggage Bag Suitcase, Grape Leaf, 30

I can't say enough good things about this luggage. We bought two of the 32 inch and two of the 28 inch duffles to take our family of 4 (mom, dad, two boys 12 and 14) through 20 days in Alaska; we needed everything from formal clothes for cruise dinners to full hiking gear for glacier walking. The bags were checked onto four plane flights, two bus rides, one train trip, and stuffed in the back of a rental car for a week, and they still look like new. Everywhere we took them (into and out of hotels and transportation, waiting at check-ins, transversing concourses), I just kept being in awe of how incredibly easy they were to deal with, from handles in all the right places to standing up perfectly every time we stopped for a moment. We especially liked the fact that it was super easy to put an overstuffed backpack on each of them as we were rolling them along; because of shape of the end and the length of the handle, the backpacks rode very nicely.They were also super easy to deal with because they fit the eBags brand of packing cubes perfectly. The 32 inch duffle could take a stack of three large-size cubes and a stack of three medium-size cubes with little wasted space; the 28 inch duffle could take either a stack of two large-size cubes and a stack of two small-size cubes with room for a thin layer across the top, or two stacks of two or three medium cubes with a small cube on it's edge at the end. We shifted things around at one point and found that if we put a stack of 2 large cubes in the 28 inch duffle, either dress shoes or hiking shoes (including size 13) fit nicely in the remaining space.Another great thing about these bags is that I came way under on weight; with every suitcase we have ever had, I have always been at 49.5 or 50 lbs, but even the 32 inch duffle fully stuffed came in at only 45 lbs. I should mention that I filled these duffles pretty full, and I was careful to squish the bag and pull the seams together with my fingers before running the zipper, so as to not stress the zipper.

I just returned from a few weeks in Europe and this was exactly what I wanted. It's a very lightweight yet sturdy duffel. As a duffel it can be stuffed if necessary but it's built strong enough to take it. The clamshell design is very useful. The wheels and handle are well built. The padded hand holds on three sides are strong and great for slinging it around on trains and planes and autos. I checked it on my flights and it suffered no damage. It's easy to spot out on the luggage conveyor which is nice.I roll PJs, sweatshirts, t-shirts and underwear rather than fold, and can pack 8 or 10 changes in the top zippered compartment. The bottom of the main compartment is not flat, since the rails for the handles run along it, but I just stuffed smaller items between them. I put shirts and sweaters on hangers and roll them up around the hangers and that fits nicely on top of stuff in the main compartment. When I get somewhere is just open the clamshell and hang up those items and everything else is well organized and accessible without needing to unpack.This is my first trip with it so I can't really speak to long term durability so I left those stars blank.

2017 August update; Updating my review, simply out of gratitude to the best piece of luggage I have ever owned. In fact, it is so good that I am writing a second review although I very rarely write reviews.I have lived in 5 different countries and visited many more, so I have some experience. This piece fits so much more than its size, AND I can rest assured that when packed to the brink I am still within standard weight restrictions of most, if not all, airlines. I know myself well enough to know that if my luggage is bigger I will fill it with more stuff and go over weight restrictions. This piece of luggage that I bought in 2013 is still functioning perfectly. It is showing some wear, but nothing that hinders me from using it again, and again. If anything I am stressing over whether to buy another one for the future now, just in case the day comes when it is no longer being manufactured...I sincerely could not recommend a product more.2013; A truly great piece of luggage. It is sturdy, strong, very well made. I love that it has two main compartments as opposed to one, it makes for easier, more practical and organized packing. It rolls easily, and it is good looking!I highly recommend this brand and this particular piece.I travel quite a lot, I bought it in 2013 so it has some signs of wear but nothing unexpected.I never leave reviews but I felt like I had to on this one since I've been so pleased with it in every way. Good luck!
