I bought this luggage in Late June. I ordered Lava Red, it came in early and it was burnt umber orange and it's not that attractive. the shape is good looking, but useless. It tapers at the top and is definitely not 28" I'd say it is about 25-26" which was a HUGE disappointment because I have specific uses for my luggage and it NEEDED it to be 28" minimum. granted, I used my luggage three-five times a week , but I've had it about two months and there's already a five inch rip near the zipper. previously I had a USED luggage set from the mid 80's and it probably was cheaply made then, and it lasted five times as long. the sides are stiff, although the zippered compartment inside the luggage is cheap and not large enough, the pockets are ok, but not set up well. the wheels have not broke yet, which is a pro. and I do like the plastic bottom because having fabric there would of been a huge failure in design. but the piping is already frayed and the buckles that are supposed to "support" the bag are cheap and you can't adjust them to squeeze the insides to a smaller load. the bag was heavier than I thought which made me a bit sad because I have to put about 60lbs or equipment in it's insides and don't need any more weight. The one reason I got this bag is because of the great reviews! if I had known how it would fair I don't think I would of gotten it. I hope you don't make the same mistake if you're going to use this bag on a regular basis, it would be fine if you are going to use it once yearly, but you might not want to spend so much if that's what you plan to do.

You can't beat this wheeled upright, light and tough! Grab it on sale and you are a winner.

I bought a set; very nice quality and features. This bag is holding almost 2 weeks of clothes for our Nicaragua trip. It's compact, light weight, but the expandable bit really adds volume to what is otherwise a medium size bag. It's the answer to sleek travel, with lots of clothes!
