Purdy Neat - Worth the $$?

[Brasilia Flyer]

In the market for a new bag. Thinking about Purdy Neat Stealth. Anyone look at the "Strong Bag" startup? Those look similar to the Purdy Neat but about $100 less.

Or, there's Costco with its lifetime warranty.

Anyone know the max depth for the CRJ overhead bins?

Purdy Neat is worth the cost and all models will fit in a CRJ overhead bin.

I go for Costco, maybe not as durable as "Purdy Neat", but I'm a Freight Dog and my bags probably get more punishment in 2 months than an RJ or Mainliner gets in a year.

My bags have always held up well. And the biggest plus, if your on the road and your bag craps out, dump contents on hotel floor, take empty bag to Any Costco (with or with out receipt) and pick up a new one! And your on your way, Vs. Weeks for a "Purdy Neat" return. And for $85.00 how can you loose!

Cheers!

There is a company that started up about 5 years ago. Bags are similar to pretty neat bags. My undrestanding is this start-up is one of the ex owners of pretty neat. They had a falling out and split the other person started another company.

I've had my PNT for over three years and it's still going (very) strong. I like the idea of lifetime instant replacements, but I'd rather spend extra to avoid having to R&R the bag in the first place. That's just the opinion of this lazy b@stard.

The PurdyNeat is the way to go. Best piece of luggage I've ever owned. Well worth the price. However, one suggestion I'll make is to just get the regular 22" instead of the "computer" model ($20 extra). The computer pocket is kinda useless. Also, if you buy it from stopoverstore, they throw in a stabilizing strap for free.

I took my Costco bag back when the handle broke, and the chick there said I needed the original receipt, card it was charged to, and needed to return it to the store where I bought it. I only had a very faded receipt, was not at the store I bought it at, and the card I originally charged it to I don't have anymore. they told me tough luck.

I bought a 27 PNT bag about 4 yrs ago and its still running strong....minus the sand in the roller wheels.

Nothing sucks worse than having you bag break in the middle of a 2 week trip. I can thank Travel Pro for than experience.

Just don't but their leather flight bags.....mine is coming apart already

I've had the PNT for about 5.5 years and its still going strong! Few zippers have given out but with all the abuse of the bro and commuting and such, I'd say i've got my moneys worth out of it. I'll buy it again when the time comes.
Hope that helps
