Purdy Neat Stuff Roller Bags ?

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Don't be. I am a member there even though Sams is only 2 miles from my house and Costco is 15. They have great staff, products and service and can compete price wise with anyone. They stand by their products, and I've personally never had a problem with anything I've bought.

Well...... at what point is the return rediculous? I mean if you get your money out of the product and you use it and wear/tear it, why should Costco take it back and give out a new one.

This is like draining the oil out of my truck after 5K miles and returning it for free new oil....

I'm sure if guys could do it they would... as long as everyone could do so..right?

That's the rub... if someone can game the system at everyones elses expense, like the threads on the PCL families sueing, then is it egregious. But taking advantage of a liberal return policy is ok.

I know I know...if Costco allows it...why not!

I recently bought a PNT 22" stealth bag and I like it so far. A bit on the heavy side and packing for 6 days isnt a problem. stopoverstore.com has a pretty good price and you dont neet to enter an airline ID to get a discount

I've had a 26" PNT(now Luggageworks.com) bag for 8 years. Steel frame. I have, for the past 6.5 years, packed for 8 day trips in it with absolutely no problem. This includes 8 days of uniforms/undershirts(4 uniform shirts in the winter, 8 in the summer, plus 8 undershirts year round), 2 pairs of uniform pants, underwear and socks for 8 days(8 pairs of white and 8 pairs of black socks), a pair of jeans, a pair of shorts, 4 after work T-shirts, 4 pairs of workout shorts, and a pair of tennis shoes.

I've also packed the same into a 22" PNT bag, but it's a much tighter fit. Roll everything up.

I have had the 26' Stealth for years. It is a great bag. Have never had trouble carrying it onto an airline. If you work for a large company you can have the company logo embroidered on it.

Can you really pack your summer list in a 22"? If so, you are a packing demi-god. But I would have to see it to believe it.

Packing the summer clothes in a 22" is a tight fit, and the bag is bulging pretty good....but it can be done. As I said, roll everything. Those compression bags that you squeeze the air out of via one way check valves help too.

It comes from years of flying fractional....

...or

being in the military =). I was amazed at how much I can fit into a ruck sack!

I have the Costco 22" ....The bag it self is great (very light, expandable, multiple crevices for whatever u wanna store), however the wheels cannot withstand the heavy flight bag (60lbs...just my company). The wheels get stuck and the bearings give. I'm getting the PNT 22" Plastic frame!

Nice to see you here. You're a brave man claiming to be a friend of the C/S Monkey, though.TC

P.S.--I've got a big Swiss Army bag for the really long trips. It's not big and square so I sneak it past the luggage nazis and it fits in the overhead. But it won't hold up much longer. Looks like a PNS 26'er is in my future.

Also, having a "CREW" tag on your bag, while dorky, gets you past the luggage nazis most times.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! I been bad again!:nuts:

26incher for me.

I'm not packing for combat, i'm packing for comfort.

22" PNT for me

I'm with FracCapt and UkiPilot. I've had a PNT (Luggageworks) 22" metal frame for a couple of years now. I pack for an 8 day tour without any problem, but FracCapt is right - ya gotta roll stuff. I never had much luck with the "Space Bags" personally - I use the Eagle Creek packs for my uniform shirts - but whatever floats your boat.

Great bag; takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. Only complaint I have is about the foam handle: it doesn't hold up well to heavy use. I resorted to wrapping mine with duct tape. Other than that, no troubles.

I have the luggage works 22" executive. It replaces some of the heavier metal parts with PVC, making it a little lighter with the same size. I have been carrying it for 4+ years and it is holding up great. You just have to find something that works for you. It's an ever evolving process!

Like my dad used to say.....if you can't fix it with duct tape, f#ck it - it's broke!!

Quack!
