PNS

I just bought a PNS bag, had a travelPro Crew 4, lasted 1 year. Broken handle, salt from ramp got into bearings of wheels, really noisey. I could have taken better care of it, lets she how much abuse the PNS can take.

I'd get a PNS. You see a lot more old PNS bags in the lounge than old Travelpro's. After 4 years of excessive abuse, I just sent my PNS bag in to get the zippers fixed. That's the only thing wrong with it. They have good product support.

I'm going on 4 years with my PNT and I've had the same experience. It has a few minor scrapes, but it easily outlasts the Travelpro (about a year is the best I could get out of one).

Travel "Pro?"

I haven't been overly impressed with the Travelpro products. I bought the PNT bag/duffel combo and found PNT products to be very good. Travelpros will last about a year... seems to me it is not the product for the "pro." Rather, it is better suited for the traveller who flys once every other year. Spend the extra $$ and get PNT products.

I have to chime in on the topic of rollerbags...


I have the prettyneatstuff bag and I generally like it. However, I have two main gripes. First, the bag is just too darn heavy. Second, the zippers (my bag has 8 of them) tend to rip off or break; This has to do with the way the bags are stored under the second jumpseat. What's the alternative? I have flown with several guys who have the bag from Costco that costs $89. This is a darned good bag and it's very light. The bonus is, it comes with a lifetime warranty -- just take it to costco for a replacement when it breaks. When my purty neat bag croaks, I'm not sending it in for the $200 overhaul, I'm getting the one at Costco.

Been using the Costco bag for over a year now and it still looks and works as good as new. I'd recommend it.

Hey rudder
Since you have an apparent list to starboard (im not navy). Did you wear out the left wheel quicker than the right?

Cheers

A shelf check at costco always turns out to be fun. Booze and free food!
