Wingman Luggage Vs Luggage Works

[billjohnson321]

Anyone Used Both And Have An Opinion As To Which Might Be Better.i Am Looking For A 26 Inch Rolling Bag And These Are The 2 I Have Narrowed My Search Down To.

I have had both and I would go with the Luggage Works by far. I have the 26 or 27 inch luggage works stealth bag. I think the the stealth is the steal frame vs the hardened plastic. My old luggage works bag was the same model but the smaller version. Lasted 5+ years and still works great, I just needed a bigger bag. As for the wingman, I tried it a while back and returned it. Not the same quality or ease of use as the luggage works bag. I would go with LW, you cant go wrong.

Happy Easter, buddy. How's life on the blue side? My other buddies who work for JB have been giving me a hard time for not taking you up on your offer...

I second the LW product, although their warranty isn't as good as the Wingman product. The guy who owns and runs Wingman came to our indoc class at airTran to sell some bags, great guy, great product, but I'm just not sure about the handle assembly.

Things are good. Life in FL is much easier not having to commute. CA class was delayed a bit...again...but other than that great. I pulled my back out cleaning the back of the plane last week...(just joking, I am sure that will start a hijack thread in a day or so.) 1 more month to go until I am a free man again (divorce thing) and can finally move on. Its only cost me a little $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$/

Ok, thats about it. Ill talk to you later..

I had a Luggage Works bag for years. Yes, it was great. Then, I came to Fedex, and didn't need to be hauling an extra 15 pounds up the stairs (yes, the bag is very heavy.) For my domestic trips, I use a 22 inch expandable I got at Costco. I got a 26 inch expandable Travelpro that works great for the international stuff.

Even lifting the bag in and out of your car, into and out of vans, up a lfight of stairs here and there.... it all adds up on your back and shoulders over the years. I'd go lighter....
