[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travelpro is good and used to be much better back in the 90s. However, it is still better than most. You will generally get better quality travelpro more reminiscent of the higher quality they used to have if you buy the ones made for flight attendants that are often not sold through normal retailers (e.g., https://www.flightattendantshop.com/travelpro-flightcrew5-22-expandable-pilot-rollaboard/)

It does seem like a quality product, but that adds a lot of weight. It's over 10 pounds. Their maxlite roller is just over 5 pounds.[/quote]

That's probably one reason the quality has gotten lower over time - using lighter materials. It's all about trade-offs, I guess[/quote]

Yes and they do have a range of products at different price points, to their credit.  The Maxlite line is I think aimed at less frequent travelers who just need a basic bag and will value the lightness and are less concerned with long run durability if they are using it on a couple trips a year.

We have a pretty heavy old school Costco Kirkland brand roller that is still going strong after like 12 years.  [/quote]
