Birmingham Ballistic Nylon Expandable Rollaboard Luggage, Red, Carry-on 21-Inch

We ordered 2 of these for our honeymoon. They made it from Indiana, to Seattle, to San Francisco without any wear and tear on them what so ever. Im sure during handling at the airport they were thrown, kicked, and beaten every stop of the way and managed to come out perfectly unscathed at the end. We plan on buying more of these for Christmas gifts moving forward. The inside of the suitcases are very well designed and thought out. In my pictures you can see several zippered pouches for storing items you dont want shifting around. These are soft sided, not hard plastic outsides FYI!

Made it through 2 two week tour of Europe and still looks great. Convenient, functional. Happy with purchase and I looked at a lot of different options. Pleased with choice. Would buy again.

So far, so good, but I withheld one star for the moment only because I only took it on one European trip so I dont have a lot of data on its durability yet. Im not too knowledgeable on luggage, but what I found on the internet said that nylon is preferable to polyester for soft sided luggage. Nylon may scuff, but is much less likely to rip than polyester. The other nylon bags of this size I could find seemed to be in the $200 price range. This one was nylon in the $100 price range, the price at which the competition is polyester bags. It also said to look at the denier rating (thickness) of the material, suggesting you look for one in the 500 – 2,000 denier range. This bag is 1680 denier, which is pretty thick on that scale.

This bag is great quality and a perfect size. It rolls really well and I had no problems with it falling over, even with a book bag and coat resting on top of it. Ive only flown United with it and it fit perfectly in the overhead. On a smaller regional flight I had to put it under the plane, but so did anyone with a roller bag. I also checked it once and it came through completely unscathed. The fabric is incredibly resilient and it didnt show a speck of dirt. The orange accents made it readily identifiable but keep it understated. I had an interview on top of some sight seeing with hiking and was able to fit all of my toiletries, dress clothes and boots with room to spare. I LOVE the interior organization and pockets. I agree with other reviewers that the front bottom pocket opening is a bit small. It fits a book or kindle well, though. If you want a reasonably priced, durable, and useful bag, I highly recommend this one.

It seems okay so far. All I needed it for was light traveling that I am doing around the city; so we will see how the product holds up over time. For the price it is definitely worth it.

This is a very good quality suitcase. It appears to be rugged in construction with good zippers. Its nicely designed & attractive. I would highly recommend this suitcase.

Excellent

This bag replaced the identical bag I purchased 10 months ago (and loved) due to airline damage to the original bag. This bag is not as well made. The front pockets are a totally different arrangement than pictured, and the orange trim is not on the top front as shown, which helped distinguish the bag at baggage claim. Also, the expansion zipper only goes halfway around the bag (unlike the previous bag), leaving part of the expansion portion sticking up. I still like the bag, but am disappointed in the design change and to receive a different bag than pictured.

It is sturdy and already worked well on its first trip.

Good luggage, great value!
