Greater than one weekI like many parts of this bag however it is useless to me as there is no way for me to comfortably walk without it repeatedly hitting my heel as I pull it behind me. I have tried to adjust my stride length, have tried to lower my shoulder to allow more space behind, without success. It might be perfect for shorter people but if you over 510, I would not purchase. Traveling is challenging enough and there are plenty of angry people in the airport. I chose not to have a bag that makes me one of them. I am hoping there is some way for me to return it.

Greater than one weekThis is a top notch folding bag that has great features and seems quite durable. I have an old Skyway bag and this is better in a number of ways. The folding form is great for holding a couple of suits and a weeks worth of dress shirts. The hanger grip is a gator-tooth design that easily latches down on metal hangers once youre done loading the suitcase. All internal pockets are either made of a clear, soft (but durable) plastic or are an open-mesh design. You can always see into each pocket and dont have to guess where your belt is versus your dress socks. I suppose the plastic will be the part that somehow fails in 10 years since it will somehow age/crack. But when its brand new, its great! The exterior appears to be very durable. The handle has a soft, grippy feel which is great when youre lugging this around. The extending arm has multiple stop-clicks so you can have it long enough for a child or for a 6+ foot adult (no stooping!!!). Even though the extending arm trigger is on the top, it is inset into the handle so you can push the suitcase and dont have to worry about retracting the arm. That is a heck of an improvement over my skyway which can only be pulled because you depress the button when you try to push it in front of you and the arm retracts. The zippers are great in a couple of ways. First, the actual zipper pulls are big and appear to be quite heavy duty. In my experience, zipper pulls are the first thing to fail on a piece of luggage as it gets abused through an airport system. So you want those to be strong. Next, the zipper teeth are large/oversized. This means they unzip/zip very easily AND they are going to be really tough to destroy. The rubberized wheels are nice because they dont skip around from side to side. Theyre all the way to the edges which helps avoid any imbalance where the suitcase starts to rock from side to side. The wheels do not retract but there are feet on the bottom of the suitcase so you can set it up right and it stays in place. There is a hard plastic skid that makes going up stairs a breeze- just drag it behind you and the skid takes all the abuse. This suitcase features a built-in TSA-approved combo-lock. You can easily set the code to any 3-digit value of your choosing. It works by seizing onto the two zipper pulls and holding them in place so that the suitcase cant be opened. What would I change? The grip handle on the underside of the suitcase doesnt have finger slots big enough for the hands of a large man such as myself. It needs an extra quarter of an inch. I can squeeze my fingers in but they dont just slide in easily like they should. Maybe this will loosen up over time. Id probably buy this in another color (if its even sold that way) just because black suitcases are so hard to differentiate on the pick-up belt at the airport. My Skyway is maroon and that is still tasteful for business travel but much easier to spot when it comes down the chute. The suitcase is about an inch thicker than I expected. It is probably 2 inches thicker than my Skyway folding case. Still, it should be fine at the airport.

Greater than one weekThis ws a recent purchase, so I have only used this product one time. It is too early for me to comment on the sturdiness or durability. I will say that the product was a little heavier than I would have liked. The weight may be a product of the quality, but only time and usage will determine. I wish it had 4 wheels, but I knew that it only had 2 before I ordered it. Friend who were with me on my recent trip had 4 wheel units qa do I was a little jealous.

> 3 dayComfortably fits multiple suits for people over 63 (without folding or crumpling them!), with plenty of room for additional slacks and shirts. 50 inches long by 24 inches of usable room unzipped on the interior, almost 6 inches of usable depth. Four cubbies for belts/ties, multiple mesh zippered compartments on the flap and a water proof toiletry one. The largest zippered pouch holds 3 pairs of size 14 shoes comfortably(!), 4 pairs if you need to. Still have room leftover for socks, underwear, undershirts. If youre a big or tall person that travels even semi frequently and have longer stays, where you need to bring several suits/outfits, you absolutely need this garmet bag. I have *never* had a travel garmet bag that truly *works* in every way for me. Build quality is quite sturdy, even the travel handle is a better grade aluminum that my old Samsonite. It may be a larger dollar investment for luggage, but you will absolutely love it.
