High Sierra Export Wheeled Travel Pack

My husband and I each got different bags for a 9 month around the world trip in 2004-2005. He got this bag. Today, there are no tears, looks good, wheels work, zippers are great, back pack has hidden compartments and the straps have not torn at the seams. Most importantly, this pack can be carried on any flight as long as you don't go over their weight limits. If you want more space, they have larger ones, but you won't be able to carry them on. Carrying on is important to my husband and I.

I got a Victorinox for that same trip. Mine cost twice as much. I was forced to check it a number of times because the wheels stuck out and it wouldn't squish into their carry-on measuring thing, despite it saying on the tag that it was airline approved when I purchased it. The zippers broke and the backpack handles tore off.

After that trip, I got a High Sierra bag too. My husband's original bag has been to over 40 countries and many domestic trips since 2004-2005 and it's still totally fine. We purchased one of these for a friend of ours going on a round-the-world honeymoon recently.

I took this thing through Europe with me, and I have to admit that it was convenient. My sole reason for purchasing this travel pack was to have the option to throw it on my shoulders to free up my hands for other things. To that extent, this was a great success. But be warned...the straps on this bag leave much to be desired. They were uncomfortable and literally dug into my skin. A typical backpack has more cushion in the straps, which was very surprising considering the capacity of this pack.

Outside of the discomfort, this is a very good bag. It seems to be built well, has plenty of room, and makes traveling a little more convenient.

The travel pack arrived promptly and apparently in good condition. My problem is that is had a very strong odor. I can't describe it other than it's maybe a chemical smell that is emitted from the plastic? I am very sensistive to odors and couldn't imagine all my son's clothes smelling like this bag while we were on vacation. I can't say if this was an anomaly. I do know that I once bought a cheap set of luggage from a department store and one of the 5 pieces ended up having the same odor. I thought it was because I had left something wet in it and tried everything to get the odor out, dousing it with Febreze, to no avail. Since my experience showed that the odor would not eventually dissipate, I thought it best to return the travel pack.

Got this for high school student with lots of heavy books. It is sturdy and all the features ( handle, zippers, wheels ) are well made. The school backpacks usually only ( sometimes barely ) last a year but this one should last longer. The Pack would also be great as carry on luggage and would fit in an overhead compartment, but not under a seat.
