Yea I'm 22 and in the Navy also through a scholarship program so I'm plenty fit. I'll be taking a 10 day trip. Just got it in the mail today and was checking out and I have to say that I am pretty pleased with it. I'll have to pack some stuff and give it a go but I'm feeling pretty satisfied by the quality of the luggage after messing with it a little bit.

I decided not to go rolling because of their size and weight. Rolling bags fail on stairs in my opinion and are always heavier to carry. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on folders because as the poster said above they are for trips where I'm going to be unpacking and packing frequently. I generally will just be on a leisure vacation trip. In the future I may find the need for them but for now I'll be hanging everything up. :-).

Thanks for all the great advice. I feel like I'm going to be happy with this purchase now since I've got the bag. Lifetime warranty is a big draw too.

My other choice would have been an MEI Voyageur but that's a very small company and even though they have a lifetime warranty I worried that the company might not be around for that long. RedOxx seems like it will be around for a very long time so I went with them.
