I agree. When I was shopping for my B&R I picked it because it is so well built, but the warranty really seals the deal for me. It is the basically the company telling me they have full confidence in their product.

Now, by all indication this Zuca bag is build tough as nails and is durable as hell. On top of that, there doesn't seem to be enough design difference between the $300 Pro model and the <$150 Sport line. For the extra they are charging their biz travellers that they are targeting, I personally feel they should offer a lifetime warranty if this is the market they are shooting for.

I just spend the last hour online doing research after finding this thread because this bag would be perfect for me. The size is perfect when I don't want to deal with my 22" Victorinox rollaboard and the packing shelfs are just like the packing cubes I use in my Victorinox. The 1 year warranty, on the other hand, gives me pause. It makes me wonder what the company is afraid of. Heck, most of the time the warranty is for peace of mind.
