I really haven't found any luggage that will outlast the abuse heaped on it by the airlines. My rolling garment bag (TravelPro) has lasted about 3 years but finally broke a few trips ago - it's still usuable but has a spring popping out the side. (At least its easy to identify when I pick up my luggage.) I'm beginning to wonder if the best investment isn't a rather inexpensive, no-name brand. Use it for a year or two and then move on to something else.
