agreed. that is just too heavy. i have no trouble lifting this, but my wife travels alone a lot and there is no way she is going to shoulder press 40-50 lbs over her head. i know the limit is 40 lbs on most domestic carriers, but i have never seen them weigh someone's carry on. im sure it does happen though. it's just a matter of being able to deal with the weight that is a problem.
i bought the large 26" costco suitcase for a recent trip. i didnt realize it weighed 15 lbs!! I was right at 49 lbs and the heaviest item in the suitcase was my suit. this one is going back.
trim the fat costco.
