I have a lot of experience with the limbo. I would say don't get it. My (3) large 30 inchers all have had their frames distorted multiple times. It's a pain filing a claim with the carrier then getting rimowa to repair. I'm so fed up with them that I ebay'd my limbo carryons and replaced them with salsa deluxes. Also - after 1 flight I gurantee your limbo will no longer be "waterproof". The frame bends as soon as you hit around 40lbs (lift by the handle, you will see what I mean).

All 3 of my large limbos are about a year old and have been on less than 5 trips.

My next large piece will be a zippered salsa or different brand if can find something as awesome looking.

All that being said, rimowa service has been excellent- just think it is ridiculous I have to get these bags serviced every second flight.
