When the luggage actually turned up I was shocked at the quality of it. It's done around 50 or so flights now, been thrown around a fair bit and still looks brand new. Now having looked at the prices of the luggage online, it's fair to say it's not something you just go out and buy if you don't use it every week but if you feel it's worth the investment then I would recommend it in a heartbeat.
Interesting. I used to swear by Tumi and had a full set of Tumi luggage. However, mine have always worn out/died (except for my small "man bag"). I now go for Tripp and replace as necessary and still save money. Are Tumi more likely to be stolen/broken into?
