We invested in a pair of Eagle Creek 30-inch wheeled duffles maybe 10 years ago. They have been great. The case itself is remarkably lightweight - it really bugs me when the suitcase weighs almost as much as its contents. We’ve definitely benefited from Eagle Creek’s lifetime guarantee. They have repaired any damage, and replaced one unrepairable bag. We travel quite a lot, using these big bags on at least 2-3 long-haul trips per year. Owing to the lifetime guarantee, I don’t expect to be shopping for a bag like this any time soon. But if I were, I’d most definitely favor Eagle Creek again.
