Honestly, if youre going through a bag a year go with something with a lifetime warranty like Briggs and Riley. Had my baseline for 11 years, over 2M miles, 1000s of flights. Had the handle break after 10 years. Dropped it off at the BR repair facility, had it back 5 hours later, new handle, new wheels, etc. They repaired more than I asked and it was all free and hassle free. Never buy another bag again.
