Wow, I was surprised to see this thread pop up after so long.

I bought the 29" salsa in red and really like it. True to their claim, it seems to be nearly indestructable. The only issue is that it doesn't expand - which I knew before buying it, but sometimes I really miss those couple of extra inches of space.

It's only about 7 pounds empty, so weight should not be a problem, but of course that depends on how much and what you jam into it. I've been over 50 a couple of times when I've had bottles of wine and/or olive oil that added weight.
