I bought this bag at the Hanford, Ca Costco, but returned it a week later. I have the wide body international carry on already, and it's the perfect carry on size for me. As much as I REALLY wanted to keep this bag (for the price and warranty alone), I just really don't need it.
And, it says on the box that it was made FOR Costco. I couldn't find an exact match anywhere either, so started looking at the box. It was made specifically for Costco. I was on the fence about keeping it even though I don't have a need for it (we have 6 B&R bags, I love them), but I have never seen any that were made just for Costco.
Also, they did look very similar to the Kirkland branded bag selling right next to it, and it made me wonder if they were from the same factory, same materials, just very different price.
(I only add this because I looked back and didn't see anyone mention that these were made specifically for Costco, and thought it might be pertinent for others, as it was for me. The last time I bought one of these at Costco, it was just a discontinued style.)

It was a spinner but not a hybrid! It even said Cordura material prominently. Like I said, it was the first time I've seen this model. Interior of the Kirkland bag looked suspicious like the BR bag, had to do a double take. Sorry should've taken a picture (I took the BR bag and went straight to the cash register).
Here's the link though

Does anyone else have any feedback on this? I may still end up picking it up...

Yes it is. It even has the $529 price tag on the 21 and the $6xx tag on the larger one attached to the luggage itself

I’ve checked every Costco I’ve ever been at and never been lucky enough to find it. Now my local Costco has the Kirkland bag on sale and it appears they might be discontinuing so I am concerned I should just buy it. My Tumi is wearing out, ironically most worse in the rubber grip.
