I ordered two bags to take a trip flying (3 plane changes) then sailing for 7 days. The bags held up great and were easier to stow on the boat than traditional luggage. The bottom compartment kept my clothes as straight as any other luggage. I would buy more.

This bag didn't travel well, April 27, 2010
I was so excited when I got this bag in time for a recent ski trip to Europe. I like the size of the bag and the different compartments it has. It was great for two people to pack ski boots, helmets and clothes. Unfortunately upon my return, my bag had lost a zipper and I found a big hole on one of the side compartments. I don't know what caused the big hole on the bag. I know baggage handlers can be super rough with luggage, but I didn't expect the damage on the bag upon my first use. Maybe I got a bad bag but I expected this bag to survive its first use.

Very convenient for all types of travel, September 9, 2010
This review is from: High Sierra 36-Inch Drop-Bottom Wheeled Duffel (Apparel)
I own three of these bags now (two 36" and one 30"), and I just returned from a long trip where I used them all. I do a fair amount of camping in Alaska, where I often need to take a commercial airline flight, transfer to a small bush or float plane, and finally carry my gear for up to a couple of miles and over wet or rocky terrain. Backpacks, wheeled luggage, and duffle bags all have their limitations for one or more of these modes of travel, and after a miscalculation on what to carry last year I started a search for a bag that would combine the best features of all three. This is it! It's the maximum size allowable as standard checked luggage, and it rolls very easy on flat ground. It opens flat like a duffle bag, and flips open to reveal another large compartment below. It also has a pocket that contains two shoulder straps that are adequate for occassional use. I wouldn't choose this bag for a 40 mile hike, but for routine and non-so-routine travel, it's great. It's fine as a suitcase, and better than a wheeled duffle. It's about the size of a large backpack, so my tent, sleeping bag, inflatable mattress, and clothes can usually fit in one bag. Then I use another for other camp gear. The fabric is very durable, and after several arduous field trips I haven't had any trouble with the zippers. The smooth interior liner in the side pockets isn't bulletproof, but seems about typical for suitcase liners. If I needed another bag right now, this is what I'd buy again.
