I’ve been traveling with this Osprey roller bag for 11 years. Bought it in 2014 when I was flying a couple times a month for work. It’s probably topped 700,000 miles of handling, thrown into planes, trains, buses, cars and at least one river raft four a five-day float. While it’s a bit scruffy looking (stains, etc.) the only damage is some wear on the bottom.
In a few weeks, Craig and I will be doing three weeks in Europe and I pondered getting a new bag for that trip. I checked out a slightly larger but comparable roller bag in the Osprey family with additional bells and whistles (back-pack straps, for example). I’ve been pondering it.
This morning, however, packing for a few days in Colorado, I noticed how I have a great system for packing this bag, whether the destination is Paris or Anchorage or London or Athens or Albuquerque or Philadelphia. I’ve stuffed it so full I thought I might split the seams, but the fabric and the sewing have really held up. Also, there are very few bags of this color, and it rarely gets confused with anyone else’s luggage.
It’s not broken, so I won’t replace it.
