Customer Reviews for High Sierra - Fairlead Collection 28" Expandable Wheeled Duffel Bag - True Navy/Graphite Blue

Excellent quality; however, very disappointed that it is one inch less in width (measuring the bottom - length and width). It will be too small for me now, but my husband will be able to use it. Please bring back your previous dimensions. Also the front pocket on the top is very, very small compare to previously.

I've had mine for 15+ years and it still works great. I love the 2 separated areas so you can put shoes and bigger items down below. These are just amazing durable bags and excellent prices!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I LOVE High Sierra drop bottom rolling duffels! We travel a lot and have many in different sizes. We have never been disappointed! They are reasonably priced, very sturdy and with the two compartments and zipper pouch, perfect for organizing!

Disappointing

We bought this bag to replace a High Sierra bag the airline destroyed. It is roomy with well placed compartments, but a couple fatal flaws. Who designed this? The base is so narrow it doesn't "travel" well...i.e., it is constantly twisting, tipping, losing its center off its wheels as I walk because the base is too narrow! It is already too large to be a carryon so I'm shocked this wasn't discovered during product testing and the base made an inch or two wider. Also the velcro on the hand straps is minimal... every time I fly i work to line it up perfectly with hopes to secure it and every time it comes through baggage claim unclasped leaving it vulnerable to get hung up on something. Seems so easy for High Sierra designers to fix these issues, please do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wish it was as wide as the older model. Other than that like the multiple compartments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had the old version of this and it served me very well for almost 10 years with a great deal of travel. I loved that suitcase and was so sad when it finally gave out. This new bag is very similar but is not quite as wide which will make it more tippy when pulling but it is still it the basic design. I do wish it had the backpack straps like the old model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We had an older style of this bag for at least ten years and used it a TON. Eventually the seams started to show some wear so we ordered this replacement because it’s our favorite bag. It came faster than I expected, was well packaged, and I’m very happy with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The design of a zippered lower half for clothing items and upper duffel half (with extra zippered compartment) is awesome. It makes it easy to organize your items by type with folded clothes on the bottom (with zippered access) and shoes, recreational and bulky items in the duffel top. The small zippered compartment works well for storing jacket, cap, etc. While you can't take this with you onto the plane, it is perfect for check-in on an in-between trip, where you need extra clothing, etc that exceeds capacity of a smaller bag. The wheels are solid roller blade style. I've had a similar High Sierra bag for 15 years that only recently developed a wheel problem. Had no problems with the heavy duty zippers. The inner material and handle seem to be built to similar standards. Wish it had side handles in addition to top and end handle, but that's only suggestion. I just love the design! I can pack snorkel, fins, shoes in the duffel and know I can easily get to all my folded clothes in lower compartment without disturbing the upper area.
I would recommend this to a friend!
