We’ve used High Sierra rolling duffels for travel, mostly ski trips, for over a decade. They are sturdy, economical, and work very for our purposes. This drop-bottom type is our favorite.

Limited to purchase the 28" because he 30" is no longer an option. The 30: was the perfect size in my opinion.

Unfortunately I returned this bag and the smaller 22" one as well. I should have looked at the dimensions more closely but it is a very narrow bag. I thought it would have been like the very loyal and sturdy
High Sierra AT3 26" Drop Bottom which has followed me around the world for hundreds of thousands of miles. Even if the bag was the same, I can see the quality of the material has changed as well.

Good product with some needed protection to zipper

They look great & fit allot inside. But the zipper portion that sometimes comes in contact with the ground that is on the end where the wheels are wears out from rubbing the rolling surfaces it passes over. Very disappointed about this. I had the 34” & 28” drop bottom rolling duffles. There’s no protection for the zipper! It cost too much for shipping to return them so I donated both of them to a local charity organization.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great zippers, water resistant, decent wheels

Sturdy zippers, has 2 spacious compartments, and 2 side zippers. I like the clasps to strap down the bottom section too. I sewed a path onto the front for decoration which was hard, as the material is thick strong! That's a good thing. My only complaint is when my bag was 40lbs, if I rolled over cobblestone or turned a corner at a fast walking pace, the bag would rotate and flip over. I would still choose this bag over any other rolling duffel anyday. I chose this one instead of a 4 spinner wheel hardshell because it's less likely to crack, water resistant, and can compress for storage at home when Im not using it. Oh and I also like the exterior straps to tighten and compress it while transporting.
