Love how versatile and durable this wheeled backpack is. I have been buying this model for years for work and everyday use. I hope High Sierra makes it in perpetuity!
Great design. I love how the back panel folds down and covers the wheels to protect your clothes when using it as a backpack.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for Travel

I have used this bag all over the UK and Ireland with no issue. It's easy to wheel around and to quickly convert to a backpack. It's fit as a carry on for Iceland Air and some Domestic US airlines as well without issue(though technically it's just a tad too large for some so be careful here). It stands upright with no problem and handles seem sturdy. It was fine in light rain and has a good amount of space for a week-10 days worth of clothes. The biggest downside is that it opens from the top, not completely like a suitcase. This makes it more important to stay organized when packing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:No
Three trips to Europe, one to the Bahamas and two years of college and this backpack is still going strong. No rips or breakage of zippers, stitching coming loose, etc. The only issue has been a squeaky wheel which responded promptly to some dry lubricant. It could be a tad lighter, perhaps, but that might come at the expense of its nearly bulletproof durability.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Large Capacity / Good Size
This thing is huge! Lots of room in this one. It also glides easy. I love the zip up pocket to tuck away the handle in. I also love the 2 side pockets. They are big enough for a large water bottle. Well done and a beautiful color.
I've had this backpack for less than two months and already, the wheels are falling off! The pack itself has room for my computer, notepads and a few lightweight items like a t-shirt or a small bottle of water. The wheels however make having this "wheeled" backpack obsolete. I am a commuter and was looking for something that I didn't have to carry on my back and found this. I don't over pack or put in large, heavy items that may be too heavy for the backpack. I expect it to last longer than a month and a half! I will not be ordering anything from this company again!

Hi Cyndy, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your troubles with your High Sierra Powerglide Wheeled Backpack. Please contact one of our agents at 1-800-482-4391 or samsonite@cybercrs.net with your shop.highsierra.com order number and we will be happy to arrange a replacement.
The material used is SO THIN that it will tear easily. How can the designer team be allowed to produce such a fragile backpack, I have to reinforce some parts for better protection. High Sierra should recall the backpack.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
