So, my trusty 22' Travelpro Crew4 has reached the end of the road after about 750,000 miles and the best part of 10 years use.
So, I need to replace it with a similar bag (22', wheeled, expandable, pull-out handle), but the equivalent Travelpro animal today, the Crew7, is inferior in both quality and features.
The Crew4 came from an era when there wasn't that much difference between the consumer and professional (i.e. airline crew) ranges, but that gulf widened significantly with the later versions of the consumer model.
Looking for advice from the gathered masses here about what my next bag might be.
Needs to:
a) not be a four-wheeled 'spinner', but a 2-wheel rollalong
b) be a 20-22' expandable
c) not have a hard-shell, but durable, fabric finish, hard sided
d) have a good selection of pockets
e) a clip-on 'piggyback'/j-hook
Cheers!
Mike
