I bought the international sized one in 2012 and it still looks brand new. I am not even remotely exaggerating. It is gorgeous, lightweight, fits every OH space with ease, and drives like a dream. And, it does not say “Tumi” on it. I can’t recommend it more. In fact, I would rank it in my top 5 all time best purchases.

Worth it, even at full price. I also got mine in navy blue, it still looks (and works) great after four years of very heavy use. Super light, rolls great, the expand/collapse function works super well. Also got the international size - really like the shape for packing and have had zero trouble with US airlines (that was my one worry when picking the international size vs domestic, but I figured non-US airlines tend to be stricter on bags, and it has been a non-issue). Like BAH1 said, it fits in every OH… with the exception of some regional jets, but that will be true of almost every bag.

Is there anything more satisfying than the clicking sound and feel when you press the expandable down to compact it?

Love my baseline. Thing is bulletproof, it slid down a massive escalator and is fine.

Compared to what? Using a black garbage bag to carry stuff around? Yes, it is :)

I love mine, got it in blue and get lots of compliments. Lifetime warranty is unbeatable. If you’re not in a rush, they usually have some good sales, think mine was 30% off but during peak COVID they were like 50% off.

I think I got mine during Memorial Day if I remember correctly - but they were having super random ones during Covid

I prefer Rimowa

Great brand too but Different price points

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.

What book have you read that was helpful for your career and/or that you would recommend? Could be a technical book, management, etc. For me, it’s a book I read a few years ago: The Phoenix Project. I never thought I would read and like a novel about DevOps but I recommend it to all my managers.
