We had a traumatic Travelpro failure (probably the fault of baggage handlers, and overstuffing on our part). Waiting for it at the carousel, here comes our bag wrapped in duct tape with clothes hanging out of it. Obviously it exploded somewhere along the line, and they made a valiant effort to put it all back together, but it was a fairly new Travel Pro and I'm not sure we can go back.
