The product was originally designed and sold by a company called eBags before eBags got bought out.

While I was grinding out consulting work and traveling every week for a solid 3 years and then off and on for the rest of the decade, this bag has been outstanding imo. I only had an issue 1 time (an interior rod poked through) and due to their lifetime guarantee (not sure samsonite still offers it); they just sent me a brand new replacement suitcase. I removed the rod (which was nice for shaping the top of the bag, but not required for usage) and gave mine to my Dad and we both still use our bags.

They work so well I bought a few of their larger bags which I use for trips longer than a week or trips where Im schlepping a bunch of snowboarding gear.

Seriously. Their handles and pocketing designs are really well thought out and super convenient imo. They work great and I thought they were a steal of a deal when I got mine 10+ years ago:
