The only reliable piece of luggage we've ever owned is this Samsonite suitcase my wife has had for 30 years. The material is some sort of indestructible nylon and the zippers have never shown any signs of breaking. But it has tiny crappy wheels and falls over all the time - and it is a bit small.
We only travel 3-4 times a year, but I want something rugged and convenient. In looking over the offerings at Amazon, these two appear to be a good combination of high-quality and great price.
Thoughts? Is that 29" bag too big for practical use? In other words, is it likely to be over-weight when filled? Should we opt for a 24-25" bag instead?
