Having said that it served me great for years and has been through a lot. I got a new one on black Friday since I couldn't find anything to beat the capacity/weight ratio of the Maxlite.
This one's supposed to be premium but also heavier, not sure it's worth it.
Where are you traveling to and for how long? Big difference in what you can fit if packing for summer or frigid winter temps. I recently spent 12 days in Florida with my family in December. We had highs in the 80s and lows in the 40s. 40 degrees in Florida is difficult to pack for due to the humidity. We literally had to pack daytime summer outfits, swimming clothing, and evening layers, winter clothes, and jackets. For 12 days. That is a lot to pack. The winter clothing is very bulky. Zero chance fitting that all in a carry-on. Not to mention if the kids want to bring back some souvenirs.
Are you traveling for work? I always prefer to just travel with my carry-on. Unfortunately, in my industry, my required PPE (hardhat, hi-vis protective jacket, steel toe boots, etc.) takes up 75% of my carryon bag if I am traveling to a jobsite. If it is just a few days, I make it work. If there is a stop at the corporate HQ for meetings, I need to also bring slacks, wingtips, etc. No way to fit all of that, plus actual clothing for a few days in a carry-on and backpack.
Every situation is different. Sure, a lot of people overpack and bring home clothing they didn't wear. Live and let live. There is a market for bags this big, it isn't for you and that is ok. That doesn't mean this bag isn't useful for plenty of people.

I am not questioning carry on vs checked luggage. All I am saying is that if you need to check in a luggage, you should never need more than a 25-26" luggage. 1 day to 3 weeks, sun or snow, doesn't matter. The bigger the luggage the more you will stuff it unnecessarily. I travel a lot, United Premier 1k. Get a 25" inch expandable. It's not just about checking it in. What about when you get there? What if the best way to your hotel is train or metro? Try lugging that 29" inch around. You have a few of them and now you have to call an Uber XL.
That said, I have a legit use case for a large check in bag. My wife and I periodically use domestic discount carriers and would rather pay ~$30 for 1 large bag and share it rather than 2 carry ons for ~$20/ea.
Different tools for different jobs - all without judgement. They're just travel bags.
- Standard Price: ~$485
- Your Deal: $250
- Savings: ~$235
Why this matters: The warranty you are losing is essentially an insurance policy against airline damage. By saving $235 upfront, it's kind of like self-insuring:Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
