<p>Good wheels are a must. I liked the idea of a large wheeled duffle, but the one I bought was canvas/floppy and tipped. Also it became a pain at the destination - more pockets would have helped. It was a bit of a relief when it tore, and I went back to normal suitcase. </p>
<p>I do recommend shopping in person. Kohl’s often has good sales and/or coupons. </p>
<p>One of my luggage shopping complaints is that the ultimate models with great wheels and brand name are too expensive. But the “sets of five” (much less expensive) seem too cheaply made.</p>
