Tumi Luggage Napa Leather Wheel A Way 22" Packing Case with Suiter

Pros: Excellent design, construction, attention to detail.
Cons: Expensive, slightly bulky

Greetings again my fellow Epinionators,

The Search....

Several years ago, I began my quest for the perfect piece of carry-on luggage. I didn't know much since all of my previous stuff was either the large check-in type or...

Pros: practical, pleasure to look at and features are well thought out!
Cons: somewhat expensive BUT for the quality, it is worth it!

Tumi is the best there is ‘Too Me’! There are some things in life that we seem to have at least one of it and never throw away. Luggage would fall into that category. I have had numerous duffels, backpacks, waist thingy’s and whatever there is to ...

Pros: Thoughtfully laid out, extremely durable, snob appeal.
Cons: Extremely expensive, unjustifiable expense for those who travel infrequently.

Introduction The last time I purchased a Wheel-A-Way case, there were a few on-line vendors selling travel gear and some provided reviews on their site, but there was no single resource on the net such as epinions.com. In this review, I will shar ...

Pros: Comparable quality to other high end bags
Cons: VERY limited service with high repair costs; no shipping either way; useless warranty

Tumi’s support has gone from excellent to non-existent in no time flat. I sent a bag to Tumi with three problems: a defective zipper (picture a Tumi bag duct tapped together going through security and the terminal), a plastic part that chipped off ...

Pros: Durable, professional/conservative looking (you won't look like a pretentious label vvh0re), easy to zip up.
Cons: expensive, limited distribution, and never discounted unless the model is discontinued.

I've had this 22" Tumi Carry-on wheeled bag for about 6-7 years now. It was recommended to me by associates that travelled regularly for work. After countless plane rides, road trips, and weekend getaways, this little bag still works and looks like ...

Pros: Rugged, well thought out designs. Truly lifetime luggage for most travellers
Cons: High priced, generally not available at discount. Snooty retail stores

I have two pieces of Tumi luggage - a 22" Wheel-A-Way for week long trips and a tri-fold suiter for overnight trips. Both bags have held up well for over 10 years and several hundred business trips around the world. They have their share of wear and tear but are fundamentally sound. That being said I have switched to other brands because Tumi's prices are just too high and there are comparable luggage pieces with discounted prices (Like TravelPro)/ Tumi's stores and products seem to want to cater to the "Louis Vuitton" folks and not real business traveller who appreciate the ruggedness and features of Tumi luggage. Also their newer versions of the Wheel-a-way have less room since the handle mechanism has gotten larger over time.
