Review: First class quality for a great price - Really great quality for a great price- considering it’s an ‘desertcart Basics’ product - the quality and features are anything but basic… really well made, top quality materials - I ordered a Samsonite at the same time and sent that back as it was inferior to this (so I’ve ordered another one - the true test will come when I travel with it, but I looks like it will be very long lasting Review: Rubbed through to plastic and holes after 4 trips - I have to say i am seriously disappointed with this bag. It was bought as a second replacement to my 15 year old North Face duffel, first replacement being North Faces own updated offering, that was also a serious drop in quality, lasted a year. I cant fault the desertcart supplier here, very prompt and professional but the bag is a big let down. Ok so 4 months and 4 trips in. first off I knew in advance that it had less pouches and was willing to live with it. I now realise that I use pouches more than i knew, but hey, that's on me. Ok to my main issue, "Quality", where do I start. As soon as it came out of the box I noticed the Zippers, literally on top of the lip of the plastic base including 90 degree corners, come on that will never last, but again, its Samsonite, top rated, expensive, they must know more than me. Unfortunately no, it is now showing signs of strain at the 90 degree zipper corners. Next, base material in line with wheels, showing rubbing marks, on their own i could live with, after all its a working bag. the fabric piping around the bag, worn though to whit plastic tubes underneath. Lastly and ultimately holes. 4 trips in and 2 holes. both on bottom (bottom as in bottom when standing upright). First hole on canvas of bag. Just a plain old hole, on a 4 month bag. Not good. Second hole is a tear that is causing me to scrap the bag. It is between the metal zipper and where attaching to canvas bag material. A tear has appeared and by its position it will only get worse. Taking my chances that it will make it home then time to pull old battered and bruised old faithful North Face from cupboard until I find a worthy successor. Any tips on a good replacement would be appreciated.
