Rockland 16" Upright Wheeled Underseater

I just got back from 2 weeks all over UK. Planes, trains, busses and tubes. I was thinking about this old girl, and wondered if I ever wrote a review. I had not. This carryon has NEVER let me down. Its red in some light and kinda pink in others. This has been in steady use since April of 2022. The wheels still spin great, and given the use (all over Europe with old Roman roads, concrete, all types of roads and drug it through actual dirt), the wheels are still in pretty great shape. The zippers are all smooth and still perfect, not even a slight kink in the nylon. (I don't over fill, but its certainly snug). The inside is still pristine, no rips, tears, loose threads or even stretched pockets. I use this for the needed items like meds, a clothing change and basic hygiene stuff like the quart zip. Speaking of the quart zip, the second zip compartment is perfect for that, while the first is great for passport and such. Every time I have used this baby, I pack clothing flat to the back, I buy ceramic coffee cups (that's my fav souvenir) keep them wrapped up, put scarves or something between and on top, and yes, my old clunker laptop on top of all that. I have never broken a cup, or the laptop. The handle still slides perfectly. The strap used to stack on to another suitcase handle is in perfect condition, no rips or even loose threads. Several times, dozens in fact, I have grabbed the handle to this case, when stacked, causing the below case (or both) to crash and myself to look foolish. But this case holds up great. I take it on all trips as I am so accustomed to packing it, I know what it will hold, and where I put everything. Now, I will say this. The outside lower front, needs a light wash. I am not sure how to do that. Probably wipe with damp cloth, but if it wouldn't hurt it, a light steam clean is in order in a few spots. Given she was been to probably 12 countries or more, dozens of flights, dragged through cobbled streets older than Christ, and countless overnights, weekends and held all near and dear, if a light wash is all she needs, I call that amazing value. I am so glad I bought this tough little girl. I don't see it wearing out for many years to come. While the wheels are still good after all that, I can see they might need a refresh and they are easily replaced. But, for now, they will go another 4 or 5 years. If I wash it, I will spray a good water proofer, but really, probably I am the only one who sees the slight dirt spot. This case is worth 3 times what I paid, (which rhymes with sporty). This is a case that will easily last another 10 years, and if someone bought it new, it would last them 10 years with rough use, like me, or much much longer with light use. I have beaten it half to death and it won't wear out. Croatia twice, including Dubrovnik (google the steps) Split, Zagreb, Prague, Amsterdam, Montenegro, Dublin, Galway, Wales, London many times, Liverpool, Scotland, Edinburgh to the highlands, Bahamas several times, all over Mexico and countless domestic flights and weekend getaways, and so many cruises. If this died, I would repair it, or have it repaired if possible. As a very last resort, I would replace it. Its just been with me for so long and to so many places, and shared so many experiences, I really feel like its a friend. Best buy ever. And still looks really good. I will try to add pics
