New luggage - how often?
[Default] Thus spake "Babie" :
Curious how often you all buy new sets of luggage? Like Jack, never sets, just pieces. When I first started cruising, I borrowed luggage. For my second cruise I bought a set of American Tourist (or whatever) I had that for about a year and a half. I then bought a new set while I was in Cozumel in Feb 2007. Between the full sets I'd also bought a few smaller carry on rolling cases. But nothing ever seemed to last. I just bought a 3 piece set of Heys hard sided luggage. It has a warranty (either 5 or 7 years can't remember) and although I got a good deal (for the brand) I spent more for this set than I've spent on all of my previous luggage combined. Of course I also opted for the pink camouflage style LOL. I chose Heys because of the reviews I'd read online, the style and the price. Hard sided luggage was a must this time. And these are considered some of the lightest weight luggage around (the 30" only weighs 10.3lbs) At some point did you buy a better quality brand of luggage or do you stick with the lower priced stuff? Currently buying light weight. Quality starts to get important at that point. HOWEVER, I've designed some bag that I'll be building over Christmas break if I get a few other things together. Carbon fiber. The big bag, approx 26 inch, will weigh in at around 8 pounds. And cost about $400 in materials, plus the cost of the auoclave (which I have to build). But if I actually wanted to make and sell them, I could get the material for about 30% less in volume. LES! |
