4Trade-offs
By J. Clarkson
My husband and I bought two of these, one orange, one blue, for our adoption trip to China just over a year ago. We have since travelled fairly extensively with these bags. They are very roomy, and I love the multiple pockets. I usually stash our raincoats in one of the outside pockets, both to help protect the contents from rain, and for easy access. Smaller exterior pockets are great for travel umbrellas, bathing suits for a last minute swim, etc. The bags are easy to pull, and as long as you pack the bottom well, they stand easily on end. Until the trip from which we just returned, our only complaint was that they are a bit heavy, and because they are so spacious, the always end up over 50 lbs. Fine for car traveling, but no so much for airlines. On this trip, unfortunately, one of the plastic reinforcement rails on the bottom exterior separated from the bag. They attach in 3 places, and it separated in one spot. The divot apparently pulled through the fabric. Most likely reparable, and hasn't impeded use. Just a bummer. But we still love these bags. We don't use any of our other luggage anymore. These bags have taken quite a beating. Whenever we travel, we have to take at least 2 flights. These bags have been from NM to Hawaii, Scotland, and multiple times to New York. They are scuffed and look used, but really, there is very little wear, and only the one tear. When we purchased these bags, there were few alternatives that had more than just a couple of pockets. Now there seem to be more choices. I don't know for sure if we would purchase these bags again, as I would be inclined to look for something a little more lightweight.

5These are great bags for the money
By S. Dodge
Great bags for the money! This is the second Athlon 15-pocket rolling duffel I have purchased; bought the smaller (25") one last year. I travel frequently, 2-3 times per month, on domestic aircraft (and don't have to wear/transport a suit). I use the smaller (25") version for 4-5 day trips, bought this (29") version for extended trips (1-2 weeks). I routinely check the bags. Thick ripstop cloth, sturdy, well-placed handles and reasonably high quality wheels. IMHO the airlines will eventually manage to destroy ANY bag you buy - so you are really trying to avoid a catastrophic in-travel failure (I have had such failures from both SOLO and Samsonite products) and buy a bag that will absorb the routine wear of travel reasonably well. I had to exchange my 25" Athlon last year (torn exterior pocket seam - NOT a catastrophic failure) and Athlon made the process relatively quick and painless - so I have to also give kudos to Athlon customer service. I have owned many different brands of rolling duffels over the years (Samsonite, Everest, Ogio, Olympia, etc) but I think Athlon currently makes the best bag for the money. Recommend.

5very well made duffel
By neil koelemeyer
Only problem is that it is super easy to blow past the fifty pound limit most airlines impose. This bag holds a lot!!With the sides zipping completely down it is very easy to pack. I use it in conjunction with packing cubes and as a combination packing is very easy.
