Nova

Its pricey but the quality is there. Bought this specifically for a trip to China where I didn’t want to be bogged down checking a bag but needed business attire for the week. I maxed out this bag without any issues. Not to mention had to pack and repack twice at customs/TSA due to some collar stays that were flagged and of course at the bottom of my bag. Zippers worked just fine even under the stress of my over pack. Zero balance issues and surprisingly mobile for a two wheeler. I already have packing cubes but there may get theirs as they may fit better. All in all happy w my purchase.

This bag is durable, high quality, and my only regret is that I didn’t purchase this sooner. A lot can fit in this bag and I managed to pack for a five night cruise. The zippers which people complain about seem to be sturdy but will need to use this a bit more to have a definitive review. Next purchase is the personal item bag.

Brought 2 Nova carry ons. Sand colour for myself and red for my wife. Wool l and Oak had a great promotional deal for Black Friday- TBH, I’d been waiting for the deal to drop. Perfect Christmas gifts! Didn’t get to use it properly until last month at a work conference in Marco Island, Florida, I usually check in for these kinds of events as I’m working and I need to be there for a week. The Nova nailed it! Packed all I needed for daytime work and themed parties at night-a closet full of clothes!. No issue carrying it on the plane, I just had a small underseat backpack to carry my laptop etc. I can’t believe the craftsmanship and care that’s gone into making these. Best luggage I’ve ever owned. Have a European vacation coming up in July; thinking of buying the smaller nylon version and ditching the check in shenanigans all together! Maybe a summer discount, deal, Wool and Oak?
