For 7 weeks and 10 destinations I had this filled to capacity (though not expanded), and at max weight for international flight (24kg 53 pounds). At weight, you need to keep it in front of you at an angle if on all fours, but the wheels are fine. I was surprised they survived the many brick and cobblestone streets I dragged then across.
One mishap with the zipper. After 6 weeks, I lifted from handle on long side, and the zipper came completely undone. Was able to fix it, and didnt use that handle again, but was worried it wouldnt survive baggage handling. It survived the two remaining airports just fine. HIGHLY recommend you get luggage straps with this for this reason. It also makes it easier to distinguish your bag.
All bags have issues. Still glad I chose this one. If you have a lot to carry, this is your bag.
