Rockland Luggage 17 Inch Rolling Backpack

I bought this specifically for traveling through airports. I wanted a combination backpack and roller case. It worked very well. I used it mainly as a roller. It is easy to use as a backpack but because the frame can be hard against the back, I wouldn’t use it for long distances such as for a hike. It has good capacity. The zippers worked fine but are not as heavy duty as I would like, just take care with them. As opposed to what others have said, the outside mesh pockets won’t hold water bottles. Overall, a good product for my purposes.

Item is lightweight and not heavy duty. Looks and feel flimsy and cheap. Lower quality. I guess you get what you pay for. Not comparable or close the the Jworld ones I used to get for my child. Going back to those next yr. Or maybe in 6mo if this can even last that long.

The wheels seem cheaply made. The handle doesn't lock out which is annoying. Therefore, it can only be pulled and not pushed. I'm glad I bought it on sale.

Their are so many things to like about this bag that it’s a shame the wheels make it practically worthless. There are two wheels on each side 4 in total. They are very loose and wobble then they come apart and get jammed against each other and stop rolling. The same exact thing happened on both sides leading me to think the wheels were not manufactured correctly or the adhesive that holds them together is no good. UPDATE!! I glued the wheels together with a hot glue gun and it seems to have worked great! When I went to return it to Amazon they issued me a credit and they said they didn’t even want me to send it back. So I decided to see how well the rest of the bag was constructed. I loaded it up with 30lbs and started to abuse it It wasn’t exactly a real life process (lots of swinging around dropping dragging on the useless wheels). Surprisingly it held up very well. It looks like the secret is that the plastic that holds things together like the wheels ,retractable handle etc is very thin and not rigid at all , this seems to let things bend and flex rather than break. ( I’m not sure if this is by design or far more likely the cost , regardless it appears to work) I then took a 5 gallon bucket and eventually was able to fit it into the bag and close the zipper. I was literally pulling and stretching with all my strength to get it in. The stitching stretched in a few spots but didn’t tear or separate significantly. I had to use vise grips to close the zippers as I was stuffing the bucket inside. The only issues were the tabs that you use to operate the zippers broke off ( I really cannot fault the bag because I was pulling on the tabs with vise grips 🤐) but I was still able to get it closed without any more damage. I was still able to fit 2 medium towels in the front pocket relatively easily All in all I was pleasantly surprised by its construction If only the wheels and wheel assembly wasn’t crap then this bag would definitely be worth every penny. UPDATE! I used hot glue gun to glue the wheels together and it seems to have worked well. Although my abuse of the bag doesn’t scientifically duplicate long term use of the bag it certainly was impressive to me And a lot of fun I think I may have found my calling !!! Just in case anyone at Amazon reads this I could use a new job😀

Works well for your everyday needs. I use it as a handbag (wallet and phone in smaller front pockets) and put my breakfast and lunch in the largest section. Wheeling this around is better than lugging so much stuff on my back. One thing I don't like about it is that the wheels are NOT rubber, so they make a fair amount of noise when rolling on sidewalks and tile floors. Will see if I can find wheel covers to fix this but a big frown on an otherwise decent purchase.
