High Sierra Fairlead 22 DB Wheeled Duffel

Very versatile. Fits into small overheads when travelling light but expands to 50L capacity when filling the front half. Solid build.

I took this bag on a ten day sailboat trip in the BVI. Three planes and A LOT of walking with this bag. If you are definitely NOT going to stuff the bag to the max it would be better. I did really stuff it, and that didn't work out great. I could only bring one bag. The top bulged up so I was forced to check it. I literally walked side walks and dirt areas for miles and the bag toppled over multiple times. It was very frustrating. However it did hold up very well. I do think it's a great bag but not for this type of trip. Would be much better for a weekend trip or for someone who packs really light. I did order at least three other wheeled duffles to test before I chose this one, and it was the best quality. I knew if I was forced to check it, then the material would hold up, and it did! When I got my bag at bag check it was all wet. They must of dropped it in a puddle or who knows what happened to it. None of my items in the bag where wet at all! Thank goodness! I hope you found this review to be helpful! :-)

I used this on a three week trip to Italy in the Fall of 2024. Worked well, held just enough clothes and toiletries (though I did laundry along the way). It appears I could use this as an airline carry-on bag as well.

Easy to pack with middle split opening. Easy to access with top and middle openings when traveling. This is my 3rd high sierra brand piece of luggage. The other 2 are larger but over 12 yrs old and have survived air travels around the world numerous times. This one is carry on size. The design makes it easy to divide and access all the items you need to remove in security lines, divide dirty vs clean clothes, or separate items that may leak from those you need to keep protected.

Edit: seller discounted bag for me to keep it rather than return. That’s very nice of them. I will figure out how to use it. Bag is a nice color blue but it is smaller than I expected. Has lots of pockets.

This was the most amazing suitcase for packing in a carry-on. Unfortunately, I only was able to use it twice. On the way home from the second trip the handled jammed in the closed position, and I was never able to get it back out. I had to carry it through the airport. I’ve never used it again

Easy to get into. Light and lots of room

The handle on the bottom needs to be larger so that it stands up without falling over. OR, the material at the bottom (when standing) needs to be reinforced to keep the bag from falling over. Otherwise, I love the bag.

This is a very nice bag, I use it for my roller derby gear. My skates and pads fit nicely in the bottom portion keeping them separate from the items in the top portion. The side pouch is super handy and accessible for when you are rolling the bag around.
