Well what can I say? It's a large suitcase, it holds things and get them from point A to point B. I'm not a luggage afficionado but I just took it on a long trip and it held everything I needed. When I got it out of the baggage claim it didn't look any worse for the wear and protected what was inside. The wheels on the bottom are really convenient.

I bought this luggage when I got a traveling job. I fly a lot! (a couple of times a week) and this luggage held up for about 5 months. Now it has warn considerable and some of the zipper handles have broken off. Also the strap on the top that holds another bag has completely broken off. Now I am wishing I had spent a little more to get a suitcase that would have lasted a little longer.

I had recently bought a similar piece of rolling luggage for working trips for a documentary film - my existing luggage didn't hold enough, and I needed to carry some gear and tapes along with everything else. The one I bought was good but cost 3 times as much as this. Then my daughter went overseas for 6 months and I let her use it so I had to get another. I couldn't see spending that much again, so I researched online, and went for the Skyway. It's very basic (no inner compartments or bag for suits, etc), big (maybe slightly bigger than I need, but that's ok). It's very light but seems to be strong - we'll see over time I guess. It rolls very easily.

The Sigma 2 was useful for my recent two week vacation split between Toronto and Pittsburgh. I packed a week's worth of clothes along with hygiene items and some extras and filled it about halfway. The weight on the luggage scale came out to only 28 pounds, so I could've packed it quite a bit more. The only con is that I couldn't figure out how to secure everything so it didn't shift around.
This suitcase is very affordable and was tough enough to survive two flights, downtown Toronto, a 12 hour Greyhound ride, and a couple miles on foot so I'm happy with it. However, it's a bit too large if you're looking for something for a weekend trip.
I look forward to using it for my future trips and would purchase it again. Great Value.

We ordered two of these suitcases for 3 long trips we were taking in quick succession. Pre-trip was great: Large capacity, lightweight, great price. Upon picking up our suitcases from baggage claim the first trip we used them, both had extensive rips in the top pocket's corner. It seems likely a flaw in the seam, since both were ripped in exactly the same place.

Used on a 19 day tour or Greece where we moved to a new hotel every other day. Repacking had to be done from scratch every time. Had excellent capacity for all my needs. On the trip back one of the zippers lost the tab and was replaced at no charge by company, but item had to be taken to and picked up from appropriate retailer about 20 mi from my home. Overall good service for price, but I do not think it will withstand a lot of use (ie, repeated trips).

The dusty blue color makes this suitcase easy to find on the luggage carousel, and its sturdy design makes it a reliable travel partner. Its capacity is amazing; I fit all of my necessary travel gear *plus* all of my family's Christmas gifts in it for my last trip! I also took it overseas and it fit everything I needed. My carry-on sized suitcase is also a Skyway and I have loved it for years.

It held all of my clothing from theatre wear to jeans, boots to heels and gloves, hats and scarves. Held up well during airport handling and was easy for me to maneuver and lift by myself.

The size was perfect, but the overall quality of the material was weak at best. Airlines were very damaging to the surfaces. The handles and zippers were fine.

I bought this for my first trip to Europe and it was unwieldy the entire time. Pulling it through the airport was no problem, but once I got it onto the sidewalks of Munich and Florence, it was a nightmare. The luggage was heavy before I even put anything in it, so it was a bear to deal with. The pull out handle was way too short, making it an awkward pull/push. I would not buy this again.

Living in Europe, we need to make the most of our weight restrictions, so getting a suitcase that is lightweight and has wheels is a rare find. I looked at other suitcases that are "lightweight," but some were 15 lbs! This bag is about 9.5 lbs and is sturdy and roomy. I bought two to begin with, and since they traveled so well, I bought another, and I'm going to get still another so all of my family members have one.
