Product Description
Rolling suitcases are all the rage in airports, but they're rarely as spacious as a good duffle bag. Enter the La Guardia rolling travel bag, which offers the same wheeled convenience thanks to its inline skate wheels and retractable tow handle, but offers an impressive 6,400 cubic inches of volume. The La Guardia boasts two main compartments with a large U-shaped opening for easy packing, along with a couple of internal zippered mesh pockets for holding toiletries, books, and other items. The main compartments are also travel-lock-friendly, so you needn't worry about someone rummaging through your goodies while you grab a coffee. Add in two easy-access exterior accessory pockets--ideal for frequently used items, such as a day planner--and you have a great airplane carry-on or road trip companions.
When you've reached your destination and can no longer rely on the wheels, you can turn to the padded center and end handles, which are durable and secure. And thanks to the La Guardia's Bungee compression system, you can squeeze the full bag into a variety of tight spaces, including crowded overhead compartments and jam-packed car trunks. Best of all, the La Guardia is completely collapsible when empty, so you can stuff it in virtually garage or basement storage space.
The La Guardia, which measures 30 by 14.5 by 14.5 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews
Not Quite a Lifetime WarrantyReview by Stew, 2010-06-29
I just received this bag and have not yet used it on a trip. I wanted to write this review now to correct a significant error in the description of the bag at the Amazon website. The bag is described as having a lifetime warranty. That is not true. When I received the bag, the tag from Outdoor Products clearly states the bag has a 3-year warranty, not a lifetime one. The lifetime warranty was one of the main reasons for me purchasing the bag, as I do a lot of international plane traveling, where luggage is not treated in the most gentle manner.
I have a trip coming up that will include 6 flight legs, and when I return, I'll try to update this review with how the bag performed in actual use.
Update August 6, 2010:
Regarding the warranty, I spoke to the vendor who said that the warranty is indeed a 3-year warranty, not a lifetime one as advertised. They told me they were in the process of changing the information in the description of the bag on the Amazon website, but as of today it still says the misleading 'Lifetime Warranty'. Beware if this is important to you.
I just returned from a trip that required 7 flight legs, and the bag seemed to perform very well, and came through unscathed. The two separate compartments makes it very convenient to separate luggage contents without having to dig down through a single deep duffel.
Geat bag!
Review by Daniel Baik, 2010-01-02
I've had this bag for a few years and it survived several flights including one from Chicago to South Korea and back (twice). While it has some scuff marks courtesy of your local friendly airport luggage handlers, it's held together very well and there's not any structural issues, other than the zippers occasionally struggling to zip around the bottom compartment. I'd definitely recommend this bag to anyone who wants to travel!
Bag vs. United Airlines: Fatality!
Review by Kevin Hogan, 2009-12-23
This bag *looks* tough and well-constructed (and is definitely roomy), but I began to have misgivings about its longevity when I pulled it off of the carousel after its first flight and noticed the heavy scuffing gouging into the surface of the fabric. It then did okay for two weeks of travel -- being pulled on and off of trains and taxis, rolling a few blocks to the next hotel, etc. -- but it was the Chicago-LA leg of the flight home that killed it off. It arrived with one of the end pockets hanging open -- the zipper was still there, but the zipper head had been pulled completely off the teeth and was nowhere to be seen. Good thing that we hadn't packed anything in that pocket! At this price, I expect a bag to last longer than two weeks; if I wanted disposable luggage, I'd shop at Wal-Mart.
Rolling duffle test
Review by Jeffrey B. Robinson, 2009-04-11
Purchased for trip to Eastern Europe, they tell you to pack light and secure. This bad did very well, packs easy, rolls great and has solid locks (needed for any trip overseas). I would endorse its use and purchase the bonus is it looks great as well!
