If you wonder about the original bags that I know I didn't like as opposed to the new set that shows promise, take a look here but please also check out the PDF in my post #11 in this thread before seriously considering those bags that started the thread.

These look nice.

I assume they will fit the Pure.

They LOOK nice from a distance. If you don't touch them or unzip them, they even look decent closer up. It's when you get your hands on them that you realize how much potential was lost (in my opinion) to poor workmanship and substandard internal materials.

Well, my wife liked the looks of the Roadtrip Luggage from the information packet that I printed out from their website, so I received the "Seal of Approval" this morning from her, and ordered the luggage today! I'll post pics and a review here when I get them, and then a more in-depth review after I've used them the first time! I already know that they're too high to be able to use my luggage cover in back while they're in place, but that's no biggy!! :>)

You know, I remember seeing a set that was smart branded. Any one know what I am talking about?

The ones that I've ordered have a "glowing lightbulb" in the corner of the suitcases, I guess to indicate "smart" thinking or whatever, but I've never seen any actual "smart" brand suitcases anywhere.

Anyone buy the roadtrip bags?

The problem with the bags pictured here -- no wheels. When traveling, I usually take the plane or train to my destination. I need those pedestrian friendly features on my luggage. I have two red bags with wheels that will look perfect in my new soon to be red smart car. And they will fit fine.

Well, I received the Roadtrip luggage yesterday, and I'll be returning it in the next couple of days. It's just not going to work for me! Even though I'd checked the measurements and everything, it looked bigger in the photos than what it actually is, IMHO. Plus, we've decided that we really want something on wheels & with a handle for pulling along, since we usually over-pack when we're going somewhere! So.... these bags wouldn't be large enough OR convenient enough, and I think that I can find something that will better fit our needs for the same (or less) money! Since luggage is a somewhat subjective thing, I don't want to dissuade anyone from purchasing this luggage and seeing if it will work for them, since they offer a 30-day "Buyer's Remorse" money-back guarantee, which covers everything but the shipping back to them, so I guess it would cost you about $10-12 if you didn't like it for S&H. They think that the $150 price-point is a fair price, and others might agree, but I was expecting more "bang for the buck", so to speak! According to them, the overall return rate on ALL their luggage is only 0.3%, so you be the judge!
