Convenient, durable, lightweight and flexible - The designs are lovely as well
My Rip Curl Men's F-Light Global Travel Bag is by far the one I like most of all the ones I ever owned. It is still in a good conditions though it accompanied me many times and I do not know how many kilometers it has gone from one end of the world to the other.
It is easy to carry, spacious and very convenient. Its sandwich design makes it easy to pack and unpack. The wheels and the telescopic handle make it handy to carry. I have to say that the handle is quite robust (compared to other items I have seen). The luggage pieces have a compression moulded EVA base shell that makes it robust and come with zip closures and are self-standing. The fabric is made of polyester.
The above mentioned product features are valid for all three available sizes.

Warranty - The only (small) disadvantage
Rip Curls offers a one-year warranty from the original date of purchase. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or damage caused by unreasonable use. IMPORTANT: You have to keep the receipt!
The relative short warranty period may be seen as a disadvantage and therefore leads to a deduction of one point in the overall rating.
Summary - I own it and would buy it again
I own the largest one that is suitable as check-in luggage only. Though I do not personally own the smaller ones the product descriptions and reviews I looked at make me believe that they are of the same high-quality. The price for me is reasonable and I think that the product offers good value for the money.
