Voltron Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 That's disheartening Jeff. I had been considering a basic Alpha briefcase again. I wonder if those are still ok. I think the Alpha is still pretty much indestructible but it does still have a much worse warranty than it had just a few years ago. This is true. I had an Alpha for 12+ years and other than some zipper issues due to overstuffing it held up incredibly well. When there were issues, I brought it into the shop and they sent it to Tumi and it got fixed for free. I have a newer Alpha and it is just as solid and if anything the zippers are stronger. Not sure about the warranty, but I am guessing Jeff is right that it has been limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I know, I know...I haven't purchased it yet, though. Is it too girly? I kinda like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Oh, I thought you had bought both the duffel and the Bihn. I think the Bihn is a bit fem from that pic, but hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I think the Bihn is a bit fem from that pic, but hard to say. Aha, that is what I didn't like about it. Too fem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I know, I know...I haven't purchased it yet, though. Is it too girly? I kinda like it. Not at all. If you like it buy it. I like it better than my Tumi, which I no longer use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelshunde Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have a TravelPro Computer roller that's seen a ton of domestic travel abuse and has held up beautifully for 7 years - it's never been broken so I can't speak to warranty servicing by TravelPro, but the general buzz isn't that good for them. Amongst really hard core travel types, Briggs and Riley is often considered best-of-breed. Not the cheapest by any stretch, but this is one of those decisions that begs to err on the side of quality. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-products/702133-best-luggage.html http://www.briggs-riley.com/category/productDetail.aspx?id=24-inch-Expandable-Upright-Spinner_U524SPX&col=baseline&cat=spinner luggage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 it's not girly, but it's definitely metro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I don't think it is all that girly for a Bihn bag. That being said I would expect if you showed a picture with it unzipped the interior would be bright pink with neon light accents, Bihn style, and that might push it over the edge.

shellylh Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 None of my Bihn bags have come with neon lights! I've been jipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'd probably go with the Black exterior/steel interior to maintain my generally tough look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
