Falls over
This bag does not stand up and constantly falls over. I would not buy this again.

Good bag, but some issues
I bought bag two years ago and have used iton several trips. A good bag for non-airline travel, but I’ve had several issues I think related to baggage handling. First, the carry the top carry straps have a Velcro closure and tends to come apart. I have a made smaller Velcro strap that I wrap around the handle to keep it secure. Also, the wraparound baggage straps tend to come loose during travel. Finally, the main zipper has separated from the bag at one of the corners. Doesn’t look like this can be repaired so I will have to trash this bag. I had a similar but larger High Sierra duffel that I used for 15 years previous and it seemed to built a little more durable.

Quality is a plus
I looked everywhere for the drop bottom duffle. I finally searched High sierra and you had it back. I tried to find one back in 2022 for a graduation gift and it was no longer available. I am so glad it is back. I have had one for over 10 years and it was finally showing wear. This is narrower and taller. I expect it to last.

Great bag and design
Haven't used this bag just yet but I love the design and if it holds up as well as my old bag, I'll be extremely happy.

Great duffel bag
This duffel bag is great. The 2 separated large compartments held everything i needed for my travel. Stored a 34in pool case on the bottom and had plenty of room around it for other items. The upper portion stored all my clothing for a 5 day trip with a pouch that stored extra shoes aswell. It's a great bag when having a larger item that won't fit in a normal check-in bag. Bag held up well on the flights no issues. I had fully loaded and it was 46lbs. No problem at the terminal with weight.

Improved design well thought out bag
I bought this bag to replace my original one which had been overly damaged by the airlines. This new one shows design improvement over the original as it has added a bottom handle which serves as a support when standing up.

Good product with some needed protection to zipper
They look great & fit allot inside. But the zipper portion that sometimes comes in contact with the ground that is on the end where the wheels are wears out from rubbing the rolling surfaces it passes over. Very disappointed about this. I had the 34” & 28” drop bottom rolling duffles. There’s no protection for the zipper! It cost too much for shipping to return them so I donated both of them to a local charity organization.

VERY poor design. Falls over frequently
We have had the similar High Sierra large duffel roller bags for about eight or 10 years. Loved them. So after many trips, they were getting a bit worn and we decided to replace. I went back to High Sierra. And bought a very similar bag, unfortunately our original bags for no longer available. This bag constantly falls over. It is tall, narrow and high. Every bump I hit...it falls over. Very frustrating. I bought four but I will return the other three. I can't imagine that there was thorough user testing on this design. And by the way, my bag weighed 38 pounds. Far below the maximum, so it was not overpacked.

Bad ziper
We bought 2 of those bags last October and we were really happy of them - at the beginning. Alreday after flying the first time, I could barely open the ziper anymore. After the 2 second flight, it could open it, but it was broken as you can see it on the photo and needed to sew it to reclose it. My huseband starts having the same problem. The size is perfect and easy to handle. Only the ziper…..

Not the quality of my last High Sierra
Finally had to replace my fabulous High Sierra rolling duffle after 20 years. The corners had become worn through from contact with sidewalks. This bag will definitely not last that long. The quality is no longer there. The sides gape and the bag tips over when pulling. It only has one small end external pockets the previous bag had 2 fabulous large end pockets, but it does have a lower and upper section which is an improvement on the previous which only had one main compartment. The size at 28" is just a tad small compared to my last one at 30" and it is quite a bit narrower. It is a fair bag but nothing like its predecessor.

Reconsider
Not near the quality of previous High Sierra bags I have owned, the material quality along with functionality have significantly decreased. Bag will not stand on end and they have eliminated several options that used make their product stand out such as expandability, stash pockets, backpack option, durability, wheels, etc. 2 stars might be generous compared to previous products.

I LOVE THESE BAGS!
I've had mine for 15+ years and it still works great. I love the 2 separated areas so you can put shoes and bigger items down below. These are just amazing durable bags and excellent prices!

Perfect in-between size. Durable. Great design.
The design of a zippered lower half for clothing items and upper duffel half (with extra zippered compartment) is awesome. It makes it easy to organize your items by type with folded clothes on the bottom (with zippered access) and shoes, recreational and bulky items in the duffel top. The small zippered compartment works well for storing jacket, cap, etc. While you can't take this with you onto the plane, it is perfect for check-in on an in-between trip, where you need extra clothing, etc that exceeds capacity of a smaller bag. The wheels are solid roller blade style. I've had a similar High Sierra bag for 15 years that only recently developed a wheel problem. Had no problems with the heavy duty zippers. The inner material and handle seem to be built to similar standards. Wish it had side handles in addition to top and end handle, but that's only suggestion. I just love the design! I can pack snorkel, fins, shoes in the duffel and know I can easily get to all my folded clothes in lower compartment without disturbing the upper area.

Excellent Value in a Rolling Duffel for Travel
We’ve used High Sierra rolling duffels for travel, mostly ski trips, for over a decade. They are sturdy, economical, and work very for our purposes. This drop-bottom type is our favorite.

great large travel duffel
Perfect size for my tennis racquets, plus plenty of room for a week's vacation. But not so big it is unwieldy to move around the airport and check. Seems sturdy - time will tell.

Disappointed over smaller size!
I had the previous version of this bag and loved it!! Somehow, it was the perfect size for every cruise/trip. It withstood lots but finally - after many, many travels, a wheel broke and it tore at seams and was dirty so I wanted to buy a new one - I wanted the same bag. I am so disappointed - this newer version is much smaller and does not work for me. I returned it!

Grown to hate this bag.
When I first got this bag I was excited, looked great in the photos and a replacement for my old High Sierra that went around the world three times. But I have grown to absolutely hate this bag for one simple reason. It will not stand up! You will be forever at airports, hotels, train stations looking for a place to lean your bag, and you will cuss up a storm on the 100th time you expect the bag to stand up and it falls over in a lane of people walking. Good concept in this bag, horrible execution. Keep shopping.
