原文: I bought this not quite a year ago for my son as a 4th grade book bag. The school requested that the children use a roller-type bag. After wasting a ton of money on over-priced kids roller bags that don't even make it until the winter holidays, I decided to get something tougher. I withheld my revi
ew of this bag to see how it endured the school year.
First: I knew going in that any bag I chose would have to endure 9 months of carrying an average of 15-20 pounds of books and various school supplies. That's why I looked at solid brands with a good reputation. I am old enough to remember the 1980's Samsonite commercials with the gorilla tossing the luggage around--the point being, that the luggage could take it. So, I believed that this bag could endure a 9-year old taking it to school every day.
The bag itself did extremely well. The material, zippers, and wheels are STILL in GREAT shape. The backpack straps are still like new. The only "flaw" in the bag design, IMO, is the handle and handle mechanism. It didn't hold up to repeated use. It eventually broke completely, with the handle itself bending and then no longer being able to slide in and out. Eventually, because the handle was permanently extended, it snapped in half. I admit it was un-gentle use (9-year-old boy, remember), but I felt like the handle was a bit thin relative to the bag size and it's capacity. Ultimately, it lasted for 75% of the school year--better than the usual kiddie roller bag.
I looked for a place near me that could repair the part, but didn't find anything. I didn't find much help on the Samsonite site either. So, now I have a really beefy backpack (which, even empty, is a bit heavy for a backpack) and I have to buy another school bag. Would I buy this bag again? Probably, but it depends on the deal I get relative to other well-made bags of similar design.

译文: 我是在不到一年前为儿子买的包,这是一个四年级孩子的书包。学校要求孩子们使用滚筒式的包。在过度消费的小孩滚筒包上浪费了一大笔钱,直到暑假,都没有找到合适的,于是我决定选一些更合适的。我没有看到这个包的评论,看看它是如何撑过这个学年的。
首先:我知道,我选择的任何包都需要忍受9个月的平均15-20磅的书籍和各种学习用品的重量。这就是为什么我需要选购有良好声誉的品牌。我年纪已经比较大了,记得20世纪80年代的新秀丽广告片,大猩猩把行李扔到了附近 - 那就是,行它可以把行李带走。所以,我相信这个包可以承受一个9岁的孩子每天上学的物品重量。
包本身做得非常好。材料,拉链和轮子也非常好。背包肩带仍然像新的一样。 IMO的唯一“缺陷”就是手柄和手柄构造。它可以重复使用。但它最终还是完全坏了,手柄本身弯曲,然后不能再滑进和滑出。最终,因为手柄被永久性地延伸,所以它一下子就折了起来。我承认这是不太满意的使用(9岁的男孩使用的,记得),但我觉得手柄比起包的大小来说,有点薄,它的容量也是。最终,它撑过了75%的学年 - 比平常的小孩用的滚轮包好。
我在附近寻找可以修理零件的地方,但没有找到任何东西。我在Samsonite网站上也找不到太多有用的东西。所以,现在我有一个非常好用的背包(即使是空的,背包也有点沉重),我还得再买一个书包。我会再次购买这个包吗?可能,但这取决于我能不能买到其他品牌的质量比较好的包。
