Comments about Base Camp Rolling Thunder—28'' (95L)
I own three of these. They are well made but heavy and the bags weight is about 22 percent of the allowed baggage allowance of 50lbs per checked bag that most airlines follow. A buckle on one of my bags broke on its first airline trip. North Face customer service said North Face do not stock buckles and I would have to ship it to a repair centre. At the repair centre I was told they don't have the buckles and they can't get them from North Face. The repair centre would source new buckles and change the straps...what a waste of time and effort when the broken buckle can be slid off the strap to be replaced. Unfortunately, North Face doesn't stock it and the customer suffers. Terrible service and poor support for a new product. So much for being green and reducing pollution and carbon footprints North Face.

Stewed over buying this big a bag for a recent ski trip to Japan. I have many other large base camp duffles but none with wheels. I was traveling with the fast pack and time is of the essence. No waiting around to should a heavy duffle. I don't buy stuff that I wont use more than once, so it was a big decision for me. Look at other wheels options of similar size and decided on the TNF Rolling Thunder. I was not disappointed. It fit my ski boots, helmet, snow boots, crocks and a bunch of other crap I normally would not take on a mission. Organization was exceptional, and most of all the zippers worked flawlessly under load. I am a stickler for zippers and the size and the large pulls made it easy to round corners with the zippers under tension. Love the load handles and compression straps and could throw it around like a baby Yoda when needed.

Fits so much more than a normal hard luggage, but protects your stuff just as well. As a strength athlete this bag is perfect to fit everything I need for competitions.

We use this luggage for various types of travel: airplane/hotel, train/hotel, trailer/camping, airplane/boat. Mountain, ocean, desert, lake. The versatility to handle our gear is unmatched. It's sturdy and collapses for easy storage. More expensive than other size bags on the market but well worth the money on quality, sturdiness, and versatility.

Purchased for use as ski boot and gear bag. 8 flights under our belts and really pleased with it. Sturdy and effective handle, great compression straps. I looked at about a dozen bags before purchase and am very happy with my choice.

The rolling thunder is very stylish, had plenty of space for my two weeks trip, it rolls nicely. Unfortunately, the coat that covers the fabric was damaged on the first flight I took this thing, leaving the logo scarred, as well as other parts. This might be good for buses, vans, and car trips. I'm pretty sure that a couple more flights gonna have to buy something new. Something else to consider is that the side straps might get hooked into other things on transit.

So we bought the larger Thunder and it was absolutely massive. So happy we bought these for our japan trip, heavy duty and rolls smoothly. Really like the volume and straps to synch down top and sides but favorite feature are the handle placements.
