Revo Spin II 29" Exp. Twister Upright (Blue) Review

I bought a 29" Revo Spin 2 from a discount luggage shop in Los Angeles in late July of 2012, to live out of on my current US tour (I travel the world for a living, working on the crew of touring Broadway shows and concert tours). Today (May 30, '13) I replaced it with a different spinner from another maker.

The Revo case held up fairly well to the rigors of the North American air-travel industry (and the shaved apes who try as hard as they can to break your luggage into smithereens) for the most part, but the trim and handles took a real beating - I never thought of a grip handle as a consumable wear point before. On the bag's second air trip, flying from SFO to DFW on AA, the pull-up handle somehow got mooshed a touch; barely enough to see but enough to prevent it's smooth deployment or stowage - Since last August, I've had to really whomp on the handle to get it to slip back into the bag. On the bag's fifth foray into the airline world, the external ID tag cse was ripped off. The following trip one of the four caster corners was shattered, and it took a few days to find a repair facility that could fix Revo bags, to replace the wheels. A few weeks ago, the riveted-on plastic REVO brand tag that appears on the top-front pocket cover departed this life... Ten months, and the bag is giving up.

Speaking of that pull-up handle, I'm really not a fan of the height that the handle's packing tubes intrude into the suitcase interior. You can't really pack anything flat against the case while it's lying on it's back. I know many cases do this, but I've seen enough suitcases (and today bought one) that have the sleeves outside the cases interior, with a true "flat-floor" packing scheme.

The Revo also weighs a lot. I mean, this sucker's *heavy*; almost fifteen pounds. It's a trade-off, of course; the heavier the exterior fabric, the more protection this sort of bag provides, however each pound of suitase equals a pound less of personal belongings you can pack before you hit the airlines' overweight-fee points. And I have run into more than one uncalibrated airport ticket counter scale that claimed my 49-lb. loaded Revo was over the magic 50-pound point ("that'll be another $100, please."). This bag is at least two pounds heavier than even the heaviest polycarbonate hardside I've investigated. If you travel more by rail/auto/ship/whatever than by air, and thus are not as affected by overweight fees as other travelers, this might not be any concern to you. But if, like me, you *are* on weight restrictions and flying every week, you'd do well to bear it in mind.

I will admit again that, for the most part, the touring industry hasn't been able to totally kill this bag. But enough stuff *has* happened to it that maybe shouldn't have, that I can't really give it a real five-star rating. It's just an OK bag. It does the job. I bought it on sale in L.A., and I can't say I didn't get my money's worth out of it. But then again, I didn't pay what Amazon is asking for a new Revo. If I did, I wouldn't be so sanguine about this bag as I am.
