Comments about TheNorthFace ROLLING THUNDER—36":
Needed 2 bought one and wanted to buy from Patagonia the other one
While I was away loved it so much
That bought another one Exactly the same
I travel 36 flights a year
So this will serve me for many trips
Very easy to hold
Very stable
Fantastic arrangement inside
Roomy
Easy to carry by myself
I thought not having a metal handle will be a problem but I was wrong
It's so convenient with the way it's designed
Thank You Northface
I usually don't bother to write reviews but

Comments about TheNorthFace ROLLING THUNDER—36":
It's almost such a nice bag and it looks so pretty. The handle placement is not an issue. The issue is that the corners opposing the wheels - THE CORNERS - which take 95% of the wear and tear as the bag bounces around on airplane and airport carousels and conveyors is fabric! EVERY OTHER DURABLE BAG FROM EVERY COMPETITOR HAS BUMPERS ON THE CORNERS FOR A REASON!! Such a big flaw! I took it on ONE flight and it was ripped when I got it back. I own 3 large duffels that I have taken on hundreds of flights and put through so much abuse and they are still going strong. North Face you can do better. So very disappointed. I'm in the midst of returning it right now. Owned for less than a month.

The bag is oversize, as per airlines. If it were just 3-4" smaller in width or height it wouldn't be considered oversize.

Comments about TheNorthFace ROLLING THUNDER—36":
One reviewer gave this bag demerits for having two off-center gripping straps at the opposite end of the bag from the wheels instead of the more common extendable pull-along handle. Although I was a bit concerned about this when I bought it, I quickly got used to it and actually believe it is probably a more durable and lightweight solution for such a large (and potentially very heavy when loaded) bag. Try before you buy if possible, but I think this is a PLUS rather than a minus.

Comments about TheNorthFace ROLLING THUNDER—36":
I travel all the time living out of hotels sometimes weeks at a time. I'm in construction so the bag takes abuse in the back of the truck. The only complaint I have is the ability to maneuver the bag on the wheels. The design is flawed. The two handles at the top are offset. It doesn't have a additional handle centered so your wheeling the bag off centered and unbalanced. Simple turns become complicated. With the intense capacity of the bag this will become a problem. Hopefully future designs will account for this.

Comments about TheNorthFace ROLLING THUNDER—36":
I've had the whole set of this luggage (large and carry-on) and after going through old suitcases every few months, I am running on almost a year strong with this set. It's large open compartment lets me store my clothing and equipment with ease. The clasps outside help tighten the flap down snugly to accomodate the volume of "stuff" packed away. I have yet to fill this over capacity for one of my trips. My only complaint is that the cosmetic plastic covering the main flap is very thin and is scuffed off to reveal the tough nylon underneath that is unscathed from the trauma. Yes, I would buy this again. And again.

Comments about TheNorthFace ROLLING THUNDER—36":
There is no handle with this bag, there are only two straps and they're off center so it makes it extremely difficult to maneuver. The last image in the picture shows it with a handle which is extremely misleading.

I was able to pack my ski boots in the side, zippered compartment with room to spare and without taking away space from the main inner compartment. Tons of space. Only went on one ski trip since purchasing, but held up well.
