with the zips on that particular bag. It is very large and the zips are not the better quality ones used on some travel luggage. Just dont stuff it full to the brim or the zip may bust.
That range of bags come in 3 sizes and to be honest the mid size is probably a better option for the quality of the product. That one doesnt have wheels but is a managable size and was retailing on sale for $19.95. There is also a hand luggage size which I purchased about 6 months ago.
The reason this bag is lighter in weight is because there is no pull-out handle, eliminating the weight of the struts. There is only a fabric handle to pull it by, nothing wrong with that either.
Have put the link to the bag from the Strandbags website below. cheers :-)
