21st Century Luggage Super ambitious product germinated from a kickstarter campaign. I see some weakness with it - zipper on main compartment is not smooth, quality of the teeth mediocre - but overall, for a first-launch product (compared to the big boys in the industry that have had years of testing), the Barracuda team has done exceptionally well.. delivering a product with bells and whistles (collapsable, charger, tracker) that are indeed a beautiful and refreshing thing. I'm sure the company will smooth it out over time. I was reassured by the Chief Design Officer, Boban... "We do offer a 5 year warranty and if the zipper, or anything else, ever fail on you please do let us know and we will be happy to get that fixed/replaced."

As promised! I am very happy with my Barracuda! It meets almost all of my expectations. The tracking unit could have been explained better before placing an order. Learning the limitations, I may rely on another product. Otherwise it is beautiful. I do hope it will hold up with extended use.

Crappy Barracuda Travel Bags I really like this bag in the beginning but he quality of materials is seriously lacking. The handle is tearing away at the top and the zipper around the corners are frayed. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CRAPPY BAG!!!! I used a Samsonite carry on bag for 18 years (20 trips yearly) with no issues.

Horrible customer service Horrible customer service. Will not reply after 4 emails to try and get zipper fixed. 3 weeks and counting. Bags will break, it is my expectations that someone has customer service to facilitate their 5 year warranty.

Not durable I bought this bag in its Kickstarter days. Lots to like -- handle, wheels, collapsability. Unfortunately the bag is not durable. I used my first bag on a trip overseas, always put it in the overhead compartment, handled it as one would a carry-on. By the time I returned home the fabric at the lower part of the zipper was frayed to the point of splitting from the fabric. Assuming the damage was a fluke I contacted customer service and they promptly sent a second bag. I used the second bag on an overseas trip and again, treated it as one would treat a carry-on. Same wear pattern, same place, after only one use. There is a lot to like about the bag but the angle of the zipper at the bottom end of the bag simply invites excess wear.
