Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I wanted something in between my 20 inch & 30 inch luggage for shorter trips. This is perfect! The green color is pretty & this is very lightweight. Great buy!
I have avoided a wheeled suitcase for years having enjoyed a duffel. However, as I progressed in age it was time to let some wheels shoulder the burden. I wanted to stay light and the High Sierra El Series 25 inch wheeled upright was my choice. My first impression was very good but by the end of my first trip the zipper stitching on the corner of the main compartment flap started to unravel. Now, on my second trip, the zipper has come loose entirely. Durability is obviously a problem and purchasing this luggage should be avoided. The unit is going to be returned after my current trip.
i was looking for an affordable, well made bag that i can take on trips. It is very light, good sized and well built. My only problem was the main big zipper does not flow very well. I zipper waxed it and it helped, but it is still sticky. Other than that minor problem it was a great bag at a great price!

I like High Sierra, and this is a good piece of luggage with a couple of weak spots. It's a square 25" bag, with lots of room. Its very light, I can put a weeks worth of cloths, dopp kit, and c-pap machine in it and still be under 50 lbs. Material is sturdy and resists airline/airport damage. Handle opens to 2 positions, great for short or tall people. The biggest weakness(and cost them 1 star) is the zippers. The material around the zipper frays, causing occasional jamming of the zipper. The frayed thread can be trimmed off but it's a pain and should not be necessary. You also need to hold the top slightly open when closing the bag empty or the zipper gets out of line. I fly with this bag 4-6 times a year, and use it weekly travelling by vehicle. There is some fraying on the piping but otherwise it's wearing well after a year. I own the 22" companion bag to this and have had non of the problems with that size. If they would use a better zipper this would be a nearly perfect bag,as it is, at Amazon prices it a really good buy.
