22" Purdy Neat worn out - anything better?
Guys,
My 20 year old Purdy Neat 22" roll-a-board is ready for the trash. Any recommendations on other brands that have the right stuff to last me another 12 years?
I might just get another Luggage Works bag and call it good but I am interested in considering other options too. Thanks!

After 13 years, I finally had to replace the kick plate (the metal panel that makes up the bottom). It had finally worn through at the bottom. The replacement part was so thin, I thought it wrong part.
But it was the right part, and I figured it wouldn't last long. The replacement lasted barely a year.
I wound up buying another, and making a field mod by screwing a section of aluminum L channel to the edge. So far, so good.

I've owned 3 PNT bags and they fall apart, need rebuilds and spare parts, and are just plain heavy. The Costco bag works great and while I bought one for $99 thinking I'd return it when it wears out, 4 years later it's still doing its job.

Check out Briggs and Riley bags... lifetime no-questions no-exceptions warranty. You might check if there's a dealer near you, since they can handle the warranty without you having to mail luggage.
