Still wading through the mass of listings... bit concerned about the zips. I've seen lots of pics where the zip tag is sort of in the middle, like the zip section is half open and half closed - but both sides of the tag are zipped, the only open bit is right where the zip pull is. Any thoughts?
You can see what I mean on teh brown or the multi coloured floral one here:

Looks well dodgy and the seller hasn't got any feedback. I'd stay away from this one if I were you!0 -

I got one of these last year, and I'm a little disappointed.
It doesn't work very well as a wheely case, as the strap is too loose, so the bag hangs in a funny way, making it unstable.
But it's also awkward to carry as a holdall, as the wheel base is rigid, and bashes against you leg.
I got it in orange for £25 (see below). Thinking of selling it for something that is either a proper case or a proper holdall.

When I used to make cushions in the Laura Ashley curtain factory my zips were cut off a continuous roll & zipper was put on on a little machine thingy - so zipper would be half up zip until you split it open & then zipped it back up.
So I say the zip is continuous & doesn't have the end stopsbut opens as normal

I must comment about my Kipling XL - it is huge - 64cm wide so mustn't stuff it full if using it for flying as it will need to fit into 55cm box thingy.
But as it is unlined it is lightOur Family Motto ~If all else fails - read the instructions...

I have the Wonderer and agree it doesn't work to well as a wheely bag but I bought it mainly as it had backpack straps and I could carry it as a rucksack and have one hand for each of the kids too. The plastic moulded wheel support was a little uncomfy on the back but it worked well for me!'You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.

That's interesting Snap. So they may be ok then? I'm really tempted by a couple of the prints so may give them a try anyway.0
