Dakine Split Roller 85L - Black, One Size

I was searching to replace my old duffel style bag. Went to stores, shopped online for a month for an upcoming 10 day trip to Europe. This bag seemed great but my big concern with the brand was the size up from this was to big and this one seemed a little small. I don't do a lot of 10 day trips so didn't want a massive bag to drag around on week long trips. When it arrived it still looked a little small so I set out to pack it with everything I needed. Turns out it has ample room for me to take a ton of clothes. I did use compression bags for dirty clothes to keep the size down and to keep them separated from clean clothes. I even packed a dinner jacket in this that I had to bring for one night along with two additional pairs of shoes along with all the clothes, toiletries and power converters.I dragged this through the cobble stone streets with no problem. The wheels are large enough to handle that and partly built into the bag to protect them from the baggage handlers.I wasn't sure if the internal compartments was something I was going to like. Turned out to be a nice blessing when I had to change clothes in a parking lot. I knew right where everything was located and grabbed it quick. This kept everything from getting rolled into each other and difficult to find.The external front pockets are pretty narrow though. You can't fit allot in them. I was able to squeeze a pair of flip flops in the larger bottom compartment. The top compartment I used for loose change and receipts. Not much else I found I could use them for.The build quality is excellent. Great stitching on the handles which got grabbed and pulled from every angle. Granted it has only been on one 10 day trip but Europe can be hard on luggage if you are dragging it around. I didn't have any problems with the bag rolling over while pulling it. Not sure why it never rolled over given that this is a narrow bag. But didn't happen once.The weight on this is awesome. It weighs as much as my weekend bag with three times the room. I never came close to the 50lb limit for airlines.I wasn't sure it would stand on it's own as most duffle style bags don't but wasn't worried about it. To my surprise packed or empty it stands on its own.One of my travel companions is a very seasoned domestic and international traveler. He took a look at it and said this is his next bag. The only problem he and I had was we had to rent the largest car we could get to fit our bags in the trunk since the cars in this region were pretty tiny.The only down side I found to this bag is in the hotel room. When you put it on the luggage stand it can be hard to fit when it is completely open and you are trying to work out of both sides of it. I propped the luggage stand out a little from the wall and laid the top of the bag on the wall. A minor annoyance when trying to dig through the bag.The identity card in the side, I never used. I still used the handle one since I figured who is going to know that is there if my bag gets lost. It's pretty hidden and kind of a gimmick in my opinion.I would purchase again and recommend to friends.

I use this daily for work and it is great quality. Dakine is a name you can trust in the outdoor industry. Great wheels,rolls easily, love the segmented compartments. Awesome size. Zippers are a high quality and very durable.

Love the quality, functionality, weight, zipper is solid. Rolls easily. I bought one for every family member.

This is best check-in bag I've ever had. Very large and well organized inside. Much superior to anything else I've used - and I've used a lot. Make no mistake: it's too big to carry on. But if you're going on an extended trip and you need more clothes, etc. than can fit in a carry-on, this will serve you well.

Lightweight but strongEasy to use. Different compartments make changing clothes easy. Rolls well.Has lasted for multiple trips.

The fabric on this bag tore/unraveled on my first trip out. In 2 places. Beware. I am working with Dakine to get product support. Will report back if successful and they stand behind the product.

Pricey, but probably worth it. Seems really well made and durable. Time will tell!

I've bought my 85L luggage approximately 4-5 years ago from a surfshop in Poipu, Hawaii. It wasn't cheap but I had used my wife's 110L on numerous occasions and liked it so I bought me the smaller one because for my travel purposed 110L is overkill. I use my 85L alot traveling to the mainland sometimes 3X a year. I've never had any problems with it until my last trip in January 2024, one of the wheels had a "Blowout" and shredded causing me to drag my around which was a real pain in the ass, luckily it was on the return leg of my travels. I played hell getting the wheels off with the hope of replacing them. So far I haven't had any luck contacting DA KINE to get some exact wheel size specifications information.
