> Magellan ? Like the Academy Sports brand?

I've noticed the same issue with Columbia, my 10 yr old shirts are awesome, still going strong. New ones tear easily, shrink like crazy too. Love my darn tough socks, only brand I own.

I have a backup handy, but it's not something that I'd necessarily trust for extensive use, and it's only useful if I'm actually home.

In other words, if I need to switch to it to fly out to a one-off and I'm already home, it's fine. If I'm going out on a four month long tour, I really don't want that to be my main bag for for months. And if I'm in the middle of a tour and thousands of miles from home, that backup is useless to me.

Why not just have a backup handy? I mean I know you might be stuck if you aren’t home, but I would look at having a backup since you travel so much.

I have bought cases from Travel Pro, Samsonite, and Beis within the last year and have been happy with all three. (All three have different uses…Travel Pro-checked, Samsonite-carry on for 3 days max for business travel (has laptop pocket/charger), and Beis- more for leisure or if I am going to be gone for a week. I am super happy with the Beis for the price that I may end up getting one of their checked bags for a long trip next year.

I was looking for a good under kitchen sink garbage can that attached to the door and took the lid off for you. I couldn’t find one and remembered liking the one my parents had at their place (since about 1991). Got the name from my mom and it’s been the first thing I’ve bought in every home I’ve owned lol. Fantastic product even if it is expensive.
