I also have an older Tumi backpack and it has been great. However, I have noticed that ever since Tumi was acquired by Samsonite, the quality has gone downhill by an extreme amount. The zippers used to be made of very thick and sturdy metal, but those are gone, in favor of cheaper and flimsier zippers. The fabrics are much cheaper, thinner, and weaker now as well.
- partomniscient 5y agoCan echo this. My first Tumi was great but failed due to user error (internal spills that were my fault). My second degraded much quicker - zips and strap stitching failed. Moved to a Victoronix, which seems to be even better than the first Tumi, but its only been in use a few years so far.
