No real surprises here. The quality leaders (Red Oxx, Tom Bihn, and Eagle Creek) and the value leaders (Rick Steves and eBags) have made strong showings. Vote in the right-hand column of this page if you haven’t done so.

I'm not sure why Pathfinder was omitted--is it not a world-wide brand, or marketed under varying names? It's polycarbonate frame is amazingly strong and light, and at 2 years is already outlasting my previous set of "prestige" luggage.
I'm not too familiar with Pathfinder and most of their stuff seems to be wheeled and a little on the heavy side. The poll reveals a decided preference among our readers for the the lightweight, wheeless bags.
