Customer Reviews Patagonia MLC Wheelie

I am an avid traveler who received this bag as a gift. On only the fourth use, the handle snapped off midway through a multi-connection transatlantic flight. I received a replacement from Patagonia per their 100% guarantee. The second bag I received broke, in the same way, after only one use. After eight weeks and multiple contacts, Patagonia has still not sent their promised replacement parts. I am not particularly hard on my bags, and would expect anything this price to hold up through at least its first year of use. If you are looking for a reliable bag that can stand up to regular travel, look elsewhere.

I'm returning this item; the handle extension broke on my first trip! On the way home it stopped extending all the way and then by the time I got home it wasn't extending at all. I bought Patagonia because they typically create quality products, not this one!

This was perfect for my long weekend in London. I was able to pack three outfits easily...a second pair of shoes would have been tricky. Absolutely loved that I could easily store it overhead and even under the seat in front of me on a regional plane. I've only used it once, so can't attest to durability but seems to be very well-made and has lots of pockets. So far I'm thrilled with the purchase.

This is a very useful bag that fits even in small overhead compartments or under airplane seats. I have packed 4 days worth of clothing in it (rolled) and a pair of shoes. With another large-ish carry-on you could probably pull off a week. I do see what some other reviewers have complained about -- the handle is sturdy plastic but it is still plastic. If the bag tips on a hard floor it could snap. So I've just been careful about it. The Seaweed is a great color, by the way.

This is a great bag, but it is REALLY small. It might be the maximum "legal" carry-on size, but you can buy a much bigger bag and "illegally" carry it on. Most of the carry-on's that people use are much bigger than this and in fact technically bigger than most airlines allow, but when was the last time anyone checked your carry-on luggage size? The worst possible outcome is to have to gate check a bag if you're flying on a really small plane, but then it's free!

Perfect size, fits overhead racks even on tiny planes. Patagonia quality. A bit smaller than regular MLC. Exactly what I needed.

This is the greatest small bag. Before purchasing it I read many reviews in which happy owners said they could not believe how much the bag holds. And they are right. It is amazing. I got my bag two years ago and I am back for another one soon. I love everything about the bag including Patagonia quality and imagination! I have the grey which I hope they will reintroduce. Also forgot to say I live in Shanghai and travel to and from U.S. often as well as throughout Asia. This bag goes everywhere with such ease it has been marveled by many.

I returned this for a less expensive option. The price just seemed a bit too much for what I was getting. It does meet carry on standards and there are a lot of zippered compartments but I could have purchased full size luggage for what I paid for this. It seems small, but this was designed to meet carry on standards.
