Customer Reviews The North Face Rolling Thunder 30"

Absolutely love! Comes highly recommended! I am buying another one for sure.

Handle and wheels work great. Perfect size for a five day trip.

Took this bag on its maiden voyage to La Jolla, CA. Flying from DEN to San Diego, this bag was the perfect size and made for an amazing carry on and it's super easy to identify (I have the yellow version). I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a solid carry on bag for flights or even a small suitcase for weekend trips.

Handle and wheels work great. Perfect size for a long trip.

I've been impressed with this bag. Tolls great. Opens smoothly. Overall a great item!

Incomparable design

I originally had this same bag, just an older model. After about a year, the retractable handle started getting loose and eventually wouldn't fully extend. It would also jam anytime I tried to get it to retract back into the bag. I returned the bag since it was under warranty and, while I"m still a little concerned about the durability of the handle, the structure/design of this bag is greatly improved. I really like how the walls of the bag seem like it more molded plastic and less floppy fabric. Also the neon piping is awesome for bag identification while looking really sharp!

I brought this bag on about 5 vacations and it hasn't done me wrong yet. It's very sturdy and solid and pretty much anything I need to fit in there will fit. The material is tough and durable and I'm pretty sure it's water resistant because I had it in the pouring rain and all my things were dry when I checked. It's a little heavy but still lighter than most bags this size. Also, I've gotten a few compliments on how nice of a bag it is. Deff recommend this bag for anyone thinking about it.

I try to travel at least once a year (usually twice) on an international personal trip. I've been doing this for the past 5 years and only travel using carry on luggage, this bag coupled with my Patagonia 26L backpack is the perfect combination to get the job done! As a woman, I've learned to skim down to the necessities when traveling. I use pack cubes and was able to fit 6 shirts, 2 jeans, 2 sun dresses, 2 shorts, 8 pairs of undies, sneakers/sandals, my curling iron, and toiletries along with souvenirs into this carry on luggage! (This was for a 2 week trip to Italy) If you know how to pack smart and play tetris with your belongings you can get a lot of use out of this luggage.

Very big and perfect for family trips.

The rolling thunder is an amazing bag. I've purchase them for all of my co-workers as they fit the low-profile description necessary for us when we travel. The bag is easy to move, it has plenty of handles and rolls smoothly compared to other bags of the same size. The compartments are convenient and the rolling thunder holds SO MUCH inside! I'll be using the rolling thunder until the wheels fall off! Seriously, there is no better bag for the price!

I just bought another one for our next trip to Europe. It's the perfect size for each of us. It goes easily in the overhead and rolls down the aisle without bumping into the seats. And it's pretty much waterproof.

Love this luggage. It's well made and durable. I take multiple trips overseas each year and it's held up great so far. I would say the only downfall is, it's kinda heavy to begin with. But I would say it's because it's durable.

Absolutely love this bag. I have had the earlier version for years and it's still going strong.

Great

I originally purchased the Rolling Thunder 36" and found that it was too large for some airlines. Downsized to the RT 30". Luggage was purchased for rugged overseas travel. Love the large, rugged wheels, blended soft side top and hard-case bottom, and sturdy pull out handle. This thing is built to last.

Great carry on bag. Plenty room. No need to check a bag at the airport again.

Great bag durable, water resistant for the back of the truck!

I chose this suitcase for a 3-week trip for my son's ski competitions. It is easy to maneuver in the airport and from the car to the hotel. Its durability makes it easy to pile other suitcases and ski bags on top in the car. It packs well, although it has few pockets. I've remedied that with smaller pouches that fit inside. My suitcase color is yellow which I love because it makes me smile and is easy to find among the sea of black suitcases. It does show the dirt and that's okay with me. It's a practical, sturdy, fun suitcase.

What I like the most about these products is durability, design and practicality. I have already bought several products of this brand and they are for life they are very resistant. greetings from Mexico.

A quality gift to my Son!

My son did not ask for this but I liked the idea of him traveling with a wheeled bag vs a duffle for overhead carrying plane trips. He was thrilled and he loves the durable material of the North Face bags.

Perfect mix of durability and luggage space.

I purchased 2 of the 36" bags 5 years ago for military deployments, since then they've been dragged around every corner of the earth. They've been to the Middle East, Africa, Europe, as well as around the US. Aside from some rough handling by TSA causing one of the zipper pulls to partially break off, these bags held up perfectly. It came time for my family to make an international move, so I purchased 6 more. All of the bags arrived in perfect condition, to include the few bottles of whiskey I had tucked away. Another huge perk is the waterproofing, our bags were stuck out in the snow for a couple hours, everything inside was completely dry. We also have a few of the carryon sizes for quick weekend trips that work perfect.
