Not like the previous design
I have no clue why North Face "updated" the design and made it less functional. I wish I had the opportunity to purchase 5 duffels the previous version. Major drawbacks of the current version are the lack of a telescoping handle, a slanted main cargo compartment which makes packing and searching for items tedious, and the lack of end compartments. I am currently looking at other brands which seem to have better options but I'd much rather North Face bring back the previous version.

No handle and internal support is sketchy
The no extendable handle is somewhat of a setback but it's not terrible. I've found ways to work with it. My biggest complaint in that there is a support inside the bag that is a metal rod about 1/4 in diameter. The ends of the rod are decently sharp and those ends slide into a a small 1 inch pocket made of nylon strapping. Pretty much every time I use the bag the metal support slips out of the little pocket and goes around tearing up everything in its path. It's put holes in shirts, and rubbed scratch marks into various harder items of mine and I now end up putting cardboard in the bag to prevent it from tearing things up. The metal rod cannot be removed, it is riveted in on the back of the bag. If the sides were also riveted in it would be a whole lot better. Not sure why they went with such a janky way of holding the rod into place on the ends, but it simply doesnt work. The waterproof coating, hard/ durable plastic shell bottom, and size of the bag are great, but I'm too nervous to put expensive gear into it for me to recommend the bag to others. for the price I would have expected this to be better designed.

Everything You Need in a Heavy Duty Roller, Nothing You Don'
I'm a competitive equestrian, and use this bag around the country in various environments and weather. This bag is awesome - it has enough pockets and pouches to be useful and orgranized, while still keeping them low profile and out of the way for the main luggage compartment. The soft neoprene handles make it easy to pull behind, from airports to dirt and gravel competition grounds. Best purchase I've made.

Love it! Rolling Thunder 36
We've used the North Face Rolling Thunder 36 on car, plan, and train trips up and down the U.S. West Coast, supporting up to four people (two adults, two kids). Where can I buy replacement wheels?

Massive sturdy long-lasting
I'm a big fan of the Rolling Thunder series. Used 2 previous versions of these... as the sizes have since changed I had to size up a bit. While the capacity is amazing, you have to be a bit careful with the standard airplane weight limit if you pack this to the brim. My one complaint so far would be the positioning of the grab handles - North Face please add back the central handle to make this easier to roll around.
