These bags are not good value. I was willing to pay a high price because I thought they would last a long time, but their lifespan turned out to be quite pitiful.
I have both the upper and lower market bags. Both use wire down the seams to keep them rigid. In both, within less than 6 months of regular but not daily or very rough use, the wire pushed through the corner seams. When the wire came through the bottom corner of the bigger bag I thought I must have scraped it and, though it seemed pretty poor construction not to allow for the odd scrape, I blamed myself. That's definitely not the case for the small one, which has not been scraped or even heavily loaded at any point: the wire popped through all by itself and, because it's quite short, actually fell out. This seems like a major design flaw to me. The bags don't completely stop working without the wire stiffeners, but they sure don't look great, especially with the wire sticking half out. There's a risk of scratching yourself or others with the sticking out ends, too.
Their main advantage is that they fit the Travoy trailer reasonably well. However, if you have both, then you'll need to remove the top one or slip the bottom one off its top lugs if you want to put something large in it, because the small bag will get in the way. It's not just height. The gap between them is big enough to slip most shopping in, but anything close to the width and breadth of the bag won't fit with the small bag in place.
