The reviewer notes that the wheels do not lock, meaning the bag could roll away on four wheels, while the side feet prevent this. The reviewer reports smooth wheels that transition well between two- and four-wheel modes and handled snow, ice, and varied terrain during testing. The reviewer finds the aluminum exterior adds substantial weight, making this case noticeably heavier than most luggage with comparable capacity.
