FAQ's for WI Bags - Independent Sales

How do I tell if a bag can be carried or checked on an airline?

With the many changes regarding flying, luggage size and luggage fees, it is best for you to check with the airline you are ticketed for. You may want to check the Federal regulations at www.tsa.gov. If you wish a rule of thumb, add the height, width and length together. For carry-on, the airlines generally accept anything under a total of 45 inches. For checked bags, a total of 62 inches is generally permitted without additional charges. For your special trip, it might be worth paying that extra charge and having what you need, or consider shipping ahead via a ground carrier.

HEY! Where's the catalog?

All the products we sell are subject to availability. Since the majority of these products are "selected" quality items, we do not feature each manufacturer's full catalog. If you find something on their Web site, we can get it for you. We make every effort to find a product that will meet your needs.

What about returns?

We service the warranty for workmanship as explained on our TERMS page. Return defective merchandise to us at your expense and we will cover the replacement return shipping.

What do we mean by WATERPROOF?

Well it is not a floatation device.The product has a PVC backing as part of its manufacturing process which gives the fabric a natural waterproofing. Of course zippers and stitching break through this PVC backing and if left in standing water it will leak thru eventually. The zippers are protected by design on some bags with flaps over them. Wind driven moisture will penetrate if stitching and zippers are exposed.
TIP: Use a large cargo bag or rooftop carrier to hold other bags that contain your items to be protected.

Just what is a "denier" and what does "600 denier" mean?

The denier system is a direct-management type, employed internationally to measure the size of silk and man-made filaments and yarns. The denier number indicates the weight in grams (one gram = .04 once) of 9.000 meteres (one metre = 39.37 inches) of filament or filament yarn. For example, if 9.000 metres of yarn weigh 15 grams, it is 15-denier yarn. Thus if 9.000 metres of yarn weigh 100 grams, it is 100-denier yarn and much coarser then the 15-denier yarn. So a smaller number indicates a finer yarn. SOURCE: Britannica.com
