I travel frequently, I am a shorter (5’4”) jeans and t shirt dude. this is great for "week" trips without lots of clothing. this bag has great pockets all around and is surprisingly large inside. made of scrabble material, comfortable to hold. Has an ID card slot on the rear. got wheels, straps and the telescoping luggage handle.

I just finished a one-month trip using this bag, and it worked well.

Pros:
Well constructed and nice looking. Easy to pick out on the carousel
Rolls easily.
Cheaper than average for a carry-on bag.
Carry handle on the top end (great for stairs and other places where it cannot be rolled).
Seven pockets in addition to main compartment (also a con).
Fairly light weight for capacity.
Cons:
If full, this bag exceeds most airline guidelines for carry-on. I had to convince a gate person that it could be compressed down to fit into an overhead, as the bag was not full (Why do some people get to carry on enough for a small army?).
Will not stand on end.
I would prefer a couple of large pockets instead of seven small ones. Two large and five small would have been better.

I’ve had this item for over three years (purchased Jan 2010).

– Others praise the many pockets, but for me they’ve proved to be more of a hassle. If you use more than a few pockets it is easy to forget which one you placed something in, so finding an item often entails opening and closing many pockets before finding it. Eventually I gave up and started to use just the top pocket and central pockets.

– Item does not stand on its own. I’ve tried balancing weight on the wheel side, but it still won’t stand on its own for long, meaning you can’t confidently pack it or leave it standing up.

– Soon after purchase the handle became difficult to close when it is fully extended. It requires a fair amount of force, I have to wind up and hit it with my palm to get it to “unlock” and close.

– Minor thing, but it is very noisy. When I’m traveling in a group others have pointed out the noise the wheels make compared to their luggage.

Since I started traveling more often for work I decided to upgrade to a higher quality bag. But if I didn’t travel often then at this price-point I could probably live with these drawbacks.
