5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Bag
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2017
Excellent bag. I picked this one because of the wheels. We had a trip planned for Rome & Florence and I knew the sidewalks there were rough and they didn't let me down. The bag traversed through some pretty rough roads and cobblestone, something I didn't trust to a spinner although I did see a lot of other people using them. Be aware though most of those people were dragging the bag on the canvas basically because the wheels are such a small profile that once you lean the bag so far, well geometry ya know.
Average size guy here, I was able to fit 4 pairs of jeans, 8 pairs of boxers, 9 pairs of socks, 14 shirts (long and shirt sleeve T's), half dozen packs of 3oz cashews and my toiletries. That was the packing for the trip there, was a good amount of room left, I hadn't even used the lid storage. Bag weighed 22 lbs when finished packing. Delta allowed it from DAL to ATL and from ATL to AMS. From there it was Air France from AMS to CDG and CDG to FLR. Air France didn't say anything about the size of the bag but it was tight fitting it into the overheads.
Trip back I had souvenirs and liquids greater than 3.4 oz so I knew we were going to check. I unzipped the expansion compartment and it surprisingly made a huge difference. Our first flight leaving FLR was through KLM and they didn't play around. I watched them check every single bag for size and weight, if it didn't comfortable fit in the box it was checked. I didn't attempt to carry on because of liquids. Bag handled the ride back to DAL like a champ, no damage at all.
Excellent bag, held 7 days of clothes easily, great wheels and well built. The compression straps inside help a lot. Handle is comfortable and I did use the different heights at times depending on speed of walking and congestion of area. Highly recommend but it is a gamble if you're trying to use it on international airlines . I was able to get it for $140 and consider this a 5 star purchase.
