I didn't want to write a review until I used it and I just took it on a work trip. It's actually roomier than it seems and I love that one side has a zipper compartment. I was able to take an entire weeks worth of clothes, shoes and toiletries with me and still had a little room left to bring back some souvenirs from the city I was in. It was easy to roll through the airport and not too heavy to pick up and put in the scanner at security or in the overhead bin on the plane. It stinks airlines made the size of a carry-on bag smaller and this one provides plenty of room while meeting their new requirements. I'm glad I bought it, especially since I have a few more work trips coming up.
