It is ideal to have all of my luggage in a carry-on given baggage fees, so like many people I have adjusted to packing in minimal space.  Airlines have become more and more picky about the size, but this Maxlite seems perfect to fit with a little room to spare for bulging.  Compared to my previous carry on, it is remarkably lighter and easier to move around.  There aren't a ton of pockets or dividers, with just the basic straps inside.  That is perfect for my organization style and prevents any unneeded weight or space.  It is very generic looking and could be dressed up in some way to make it easier to identify on a carousel should it be force checked.  The material is resistant to ripping with normal use.

The only thing that might bring this down is breaking prematurely, which I can only test by using it for years.  I will let you know here if it does have issues.
