This is the second one of these bags our family owns. I would happily buy another and have recommended them to family. I have done 16 days of international travel out of this bag and it has fit in every overhead bin I have tried it in. My only want would be for a bit more support in the back/straps. I would not want to carry this bag for more than an hour the way it is designed. I think a nice backpacker support system would be worth the increase of weight.
