It was perfect for a long vacation that took me to both damp, chilly Ireland and hot, sweaty Santorini, Greece. Sweaters, boots, and rain gear fit along with bikinis, dresses, and summer hiking gear. And, thanks to the expandability, I was able to bring back three bottles of amazing Santorini wine, and all the compartments have double zippers, which means I could lock it nights we crashed in a hostile. It came through the many flights and locales very well, too. Still a lot of use left, and I can't wait for the next adventure.
