I purchased several years ago and used for multiple trips. I had no issues fitting in the overhead of all larger commercial jets (IE: 737, 757, MD-80, A-320) and the bag fit fine all ways (including wheels first that the airlines require). The bag is very well built and I just cannot see spending more than this for a carry on duffel. The wheels are re-inforced and material seems heavier than many I have seen. many pockets and expands easily.  Strong zippers and the handle zips shut which I like very much. Dispite this, on one of the trips the bottom of the bag was cut some how either by accident or on purpose so I did purchase another as it was hard to find a bag of this price and quality.
