Bought this bag for my husband.  We have gone on several weekend trips.  He used his new bag and I used my smaller Eddie Bauer bag (Not a Rolling Bag) I had always thought my  bag was big enough to hold everything I took until he started packing his bag. Not so anymore....I had to put some of my stuff in his.  He even had his pillow in the bag and still plenty of space for my junk and empty side pockets.  I have to carry my pillow.  Anyway after several trips and having my belongings scattered between 2 bags, I had enough.....Ordered one for myself but in Classy Red. All my stuff fits plus my pillow.  Oh and yes this is a very durable bag!!
