This back pack does what I need it to do and weighs 13 ounces! I am trying to get my travel stuff under 10 pounds so I do NOT have to mess with a Wheeler. Our time in Venice, Italy was ruined by too much luggage! Travel hell is doing STEPS in Venice with two Wheelers and two more Carry Ons. Travel hell is dragging a heavy Wheeler across MSP airport and barely making your flight...

Word to the wise: This item is where you start! It is a fact of travel physics that ONE OUNCE of something placed INSIDE luggage turns into a full POUND that you have to carry!

Appears to be well made. Zippers works smoothly. Very small stuff might [will] fall through so use ziplock bags for it. Damp items are less likely to mildew when inside this pack. The sliders on the straps are small and may be a weak point BUT holding up 10 pounds won't tax them. Has a haul loop. Handy for placing it into the overhead and extracting fast when you get off the plane. Shove it under the seat for that matter! Life time warranty from Jansport but I bet you won't need it. Cheap for what you get.

Update: Used this for a trip to Clearwater,FLA  in June. Just about perfect bag. Tucked under the seat just so. No problems and no mishaps.  Good bag.  Taking it to San Francisco, Seattle and Alaska in August.  I'll post results of that trip too.
