My trusty ol' Lands End carry on died after 16 yrs. Actually my son killed it after overstuffing it with new threads he bought on shopping spree in Paris so can't really hold a grudge. Anyway when shopping for a new wheeled carry-on my top priority was that it fit in overhead compartments wheels first even in those smaller bins. So far so good on two domestic flights I took this month. Seems well made, pockets and zippers in the right places. Zippers seem sturdier than my previous so maybe I will get 20 yrs out of this one. As for size I'm a light packer but on a recent 4nite trip to Orlando for a conference I fit formal business attire plus 2 workout outfits and stuck my laptop in outside zipper compartment and had room to spare
