I had a four day trip to take and I bought this set because I did not want to have to check in my bag. When I took the luggage out of the box it looked too small. However, once I started packing, I was surprised by how much was able to fit in this luggage.  I had one pair of dress shoes, sneakers, and flip flop. I packed my workout gear and three outfits, and other essentials. I could have carried more. I will say that you do need to fold your clothing in a way that will allow you to maximize the space. I would recommend rolling method for most items. This luggage is perfect for those of us who are not trying to bring our whole closet with us.
