This bag can pack waaaayyyy more than any person needs for a 10 day trip to europe (oops). Not only was the bag durable, it held a ton of my things - from boots, shoes, sneakers,6 pairs of jeans/pants, 3 jackets, and the list goes on. At the airport, they would ask me if I was "sure that it doesnt weight over 50lbs". Each time they were shocked. Go for it if you are an over packer like me, or traveling for longer than 10 days :)
