I got this at the PX on sale for about 20% off the price I see today on Amazon. It looked like a solid piece of gear, and I really needed the volume and the wheels. I thought it was perfect but a little use has revealed some flaws. First, the bag itself is heavy, probably about 8-9 pounds empty. Part of this weight are pads sewn into the sides and top, meant to provide rigidity to the sides and help the bag keep its shape. Problem is, the pads free-float within the compartments they have been sewn into, and tend to squish and fold, defeating their purpose and becoming dead weight. On my third trip using the bag, one of the rubber/plastic rails that runs the length of the bottom of the bag started to detach. Since these rails provide rigidity for the bag, its loss turned the bag into an unmanageable wet noodle. The fabric handle sewn into the end ceased to be of much use at that point, and pulling the bag became dragging the bag, despite the wheels. This fabric handle was never of much use anyway. Even before the bottom rail detached, trying to pull the bag using this handle was very awkward. It doesn't provide enough distance between you and the bag when walking, and it is sewn on too high on the bag, resulting in the bag contantly banging into the back of your legs as you walk along. I recommend getting a bag with a telescoping steel or aluminum handle, even if it means paying another $20-$50.
