I bought this bag for my daughter as she needed a piece of luggage that could be stored in a very small space. She is involved with a research project, and she will be on a small research ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for almost three months. She needed to be able to pack enough clothes and gear (including foul weather gear) for the voyage, but will have little space for storage, hence the need for a bag that occupies on a fraction of her storage space.

The bag arrived enclosed in a zippered pouch that also acts as a container for hygiene products such as shampoo and deodorant. I suppose it would be possible to fold the bag up and return it to the pouch, although I think that would be an extremely difficult task. Upon inspection, we found a nicely constructed bag with adequate zippers and a lot of room to pack in. (We bought the extra large size).

The bag has proven itself. My daughter was able to pack all she needed with room left to spare. In addition, she has flown on several flights and the bag and its contents have survived the handling by the airport personnel quite well. I anticipate that she will obtain many years of service from this bag and recommend it to anyone who needs a light weight, yet strong, and inexpensive bag.
