I really liked this bag because I was able to fill it will all my cloths, etc and only wanted to carry one bag. However, the bag's zipper literally broke the second time I zipped it up. I was at the airport and had to take some items out to lower the weight (I was over the 50lbs limit)and one of the zippers broke into pieces. I did not think the bag was overly full or the volume was that great either. Fortunately, I was able to use the zipper on the other side and it held up with no problems. Hopefully I will not have this problem on the return trip, since I am out of zippers.
