I bought this bag for a 3 week trip to Patagonia and it far exceeded my expectations.  On past trips I carried two conventional wheeled bags and wanted one bag for all my travel needs but still be able to stay within the 50 pound limit.  I was totally amazed by how roomy this duffle is and yet still relatively lightweight, weighing just under 11 pounds.  Yet it is extreemly well constructed and rugged.  I took a total of 6 flights on the trip and there is no evidence of any wear at all, although in fairness there should be no wear at this point.  The big thing I liked is the separate zipped compartment in the bottom of the bag where it holds a LOT of clothing and other gear.  The top compartment is great for shoes, rain gear, sweaters and anything you don't mind getting a bit wrinkled.  There are three other zipped compartments also which come in handy for misc items.  It is very easy to stay well organized with this duffle!!!  The bottom line is I got everything I needed to take on this trip in this one bag and still came in at 47 pounds, which amazed me.  The wheels roll very easily and are designed into the bag somewhat which should reduce the potential for getting broken when being tossed around.  Another big plus is the top handle which makes it much easier to handle the bag and load in/out of car trunks or van storage space.  I highly recommend this duffle - it is far superior to any other I researched and I spent a lot of time reviewing various rolling duffles.
