I bought two bags, one for my bride and one for me as we plan to travel to Italy and need to minimize luggage.

We have both used it for an East Coast trip over the holidays from California and both had ample room for our clothing and necessities, including for our 2 year old grandson.

The weight distributes nicely and I was able to access my I Pad easily while traveling.

I highly recommend this bag to true "travelers", not tourists, and plan to use it for all traveling.
