My husband and I purchased 2 of these duffels for a recent trip to Cental America as we didn't want to check any bags. These fit perfectly in the airplane overhead bins with no issues. We both fit over a weeks worth of clothing, shoes and toilette in our duffels and didn't feel like we had to sacrifice taking anything just to make it all fit.

These bags are heavy duty with a large inner compartment, U-shaped opening, one good sized end pocket (I kept my toiletries bag in this pocket which made pulling it out for customs & TSA simple), and one large, expandable front pocket intended for wet and dirty items.

My only complaint might be that the shoulder strap is sewn to the bag itself rather than clipping on, so when it eventually tears or breaks that's it for the bag. Other than that the bag and zippers seem pretty heavy duty. I expect these will last for many trips to come.
