I purchased this for a five day trip.  With smart packing, I was able to carry everything I needed, plus extra shoes.  The bag is lightweight and rolled easily.  I purchased this Carry-on specifically for the outside pockets so I could easily access papers and have a place to store my baggie of liquids/ toiletries so to quickly remove and replace them through security.  I am happy with the bag.  The price was right.  It was affordable and met my needs and expectations.
