Durable and light-weight for its ruggedness; easy to roll, strong zippers, comfortable handle which zips away when retracted, and stands up well. This is the best of the 4 rolling duffels I've owned, with primary use for snorkeling and resort-style 1 week-long vacations. The drop bottom keeps the snorkeling and beach gear and shoes separated from your clothes.  The capacity is great for a 26-inch luggage, comparable to other 30-inch duffels I've owned.  This is because the top compartment is rather tall; plenty of space for souvenirs. The tie-downs in the drop bottom are very helpful; and I wish there were tie-downs in the top compartment. I use an outer luggage strap to cinch down the top compartment, and helps identify your luggage on the carousel.  I highly recommend this.
