This bag is 10 pounds after you pull it out of the box. I like that it has no zippers. Why? Try google OPEN LUGGAGE PEN and watch Youtube how baggage handlers can break into your zippered bags. I even broke into my Samsonite zippered bags very easily. Just pull the zipper handles back over the openings and the owner will never know what happened to their stuff. Don't buy any more zippered bags. Refund them. If can't write to your credit card company, Consumer Protection, and BBB for satisfaction. Ebags.com and Samsonite.com won't do so.
