I didn't buy this bag through Amazon, but I have to write a testimonial anyhow. It, without a doubt, is the best bag I've ever owned. I purchased it on a super big clearance in a ski shop, for so little that I had to get it just to try it out. I thought, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. No money really lost.

That was five years ago. I fly about once a month, and that bag has been on every single flight. I can't believe how much it holds! It even expands to hold more! A lot more!!!

It's a clamshell, which is also nice. I can pack both sides independently. They have a zippered cover, then you close the clam shell. I've even crammed more stuff between the zippered closures. On occasion, this bag has held more than 70lbs of weight (yes, I paid a fortune in overweight luggage fees), but nothing has ever happened to it. The wheels are still perfect. The handle is still perfect. There isn't a rip in it, even though it's absolutely filthy at this point.

One day, I'll buy a new one. I keep saying I'll do so when this one finally breaks. That may take forever!
