I looked at all of the comments good and bad and decided to spend the extra to get what looked like a sturdy large case, though everyone said that the 18 inch size was perfect for the overhead at the airport.  Well they were right.  This LITTLE BIG GUY is perfect for an overnight or an extended stay.  I packed 4 thick sweat pullovers, two jackets, three slacks, socks and underwear in this bag and it swallow everything with no complaint.  And best of all, it was a perfect fit in the overhead on American Airlines.  Plus the LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG HANDLE is really great.  Some bag handles drive me nuts they are made for short arms.  I'm 6'5" and the telescoping handle was long enough for my height.  FANTASTIC BAG, GET IT!!!
