This is a great bag:  it is organized very well and appears quite sturdy in construction.  I have the 21" TLS Mini wheeled duffel and love it.  This weekender is about the same size as the 21" Mini.  I guess I did not expect it to be the same size.  I fear that it will be too much on my back to carry once I have it loaded.  If you are looking for a good sized carry-on without wheels and are comfortable carrying a large load on your back, then I recommend this one.
