This item was purchased back in Sep. 2009.

Pros: very light weight, covered with water resistant stain resistant extremely strong ballistic nylon, lack of compartmentalization allows one to pack one's own way, it's completely open box design allows one to pack a lot of stuff (I can pack 2 weeks worth of stuff in this 24" luggage), all pockets and the main compartment can be locked using a TSA lock.

Cons: shiny chrome bling/trim on handles and wheels may attract thieves/attention, shiny chrome bling/trim will just end up being scratched up by rough machine and human baggage handlers, and the inside removeable suit/dress holder if left attached to the luggage folds out past the opened luggage instead of over the opened luggage.
