UGH-O a cross-over bag that is a carry-on bag with wheels and doubles as a backpack; this can't be good.  So I take it out of the box, quality is excellent but I expect nothing less from Thule.  The bag is very nice, material made very well and says it's water repellent.  Water repellent huh, we'll see about that.  Took the bag outside, turned on the hose and let me kids have at it!  After  5-10 minutes;  YUP its water repellent. The overall functionality is excellent, wheels:  perfect, construction of the bag perfect.  The bag will not easily tip over.  The backpack strap has metal hardware so it should last for a while.  Very professional looking and very easy on the eyes so you can use this piece for business and personal.

If you don't know how to pack, this suitcase is not for you.  If you're a heavy packer, this suitcase is not for you.  This suitcase is perfect for me.  I pack light on my business trips so I need something that looks great, maneuvers well, can turn into a backpack when I want, take a beating and can fit in an overhead compartment on a plane.

The bag ROCKS only if you travel light.
