perfect size
Used as my flight 'personal item' for a trip to Europe. Fit okay under Delta seats (but one flight with Delta they used a 'partner airline' and it didn't fit under that other airline's seat, luckily there was plenty of overhead compartment space on that flight, also the steward lifted it up for me).I put all my heavier items (liquids-bag, power pack, makeup, travel-umbrella, etc) in this bag so I wouldn't have to strain my problem-shoulder lifting those to the overhead (I put only clothes in a cloth-type backpack as my carry-on that I put in the overhead compartment). This mini-suitcase held a lot and had enough room to squeeze my tiny travel purse when I had to consolidate items to get on planes.Especially loved the size of this when at a hostel with lockable cabinets because it fit easily and left room for my backpack to also fit in the locker.The way this bag opens worked out fine (I worried about it before my trip), I could merely partially unzip the top when I didn't want to risk things falling out (like when digging out my neck cushion when I was on planes), and then at hostels I could unzip it all the way to lower the front flap and access everything. The mesh zipper bag (sewn in at bottom and with snaps on top) confines the items toward the bottom of the bag. The three pocket removable snapped in section against the front flap was useful for organizing small items (but for my needs I didn't find it useful to remove).The handle telescoped up and down without any problem, the two wheels rolled fine (tho of course limited in direction). I put the telescoping handle down and used the hand-handles when using stairs and escalators, or when getting on and off trains and buses, as soon as I got off I'd pull up the telescoping handle again and roll. So the telescoping handle got a LOT of use and worked quickly and smoothly every time.The outside zippered pockets were handy and useful, I put foodbars on one side, Kindle with earphones on the other side, and used the front zippered inner pocket for storing my locker combination lock, and the open area in the front zippered pocket area for stuffing my pant pocket contents while going through airline security.I used a safety pin as a zipper pull to unzip the lining fabric, and taped a flat wallet with emergency cards/cash/ids to the plastic hard bottom inner surface (not terribly secure but at least not just floating around in the bag contents).With my items packed, the total weight was 15 and a half lbs, about as heavy as I can carry, and heavy enough that frequently men (and sometimes younger women) would volunteer to carry it up stairs for me (I'm in my sixties).Altogether I am VERY happy with this bag.Ver másVer menos
