Delivers exactly what I wanted!
I have three trips under my belt with this bag now. I feel comfortable calling it a great carry-on.Its wheels are the smoothest of any 8-wheel bag I've ever used, which is almost a drawback because any push gets it in motion and it rolls downhill faster than I can walk. It is the easiest bag to roll through an airport, even with my laptop bag securely on it. It doesn't tilt or stop going over bumps and transition areas, and I rarely have to angle it on two wheels even when rolling uphill on the jetway. It is very maneuverable even down the aisle of an old A320. It saves me from a lot of back and shoulder fatigue.It's extremely sturdy but still light enough that I had no issue with lifting it in the overhead compartment or fear gate-checking it. The rubber corner blocks keep it in place on the shelves of the airport/rental car shuttle, but do not keep it on its wheels in those shuttles or it will roll from side to side.I have had no airline issue (flying domestic) with overhead stowage (Boeing & Airbus), and gate-checked it once. It rolls just fine and relatively quietly on tarmac, too.It keeps everything in place on the inside within each compartment. The removable divider is great to help uniformly compress the clothes on the retractable handle side when used in tandem with the Y-strap. That Y-strap design is excellent and works far better than the plastic snap system in my previous bags.The soft return handles and effortless closing mechanism are also terrific. I had moved away from zipper closure with my previous bag but the closing mechanism of that bag was less than optimal. In contrast, the Level8 closing mechanism is simple, effective, and efficient. Because it doesn't rely on a zipper, it doesn't expand. That hasn't been a problem, even when adding a souvenir 500ml glass bottle on one of the return trips, thanks to the Y-strap compression.I got it in black. It might sound dull but it looks purposeful yet simple, understated and well-built. I added an orange name tag in a shade similar to the Level8 logo and accent details to make it standout just a little. It shows very little scuffing.This bag was worth every penny. It improved my travel experience in more ways than I can include in a review, and I enthusiastically recommend it for frequent travelers.Ver másVer menos
