I am very satisfied with this product because I travel a lot, for varied periods of time, and need something that can be either expanded and checked, or rolled aboard as carry on. The fabric is durable and the hardware sturdy. The handle at the base of the bag is ideal for lifting the case into overhead lockers and internally there are enough compartments, and not too many, to keep my belongings easily accessible. The backpack straps option is very useful for hands free manageability of multiple additional baggage so I don't find myself struggling with too many suitcases around the airport. The only downside, in my opinion, is the absence of TSA approved locks which give you that peace of mind when you are checking baggage. I was disappointed with the ordering process because the webpage showed that the product was in stock. In reality, it wasn't, which delayed delivery until AFTER I got back from the trip I had planned using it for. Overall I am very happy. The item arrived in excellent condition and the price was very reasonable for what the product is.

I've used this bag a couple of times already for 3-4 day long-weekend trips. It's a great bag as it fits overhead compartment easily. If you expand the bag, however, it may not fit in smaller aircrafts. I like the 2 separate big compartments. The bag is very light, the wheels are very quiet, and steering is easy to maneuver. There's an additional small compartment on top that makes it easier to store your bag of liquids for easy access at the airport (do they even bother check for this anymore?). I highly recommend this bag for weekend travel or even up to 5-7 days worth of clothes (if u're only packing one pair of shoes). Bag appears to be durable but time will tell...
