Always check with your airline to confirm carry-on restrictions, and prepare to check your bag if asked.

3.0 out of 5 stars A real disappointment, August 11, 2009

I purchased this bag in November and have used it only half a dozen times, checking it three of those times. Already one of the corners has pulled apart and a zipper pull has fallen off. While it's an attractive bag and designed for flexibility, the materials and workmanship are quite poor. Stay away!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good for carry-on - Disappointing bag, May 7, 2010

The description of the bag sounds promising but the result is very disappointing. I used this bag once as carry-on luggage for a business trip and I gave it away upon my return.

* One side of the bag is relatively deep but very little can fit into the other side. Also, that second side does not fully zip open. You have to "stuff" items into that section. Anything put in those pockets will stick out and make it extremely difficult to fit in the overhead storage space on the plane.
* The suitcase is *extremely* prone to tipping over. I would imagine that issue is even worse when the pockets are extended.
* The handle is very cheap, would not consistently extend to full length, and does not provide a solid base for the bag.
* The bag is heavier than advertised -- not a lightweight piece.
*A lot of effort went into "storing" the handle and allowing a zipper closure to protect it -- a total waste of space if this is intended as a carry-on suitcase.

I find it hard to believe that this was designed by someone who travels regularly. Who would want to drag a bag through an airport that is constantly tipping over and the handle won't lock into place? I expected more from a bag supposedly designed by a travel expert.

2.0 out of 5 stars Handle broke almost immediately, January 30, 2009

Nicely designed pack, but a little plastic part that connects the rolling handle to the bag broke on the very first trip I took with it. Thus, when I pull the handle out, only one side connects with the bag anymore.
