I had seen similar cases selling for $400 and more, so I was a bit skeptical about this one, but decided to give it a try. I am very pleased with my choice. The color makes it easy to spot on the rare occasions when you have to check the bag. The case is not completely rigid, but seems much more rugged than cloth or plastic alternatives. As the case opens up fully packing is easy. The organization is ideal for keeping clean clothes on one side and dirty on the other.
The capacity is somewhat smaller than you might expect, the cost of having four wheels. The extra wheels, though, make it much easier to deal with when you're waiting in a long line to get on the plane.
The size is great for international flights with more stringent restrictions on carry on size.
The built in, TSA conforming lock is a nice touch.
Any case you buy today is a compromise between the requirements of fitting in the overhead compartment, the ease of moving through crowds, and the ability to pack what you need. If you travel where weight limits are severe, as I do, you will like the convenience of this rugged, lightweight, maneuverable bag.
