Just took this on a trip to Boston and now have mad love for this suitcase. It's so light it was a piece of cake to lift it into the overhead bin on the train (the handle on the bottom helped, too), and when I encountered stairs (and I encountered a lot of them, as I took the subway a lot in Boston), it was easy to just reach down and grab the nice padded handle and carry it short distances. Even on bricks (yes, also encountered some of those), it was very stable. On better pavement, it just glides along behind you. I appreciated the built-in rubber on the telescoping handle -- it made pulling it easy and comfortable.

Compartments are as follows: small zippered section in front; larger zippered section in front (this holds 8.5x11 paper); mesh zippered section on inside of flap; mesh zippered section on one side of suitcase body; plastic zippered section on other side of suitcase body. All of these are just the right amount of sections to stash things that need to be easily accessed (the plastic section would be great for wet bathing suits), but not so many that you can't put as much stuff in because it's full of weird compartments. The main suitcase body has compression straps, which are handy. There are rings sewn into the two outside flaps that allow you to lock these, as well, if you need to -- I used this feature to stash my netbook in the large outer flap at one point.

The light weight of this suitcase makes a huge difference, and it's an amazing value for the price.

Lightest weight, largest bag and most economical case I could find to use every cubic inch allowed in an Aer Lingus overhead compartment. Ordered red, but got black (so I did not achieve the other objective of having a bag distinguishable among a zillion black bags on the belt). Not appointed with a lot of bells and whistles, but it does the job.

Nice use of the available space. Very light and maneuverable in airport and on the plane. Only critique would be the zipper on the main storage area of the luggage. It is a somewhat tricky to close sometimes.

I bought this as a gift for a friend and I chose the scarlet colored bag. She lives across the country from me so I didn't see it. She was happy with it but a black bag arrived.
