I put in much research before purchasing the Lipault 4 Wheeled Carry On, vacillating between the two wheeled and four wheeled versions. The bag initially appealed due to its lighter weight of 6 pounds, the newer version is even lighter at a listed 4.9 pounds. Very glad I settled on the four wheeled as I had a serious shoulder inquiry (from carrying the Lipault 15 inch Weekender bag on my shoulder) and this bag with its effortless gliding wheels took the pressure off the injury.
The carry-on measures 21.5" x 14" x 8", and the required size for an international carry on for many international airlines is 22" x 14" X 9". The beauty of the Lipault bag is that the measurements *include* the wheels so it was easy to fit it into the "check your carry-on size" tester at the airport and place in the overhead bin, not to mention very easy to wheel sideways and in front of me down the aisles in the aircraft, bringing many envious glances. Keep in mind the size and weight requirements for many of the international airlines. If you are traveling light and only taking a carry-on the weight is often limited to 15 lbs/7 kg thus it is difficult but not impossible to pack for a winter trip for 2 weeks in this bag- I would suggest if at all possible you wear or carry your heaviest items, e.g. boots and jacket, take 7 days of clothing and be prepared to do a load of laundry. Having traveled carry-on only in summer it would be easy to pack for 2 weeks not have to do laundry except for underwear.
The exterior pocket is a little difficult to get into, however this is not a bad thing considering this makes the pocket more secure.
Note to those also considering the Lipault 15" Weekender bag to sit on top of this carry-on: The 15" bag will fit nicely on the top of the 22" carry-on, however be certain to pack enough volume at the top of the bag to support its weight as the carry-on is soft sided. Also, when arriving at my destination via air and catching a train I had to quickly pick up the carry-on to run down several flights of stairs, this was impossible with the Weekender bag on the top. The Weekender had to be removed, slung over my shoulder, the telescoping handle put down, and the bag lifted by the handle. When in a hurry to catch a train this is *not* a quick move!
The purple is a beautiful color, and I garnered many compliments from the flight attendants/pilots when entering the plane. It might have had something to do with my color co-coordinated outfit. Would I purchase again? Yes.
