I needed a smaller bag for shorter trips that I could put in the overhead compartment by myself. This is PERFECT. Here's what other people have complained about, and my responses: (1) No spinner wheels. OK, if you want a spinner, get one. It's clear from the photos this has two slightly-internal wheels at the back to pull along behind you. The little blocks at the front allow this bag to sit upright without tipping, and the slightly-internal wheels pull along behind me in the airport or the narrow airplane aisle perfectly. Spinner wheels stick out, and get stuck as I try to lift into overhead (I am elderly and not strong). Also, pulling along behind is easier for me. It's incredibly light weight, and even I can put it into the overhead easily. (2) People complain it doesn't fit under some airlines' seats. Clearly, even if it did fit under the seat on some planes, it would fill that area completely. Get a smaller bag to go under seat! (3) People don't like the handles. But many bags this size only have one handle to pull it back out of the overhead. Having the two longer handles that attach to both back and front of the bag gives that combined-handle more control, plus the longer handles makes it easier to grab if the bag shifts to the back of the overhead. Perfect. (4) People have noted it's NOT expandable. Yup, that's right. Bad description. (5) People don't like that the opening flap doesn't like to stay open. I agree, it doesn't. But I just push something against it to make it stay open, or put the bag next to a wall so I can tuck that flap between bag and wall. The reason it doesn't like to stay open is that the zipper opening comes down over the top of the bag, making the opening LARGER. That's of great help. So, big deal, prop something so it stays open, and you get a VERY large opening to put things in and get things out of. A plus. OTHER THINGS TO LIKE about this bag: Besides being light weight, easy for someone like me to get in/out of overhead, and perfect size for shorter trips, the teal color is beautiful and differentiates it from all the other black bags without being too bright. I love the X-style garment straps inside to keep contents from shifting. Other bags this smaller size don't have any straps inside. I like the large extra pocket on the outside - I can fit a light sweater or paperwork in there. (Advice - that pocket is a good size for a computer but I don't recommend that - I put my computer in my much-smaller bag for under the seat because the overhead compartment gets very hot and that's not good for computers.) The fabric is very good quality and this looks like it's going to last. Other bags are more like thin-fabric duffle bags, but this is sturdy fabric. Also, the bottom holds it's shape and won't drag on the floor like the wheeled duffle-bag ones can. Overall - I have tried and looked at many other bags for this shorter-trip purpose, and this one is great! Highly recommend.

I’m SO happy I pulled the trigger on this purchase!!!!
I fly quite a few times a year and always stuff a gym bag that will fit under the seat to avoid the absolutely RIDICULOUS $60 baggage fees (from at least the cheaper airlines, Spirit/Frontier). Any other frequent flyer who has carried a shoulder bag knows it gets heavy QUICK. So I decided to be a bit spoiled and find a roller bag that can still fly free under the seat. I quickly found a few bags I loved, but with nothing but conflicting reviews; “It did fit under Spirit’s seat!” “It did NOT fit under Spirit’s seat, got charged!” and some even had photos, but quite a few people we flat out don’t trust the other reviews.Even though this one was not my top pick, it had the best reviews and I didn’t see anyone saying the measurements were a lie (like so many other bags I saw said). So, I pulled the trigger on it and I am unbelievably happy with the results! I took as many photos as I could think of, things I really wanted to see/see more of in order to feel confident in my purchase. I took photos of both the exterior and interior measurements (sorry if it’s hard to tell what side I’m measuring, one hand for the camera and a flimpsy tape measure proved difficult). I even mock-packed the bag for my upcoming May trip (so I know that it can fit everything I need, while still in the return period, especially since I am a BIG overpacker!) I was able to fit 11 outfits, toiletries, my purse, headphones for the flighs and a pair of sandals (I always wear my bigger shoes, like sneakers or boot, when flying to save room in packing and have socks on for TSA shoe removal).Specifically the 11 were:8 shirts3 dresses (one was a thick material too)1 pair of jeans2 pairs of shorts2 bathing suit tops1 bathing suit bottom1 Fuzzy pj pants10 pairs of underwear2 bras2 pairs of sockSandalsMake up bagToiletriesMy purseheadphonePoint is, if you’re looking for an underseat roller bag, this is your bag. It IS the measurements they say it is and if my overpacking a** can fit everything in this bag, I can assure you anyone can! 😂
