As a professional traveler (healthcare consultant), I travel often. My computer must go with me at all times, so a rolling bag takes the strain off of my back. Even though I am strong and healthy, a shoulder bag can get heavy and sweaty.
The checkthrough feature is AWESOME! I have done the checkpoint shuffle too many times to count, but since getting the checkthrough roller, I unzip, lay open, and breeze through. I am fully recombobulated long before my colleagues.
The only downside to the checkthrough roller is the lack of organization pockets. I get past this by using folders and organization packs from companies like Eagle Creek.
The bag fits in the overhead bins of even regional jets, although I have not tried turbo-props (I avoid those like the plague). The roller also attaches to the handles of my Eagle Creek 22" Switchback. This combination is more than enough for a week of travel, including leisure and athletic apparel.
The construction is solid and it rolls easilly. The handle has a lot of side-to-side flex, which is odd at first but does not pose any real problems. I expect this bag to be with me for many years.
The styling is very plain, but that is exactly what I like; I am not the kind of person who makes a statement with his bag. On the other hand, the bag does look well made and gives a good impression of the owner, in my opinion.
If you travel with your computer and need space for clothes or promotional materials, computer parts, etc., GET THIS BAG!"..." Read more
