I am a frequent traveler (about 200,000 miles a year) and I was looking for a bag to replace my tired carry-on. I had used several Timbuk2 messenger bags and thought I'd try this out. The bag looks great, typical Timbuk2 style and fabrics. Size is great for carry-on and it fits nicely into overhead bins on normal aircraft (not "express" regional jets). I would, however, not buy this bag again. It is poorly engineered and has several critical flaws that make it very difficult to use. First, it is not designed to be fully packed; when the main compartment is full the second top compartment can hardly hold anything. In addition, when the bag is full the bag "tweaks" in such a way the handle cannot be raised or lowered. The bag also tends to open itself when full. Secondly, the bag deformed around the wheel and a wheel fell off within one month (about 6 trips). This bag looks good and works well if used lightly and not packed full. I would not recommend for a frequent traveler or someone who tends to fill a bag to its limit. I had much better experience with Osprey products.
