Very study bag with the right dimension for travel in Europe
"Overall: This is a great piece of luggage. We took it on a 3 week tour of Europe as a carry-on and it held up well. I was thankful that it fits the more strict European limits for airline carry-ons. Design: I could NOT find a bag other than this one that fit the smaller dimensions as well as being convertible to a backpack - so props there. I really liked the double armed telescoping handle - much more easier to pull than a single handled on, but it does take up some space in the main compartment. The fabric and zipper are sturdy - held up to packing it tightly. Liked the different compartments. Backpack straps VERY easy to attach. I didn't end up using it on the trip, but I can see how it could be very handy. I ended up just using the handles which are one the sides to just pick it up and carry it. The construction is very solid over all and feels like it will hold up well. Cons: One of the wheels is making a rattling sound - which makes me wonder how long the wheels will last. And if you're going on an extended trip - you don't want any of the wheels giving out. Ot The design of the main compartment is a little interesting. The sides on the bottom come up higher than the sides towards the top of the bag. Meaning the zippered front cover comes over the sides more towards the top. It made it a little more challenging to pack than a "normal" bag. Cons: I took off 1 star because one of the wheels is acting up - it makes a rattling sound and I don't know how long they're going to hold up for."
