Beat the crap out of it for 6weeks!
"Bought last minute for my trip through Portugal, Spain and Marrakech because with 87 luggage options, LOL, I just did NOT have the right size! DEFINITELY heavier than I wish, but it was a rock star!! For the price, I would've been happier with different materials to lighten the load, but. . . . Checked on 6 Int'l flights. Multiple bus trips checked. Plus 14 days of daily manhandling as I walked 300k on the Camino de Santiago. 22 different hotels overall. Handles on the outside were awesome. Zippers were workhorses. Liked the interior pockets in the lid more than I thought. It's long enough, I would've liked a 3rd interior compression strap for all my crap. Wheels were great over cobbles, etc. The exterior zipper pocket wasn't useful since it is along the most full part of the bag and not large enough to be useful. Would've helped me to have had a useable zippered pocket along the top when the bag stood up. All in all, I'm thrilled with the bag and glad I splurged on it because the size was perfect to give me "creature comforts" on the Camino and a few options for my other weeks without giving me toooo much space for even more junk. . . . and it even still looks great!"
