Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This bag has been mine for 6 months and been through plenty of air and auto travel-- up and down stairs, over loud tile floors, etc. It's a hell of a bag. Reviews that are written too soon after purchase are not helpful-- I felt my review after 6 months might be helpful. 1. Black canvas material is not just adequate, but extremely durable. You can rake a house key across the face of this bag and not damage it. 2. Handles made of canvas are attached for occasional carry. I loop another bag with additional gear over this one when I travel to take advantage of the wheels-- then when I hit a flight or two of stairs I grab the canvas loop handles while the telescope drag handle is extended and extra bag is looped over the telescope extended handle-- very durable. 3. Height, width, depth dimensions fit under airline seat and in overhead compartments of the small commuter jets that the airlines fly. 4. Three compartments-- each large enough to fit a laptop. I travel with two laptops and an iPad. In addition to the three zipped compartments there is a front compartment for additional items-- pens, receipts, papers, etc. 5. Sliding telescope handle for dragging/wheeling carriage is of the same quality as nearly every other such bag. This telescope handle is not sufficiently strong to be lifted and repeatedly carried up stairs by the telescope handle-- the telescope handle will fail at some point after much use/abuse in this fashion-- so don't carry it that way. 6. Wheels are my only "not ideal" point about this bag. The wheels are made of a rubber compound that is only average. If you are running after a rental car bus and drag the wheels sideways across concrete or asphalt streets and sidewalks the wheels will sustain those flattened spots around the wheel that make loud thumping noises when you return to hard floor surfaces to roll it in conventional/normal use. There are bags with wheels made from better rubber compounds that better resist abuse. Not a deal breaker-- If you are careful to not drag the bad sideways when running fast while rolling the wheels with telescope extended, then this is not a problem. The bag is a very good one. Buy it and enjoy excellent utility.
