This is the best travel bag I have ever purchased. The size and shape are perfect. I fly budget airlines a lot, and no matter how big I have packed this bag, it ALWAYS fits in the size checker at the gate. It’s built like a rectangle so when you smush it into those things or under a plane seat it will conform to the true rectangle shape and it has neverrrr failed me. I have had this bag and 3 other sizes/variants for almost 8 years and have never had an issue, tear, rip, or any damage. No matter how much I have to put in my bag I never doubt it because it expands a bit especially at the top it doesn’t just stay flat you could have a sweatshirt on top that’s super bulky and makes the bag stuffed and it still zips EVERY TIME. Literally even when it’s filled to the max it’s still so easy to open and close again, or slide a water bottle on the inside and easily get it out. The ONLY flaw is that when it’s filled to the max it can be hard to access the side zippers because they are flush to the bag but like I said even when filled it’s so easy to access stuff on the inside. I cannot say enough positive things about this. I got the little pouch attachment for my keys and AirPods which is such a great addition. Also because it’s rectangular, it sits perfectly on top of a suitcase.
