I was searching and searching for a cute bag within a reasonable price range and I'm glad that I found this one! It's easy to identify, roomy, easy to use and best of all-it has wheels! I used it on a trip from CA to IA and back (I know, who wants to go to IA when you live in CA, lol) and it worked great. As usual I packed far more than I needed, but it fit everything. The description says its 22 inches long, but in reality it 22.5 which concerned me because travel on bags are suppose to be 45 inches total when you add height, width and length. LAX didn't bat an eye so that suited me just find. On a side note, we were the last group to board so by the time I got on there wasn't any room in the overhead compartments. Not wanting to check my bag, which is why I got this size to begin with, I shoved the bag between my legs and threw my coat over it so they wouldn't take it away. Granted I'm not some big guy, but I slept from LA to Chicago like that with no problem. Luckily it was a pliable duffel bag so it had some give. Lastly, the ONLY things I would change about this bag is I would like a more cushioned shoulder strap (if you don't load down your bag this won't be a problem though, lol) and I wish they would have the bottom and the side with wheels black so when you set it down it didn't get dirty. It's easily cleaned but still, it could be improved; and I wish they had made the side with wheels a little more sturdy so when you leave it standing it stayed, packing more solid on that side of the bag will help though.
