This bag is perfect for my one week business trips out of town. With the variation of overhead spaces, especially on the MD-80's and the cramp space on small regional jets, this bag can go everywhere with me: I don't check it in, nor do I check it valet at the gate. The design and style compliments my business look with the "tear drop" shape and the single rail handle makes it look slick. One pleasant surprise is the bag is hardsided on the bottom, and I this gives me confidence that this bag is durable on the high traffic areas. Upon closer inspection, the welt and seams are put together very well. One draw back I found is the zipper system is unable to be locked. Maybe Travelon can come up with the next generation bag so you can use a TSA lock.
