Western Pack 'The Tub' Rolling 17-inch Laptop Overnighter

I travel as a software trainer 100% of the time so finding the right laptop bag is a very important to me. I pack a small projector, 17" Dell laptop, Ipad2, all sorts of power cords, noise cancelling ear buds, files, miscellaneous office supplies, a medium size book, small calendar, protein bars and other "stuff." My main concern was finding a bag that would not only take the every day abuse of pulling on the handle, constantly opening and closing the zippers, shoving it in over head compartments but more importantly a bag that would fit under the seat of a Regional Jet ... and this bag worked perfectly for me. My last vertical bag did not hold up (zipper gave out in less than 1 year) but the size was perfect, the "Tub" was approximately the same size so it fit the bill. I use all the space for work hardware so there is no room for clothes. When I travel I stack my 22" Rollerboard on top of my laptop bag (better balance and portability) and this bag handles the weight displacement very comfortably. Having the double framed handle was a pre-requisite for me so I could stack my rollerboard. I strap the two together with no problems. I did customize my bag by sewing a key holder on the inside for when I go through TSA and for convenience. I do have 2 suggestions for Western Pack: 1. add a key holder and 2. offer this bag in a vertical model. I am more than pleased with my purchase and have already had people comment and ask me about it. This laptop bag is a great value for the money and yes I do highly recommend it.
