I've had this bag for about 5 months and 80,000 miles now, and it still looks new. I also have a ORV 30 and they both are unbelievable bags. I just bought a tarmac 22" carry on and bet it lives up to my expectations.

Eagle creek cant be beat.

Heavy duty, highly stuffable and easily maneuverable. The bag performed well on a lengthy trip to Antarctica when it was overstuffed with clothing and gear. The only small gripe is about the awkward interior webbing intended to help hold items in place. The webbing is a strange shape and difficult to get snapped in place. Overall, the bag is a real winner.

I got this bag to take on a Ski trip- I can fit all my gear in the one compartment and clothes in the other. When they try to get me for being overweight, voila, I can split it in half and send em on through.

This bag is pretty sweet. When you take it apart it, each piece looks sort of small but it is surprising the amount of stuff you can fit into it. It would have been nice to have a name tag on each piece, for when you take it apart and check both pieces separately, but thats a minor gripe.

I love it! Traveled to Asia for a month. The minute I got to the local airport at home, I was over the weight limit. No problem, I simply unzipped the bag & I was good to go. I was flying to different locations in Asia and left the duffel part of the bag at the Bangkok airport. After 2 weeks, came back & switched out for the other 1/2 of the bag. Not only is this bag practical but you can fit a lot of stuff in it!
Only thing I would suggest to the manufacturer, is to have an additional zipper on the bottom half of the bag so that you can unzip and expand the bag even more.
