Basically this thing has gone with me to Russia twice, Europe twice, around the 48 and to Alaska. Its burly design has held up well to being tossed into the airplane luggage compartments, pickup truck beds, and lower sections of busses by many of the world's most ill tempered luggage check personnel. And its still fine - all zippers, fabric, pockets, etc intact and looking tough as ever.

If you want more organization, try another pack with more of those features. For my "throw it all in the same place" technique, this bag has been ideal. Only didn't give 5 stars because I'm not sure if those compression straps actually do anything but get in the way.

Travel with this bag all the time. After a year, it has handled everything I've thrown at it. No issues with quality or durability. The storage pockets ar plentiful and functional. Weight is fairly lean, so you can get a lot in it and not break the airline heavy baggage fee threshold. Agree with the other reviewer, compression straps are useless and annoying. Otherwise it's great!

This is a well-made, stable traveling bag that served me well on a China trip. Wheels are excellent, and the handle is the best I've seen. For such a large bag, it is very easy to manage. I highly recommend it.

This bag is stylish and roomy. I was able to fit everything I needed and still had room. It is rugged and reliable. Every detail is pure North Face quality. Additionally it is easy to spot on a luggage carousel.

Properly engineered and very versatile. Plenty of storage but long and lean makes it easy to manage in airports and train stations. Took this bag to Japan for a month long trip and had much better luck than the previous roll-arounds I had been using. It even fits through the ticket gates at Tokyo station b/c it is so slim. All of the components are replacable which is a great aspect. Stylish and functional. The handle is very durable. I bought a second bag in case this model is ever discontinued I will have a backup.

After spending quite a while on which bag to get-- this was the one! i travel a lot overseas and tough, big bag is what i needed. This bag is perfect. I can pick it up and haul it up the stairs despite that it's packed to the brim. but also it travels well with out being completely stuffed. Space, inner pockets and outer pockets are all perfectly placed. Great bag!

This rolling luggage is built to last from top to bottom. Grade aaa material and quality from north face backs it up that you are purchasing nothing but the best.

I got the North Face Longhaul for a snowboarding trip to Tahoe this past December. It was great for holding some gear and clothes for a 5 day trip. Great style, and that North Face durability. Love it!
