So, this bag was a little bit bigger than I expected, and I was worried that on the smaller planes, they wouldn't let me carry it on. On the bigger ones, it is totally fine (measurement-wise). But then I realized that the person checking me in probably isn't paying too much attention to the size of my carry on, and worse case scenario, I have to gate check it. Anyways, I took it on my most recent trip, and it worked like a champ. It kept things organized while I was away, and it felt sturdy, and fit in all overhead spaces (even the ones on the smaller planes). Plus, I LOVE the no hassle guarantee they have...even for airline damage.

So, first of all, when I got the bottle, it was dented...but I figure it would become dented sooner or later anyways, so I didn't return it (and pay shipping). But mostly, when I used it, it was hard to drink from. I didn't like the sport top at all! It's got a nozzle like a bike water bottle, but you can't squeeze it because it's aluminum! So you just had to kind of pour it into your mouth, and wait for the water to come out. Now, I'm going to buy a "classic" bottle just so I can use to top on that one. Supposedly, the classic top and the hit to are interchangeable. I think it's just a poor design. The bottle itself is pretty cool. The paint was chipped a little from the denting, but that's no big deal. And it does fit in my car drink holders, and more importantly, the water bottle holders on my jogging stroller. So, if they would just make this size with a different top, I'd be a huge fan!
