DAKINE Overhead Rolling Bag - 2500cu in.

Rating for this product: 5 July 8, 2009

I wasn't impressed with this bag when it arrived in the mail, but now that I've used it, it has won me over.

I purchased this bag for a four day weekend trip. My original flight was cancelled so I ended up staying for five days. I could fit more than enough clothes and shoes for five days in this luggage. The two equally sized compartments are very nice and make it easy to open and close the luggage and take out the item you want. Each side has a mesh with a zipper so you can see inside, but nothing will fall out.

I like to read on the plane, so I put one book in each front pocket. This turned out to be wiser than expected. The plane was so small that, at the gate, they checked my bag for gate claim, so it was easy to take out my book before I boarded the plane and slip it back in the front pocket when we arrived at our destination.

I agree with the former reviewers on the following:

1) Yes, the top and side handles make it very easy to pick up and carry. They are thick and sturdy. The extendable handle works well, too, except I find that I have to press the button a few times before it extends, because I don't press it deep enough the first time. So make sure you press that button deep.

2) When you stand up the bag, it does tend to lean forward, so you have to stand it up carefully. If you don't stand it up carefully, it will fall over.
