This is now the fifth DAKINE rolling bag I have owned- why? They work- they are spacious- I always seem to find the right compartment when I need it. They are durable (all 5 still in service- 3 with kids at College or discovering Europe), and can take the abuse of some of the most brutal baggage handlers. I had a full set of expensive luggage (well-known brand beginning with T)and they cannot hold a candle to these. Am I happy? You betcha!

I used it on a trip to the Big A last weekend from Jamaica and the bag performed to near perfection. Comfortable with pockets for just about everything. Used the fleece-lined sunglasses pocket for my iPod—better protection. Laptop sleeve could be improved with adjustable inserts for a snugger fit. All in all another great product from DAKINE.

This is my fourth DAKINE bag and I love 'em all. Well-made with thoughtful placement of compartments. I researched this model at the DAKINE site and linked here to place an order. When I got it, I realized it was not the same one that was on the DAKINE web page. I called and they said it was the latest one available. Upon contacting DAKINE, this turned out to be true. The one on their web page will not be available until later this year (this information was not on their site). I decided to keep the bag, but will probably "upgrade" to the new model when it becomes available. As with all DAKINE products the Nomad is well-made and "works for me", though it is not exactly what I wanted.
