I love this bag! It's the perfect carry-on wheelie. Of course, you do have to detach the daypack otherwise it won't fit the overhead compartment. The big red wheels and sturdy handles makes running through the airport a breeze. My bag never twisted once even through escalators, switchback lines and bumpy asphalt. This was a problem with every other carry-on I've ever had until now. I packed it for a weekend trip and still had space to spare. Perfect when you buy lots of souvenirs like me during the trip. A great feature that I didn't notice until I was packing was the attached zippered front cover that was tucked away. When the daypack is detached, it reveals two netted pockets on the front and a horizontal zipper on the bottom that holds the second front cover. It's dual zip and gives you an extra storage pocket that great for books or games to keep you occupied when you're traveling! The daypack was just the right size that I didn't have to worry about knocking things over in cramped stores. The four compression straps with clips were very useful. I even used it as a jacket holder!
I've tried out the backpack mode but haven't field tested it yet. It has cushy shoulder straps and waist belt. It felt very secure albeit heavy in this mode.
It's the best carry-on I've ever used! I can't wait to use it again with my Doubletrack 25 in Australia!
