Nice, but not perfect

I bought this in the ruby color for a very reduced price, but ended up returning it. First, the color is pretty, but much brighter than it looks online. The bag is huge. I bought it because I do a lot of backpack travelling internationally, and thought this would be a good compromise between wheeled luggage and a backpack. I know, I know, the size is right in the desciption, but somehow even though I have a internal frame pack that is very close to the same size (in cubic inches) this bag somehow seems much bigger. With the current airline charges for checked luggage, this would easily hold over 40 or 50 pounds, incurring additional fees. Also the zip-off daypack is not very comfortable. It may get better with use, but it is very stiff, and the top of it rested against the back of my neck in a very uncomfortable way. Probably a small complaint if you like everything else about it.
