Really Nice

This is an awesome bag. It is very big. What I like about it is that it's the same volume as my other big bag, but this is taller and narrower, making it easier to move through the airports. It is made from excellent heavy duty material, and I really like the access pockets so you don't have to open up the entire bag to get to your stuff.

I do have a few concerns:
1. The wheels are screwed in with the new "Ixiom wheel replacement system", so that its easy to swap them out if they need replacement. Unfortunately this means the wheels are unprotected. After my second air trip with it, the airline managed to rip out one of the wheels.

I called Burton about buying replacements, and they said they will send me a free replacement! so I was very happy with the customer service.

2. Being that this is a travel bag, security is a big issue to me because I fly around a lot. There is no way to lock the main zipper or the top pocket (although the top pocket does not have a way to get to the main compartment). This is because they are single zippered and do not have anything for a TSA lock to lock too...

Besides these two concerns, this bag is excellent, and if these two issues were fixed...it would be bar far the best travel bag.
