Ful Backpack

traveled with it to the mideast recently and loved it... more than enough space and very light weight !! when empty, it smashes down to go under a bed.

I'm really surprised by the positive reviews of this bag. This was available at Costco about a year ago and was purchased by me and a number of people I know at work for about 35 dollars. Since then most of these have been replaced. I have ordered a new bag and this one is going right in the garbage.

My usage: I carry the bag from my car to my cubicle every day. From my car to my home office at night. About once a month I have to travel for business and this is my carry on (I'm not traveling commercial so I can't comment on the other reviewer who says this is too large for a carry on. Last time I flew on a commercial flight I was carrying a large messenger bag, bigger than this pack).

The first problem I encountered with this bag was with the rubber/fake leather material used behind the logo and on the bottom of the pack. It wears very easily and mine has several holes in it now. Mostly cosmetic but it made an ugly bag even uglier.

My second problem is the stitching, and this is why I have to give it one star. The stitching is coming loose all over the bag. The mouse and water bottle pockets on the sides are falling off because the stitching is coming out. My coworker had to replace his while traveling because the straps fell off and he could no longer wear it. He is a train commuter so his bag likely went through more stress than mine. But still, I've had timbuk2, northface, and osprey bags that have lasted years (and are still going strong) after much more stress (traveling around the world) and not a thread is out of place. If you don't have good stitching, you just have a pile of fabric.

Very glad I bought this. Full of zippers, compartments, etc. Very spacious--plenty of room for a 3-day trip. Easily fits in the overhead. Very lightweight. Wheels and extension handle work smoothly. Would buy again and/or give as gift. Very satisfied!

This is a beast of a bag, but looks surprisingly well put together there's just enough rigidity to the shape of it that keeps it looking nice even when lightly packed. Holds a 17 inch laptop with plenty of room to spare. If anything, the real danger is that it's roomy enough that it's very easy to overload.

I had difficulty getting this into an overhead on several flights and it was not stuffed above the height of the bag. The duffel can hold a lot and seems very sturdy.
