High Sierra A.T. GO 22" Carry-On Drop-Bottom Expandable Duffel with backpack

I spent hours looking for a convertible carry-on bag. This one goes from rolling bag to backpack pretty effortlessly. It was great for rolling from the airport to whipping over my shoulder at metro stations with stairs only. It holds a ton of stuff, and it's really sturdy.

The only problem that arose during my many travels is that while it actually IS carry-on sized, I was stopped at several different airports because it looks bigger/heavier than it actually is. I got into a tiny tiff with a flight attendant until I heaved it into the overhead cabinet and closed the bin with ease, as she was about to make me check it until I asked to prove to her that it actually fits. And this happened two more times. I've thought about carrying a tape measure with me to prove to flight attendants that this is a carry-on bag.

Well-made and very practical for people who want to carry on to flights. It can be a backpack, a suitcase you pull, or a bag you carry. Lots of space inside for packing.

This bag tends to be too thick for some overhead luggage compartments on airplanes, especially if it is in its expanded mode. This applies in particular to domestic flights in Brazil where overhead compartments are narrow, Other than that, the length and width are ok. Compartments on International flights however are usually more generous and I found no problem. Build-wise, I discovered that after one international trip, the fabric had a rip on one seam. So I am not sure that this bag would stand up to rough treatment. For these reasons, I can only give this bag 2 stars and I can't recommend it.

I bought this suitcase as a replacement for my usual carry-on that broke. I travel fairly frequently, so I wanted something very functional and rugged. This suitcase is just that. There are many compartments, the wheels and pull-out aluminum handle are very solid. With this bag, you can pull, carry as a duffle bag, or wear it as a backpack. It's great. The only unfortunate thing I encountered was that the little metal logo on the front broke off fairly quickly; no biggie though. Be warned, while this bag does just perfectly fit in the smallest of overhead bins on planes, the ticketing agent at the gate may ask you to shove the bag in their little size-checker; it's just a pain if you're trying to quickly board the plane. It may be a tight fit though if you use the expansion portion.
