(More customer reviews)I just received this bag today, so my observations are early and untested. I will update after having a chance to use this bag.
I frequently travel on short business trips, just about every week, so I need a carry-on that is convenient to drag through airports and up and down hotel parking lots. I have wanted to try a spinner for a while now since they seem like less weight pulling behind you and this would make those trips just a bit more comfortable.
This bag looks great from a distance. I like the handle on top, it retracts so is almost flush when not in use, also has metal-looking attachments that class it up a bit. The look of the bag is very sleek, the main clothes compartment has a slim look to it, but additional pockets attached to the outside provide more storage for miscellaneous items. The exterior pocket on top, with the logo, seems to be the right size for a quart-sized baggie full of 3oz. or less toiletries.
It looks much thinner and compact than my other carry-on, a trashed "swiss army" brand of bag. However, when I closely compared the two, the Skyway is actually a little taller, wider and the same depth. Pretty cool that it will hold as much stuff but doesn't look like a huge bag - will help with the overly ambitious check-in agents who used to pull me aside thinking my bag was too big to fit in the overhead compartment. I used to have to demonstrate that my bag fit the dimensions.
My main complaints:
1. Looking up close, the nylon appears to be thin and is stretched improperly over the frame, which on my bag causes a few large wrinkles on top. This seems to be just a cosmetic issue, hopefully will not cause future problems with tearing. I would prefer to have bag that looks like new when I haven't even used it yet, but it's not enough for me to go through the hassle of exchanging for a different bag.
2. As you can see from the pictures the main compartment, where the wheels are attached, is fairly slim compared to overall bag storage space. This means the wheels don't have a deep base to keep the bag stable standing up.
Compared to my older bag, this Skyway seems to easily tip over when empty. If I just push it forward a tiny bit, the bag falls over. When full, I think this would be just as much of a problem, possibly more so if the weight is not distributed well.
Time will tell, but I will practice using it in the house for the next week or two just in case I need to return it due to the potential tipping issue.
