(More customer reviews)Okay, so do you see the second picture of this bag, how the wheel is slightly outside the perimeter of the bag? That small detail is likely to mean that you'll have difficulty getting this bag in the overhead bin of some flights.
But, if you know a couple of tricks, you can make this bag work...and it's worth learning the work-around, because, overall, it's a really good bag.
In terms of capacity, this bag has about as much room as you could ever hope to have in a carry-on bag. It will fit in the sizers (as long as it's not filled to bursting), but, if you can travel for a week with two mens' suits, two pair of shoes, five shirts, jeans, and 5 pair each of socks and underwear, you can fit all of that in this bag and have five days' clothes for business travel in one carryon.
Downside: the outside pockets are very deep, but not very wide, which means that they're practically unusable. Unless you have something long and flat that you're putting in there, don't bother. And if you do use them for a ziploc bag of toiletries, for example, you'll likely have your bag torn because you'll have to reach all the way down, and it's narrow enough that pulling it up will rip your toiletry bag.
It's fine in the overhead bin if you're in a plane where you can put it in wheels-first. But if you're on a flight where you have to put 22" wheeled carryons sideways, you may have to do a little hack. On transcontinental American Airlines flights, there's no way to get this bag in the overhead bin, unless you turn it upside down, and prop a pillow or jacket underneath it. Flight attendants hassled me regularly about this bag until I figured this out. I'd love to give this five stars, because it's huge for a carry-on and it's great for my suits, but I'm often stressed that I'm going to have to argue with a flight attendant about whether it will fit, and pulling my toiletries out of the outside pockets is often an ordeal.
