Well, this unit came and I was very happy with its looks. It looked rugged, with way more storage space than I ever need. But it isn’t durable.

Pros: tons of storage. Great color selections, nice handle and grip. Several chambers for storage. Makes backpack, several handles, expands.

Cons: 1st leg of my trip the wheels busted. Checked it out, the wheel structure is mounted to a very thin plastic frame inside the case. This will never stand up. No metal in the frame at all on mine. All cheap brittle plastic.

Over all, way too much money for wal-mart quality….

I will be sending this back. I do not recommend getting this. Maybe the smaller one is better???

It expands nicely. I bought it because I thought the option to carry as a backpack was handy. This might be good for camping or road travel. I wouldn’t recommend it for air travel. Because the wheels are smaller, it’s harder to maneuver. After just one plane flight as a carry on, on a smaller plane, where they have to toss it into the baggage area below because it’s too big for overhead, the fabric was torn on the corners. Also, without expanding it, if you’re the type to who tends to stuff your luggage, you’ll have a hard time getting this into the overhead compartment even then due to it’s odd duffel like shape. I was only able to put this into the overhead compartment of the larger jumbo jets, such as those for international flights. I would not recommend this for air travel.
