Promising review: "I've finally found the carry-on bag that is perfect. Love the black. It is soft, yet structured. First, all the the materials used on the outside and inside of the bag are of excellent quality. It opens wide, at the top, with a very sturdy double zipper. There is a stability portion in the bottom of the inside of the bag that helps it stand up and keeps it stable. On the inside, one side has a large zippered pocket. On the opposite side are two open pockets, that are sturdy. On the outside, there is a large recessed zippered pocket on one side and the other side has a piece that can be hooked onto another piece of luggage. I love the quality of the heavy duty silky, but not slick material inside the bag with what feels like cushy foam like filling between it and the outside of the bag. The material on the inside of bag is attached to all sides so it doesn't bunch up. All around classy well-made bag." —Sandra Johnson

Promising review: "This is ultra-roomy and will hold three to four days’ worth of clothing, plus shoes and toiletries for a long weekend. But it still fits perfectly in the overhead compartment.

I love using this as a carry-on and also for road trips." —CeesMom

It’s the perfect size for that and makes me look and feel very organized. It’s great for overnight trips, or going to the gym. It’s roomy enough to stack things but also compact enough to not be too heavy. I contacted the seller with a couple of questions and she responded in a very prompt and thorough manner.

Promising review: "This bag is a decent size. I like how the dirty/wet clothes compartment is the same size as the regular compartment. There’s also a bottom compartment. I’d probably use that T-shirts or socks and underwear. It’s sturdy and well made. No loose strings or mottled appearance. I LOVE the heather gray color. Definitely good for your personal carry on when flying, or a weekend trip in the car." —Carolyn

Promising review: "This is not a huge duffle bag, but it’s the exact tote I was looking for. I’m a flight attendant and I’ve been looking for an all black waterproof tote to travel with. My employer offers one, but it’s just too big and bulky. This one is just right. My favorite feature of this bag is the area in the back that holds onto your suitcase. You’re able to pull your bags with one hand and use your other hand for important things...like texting LOL." —Amazon Customer

This bag fits the personal item requirements of Spirit Airlines & Frontier Airlines perfectly, which can be placed under seat and no need to pay carry-on.
Promising review: "As simple a design as I have found and invaluable as a carry-on. The bag is deceptively large, with a simple large compartment, an exterior pocket (held my passport and tickets handy), and a zippered pouch pocket that slipped over my wheeled carryon. I used it a couple of times with great ease, making this a good investment already. It seems to be sturdy enough to make an overseas trip, too." —Sammie Cur

Promising review: "Don’t hesitate. You will not be disappointed. I really love everything about this bag! It’s the perfect weekender bag! Very sturdy, strong, light weight canvas material, great for traveling. I did have to steam it to get some wrinkles out from shipping, but they came right out after about 5 or 10 minutes. The bag itself is about the size of a standard size pillow when you lay it up against it. You could fit a couple of small women’s shoes in the bottom. Only one pair of men’s size 12 will fit in the bottom with a few small items like socks or something. The handles and shoulder strap are strong and sturdy as well including the hardware. It's very roomy inside. You won’t have any issues packing your essentials. With plenty of room left to pack any extras and then some. I can’t wait to use this on my next trip!" —Melinda Reese

Promising review: "I bought this bag to put things in it. When I do put things in my bag I like it. The zippers seem to zip. The pockets seem to pock. I put shoes in the shoe compartment. I put clothes in the clothes compartment. When the bag is full of things I carry it to another location. At which point I may unload the bag, but not necessarily! That's the exciting part. I used the bag for a weekend get-away, a romantic valentines day rendezvous. I like this bag. It makes me happy. 'But Trey, will it make me happy too?' I don't know random internet person, but I would wager yes. Just keep it safe with the colors. I got the standard gray." —Trey
