I bought this bag for 3 night trip to the Smokies. My trip is next month so I haven't used it yet. This is just my first impression and my rating may or may not change once I've gotten some use out of it.When I received this bag is was laid flat. This is great for storage when empty. The bag feels like it's made of what normal duffel bags or backpacks are made of. There is a long, detachable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder. There are two handles on the edges that come together with velcro so it can be carried from the top. There are a couple of plastic buckles that you can put together to keep the bag compact when full. There is also a fabric handle on the side so you can lift it from the side if needed. The zippers and straps feel average. I didn't see or feel any extra reinforcement of the zippers, straps, or seams. So this seems like your average duffel bag with wheels. The bag is about 22.5 inches tall (including wheels) when the telescoping handle isn't in use. When the handle is pulled out the bag is about 41 inches tall including the wheels.The inside of the bag is spacious. There are no inside pockets. There is one zipper inside on the bottom that reveals the hard liner. There are four pockets on the front of the bag. The larger two are 6.5 inches wide and 9 inches deep. The smaller two are on top of the larger ones and are about 7 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep. On the side of the bag there is a zipper that houses the telescoping handle. I like this feature because I can use it like a regular duffel bag and the handle won't get in the way. On the underside of the bag there are two plastic strips that are for preventing the bag from touching the ground when laid flat. For some reason they didn't have anything similar on the side of the bag for when you're using it with wheels. So it's not meant to be stood up on its side. The side of the bag that the wheels are on will sag onto the ground and get dirty, wet, or damaged.All in all, I really like this bag. I can't wait to be able to use it for my trip. The owl print is vibrant and exactly as advertised. There was no weird chemical smell that came from it when I opened it up either. It smelled like "new car". I wouldn't recommend travelling with this bag on an airplane too many times. It doesn't seem like it can put up with too much airport abuse. I don't think you should be wheeling this around the airport for long periods of time, especially since you shouldn't stand it on its side. This is perfect for road trips and wheeling it straight from the car to your hotel room.
