• "Small, but big on the inside!"

  J. B., LANESVILLE, IN
  Pros: lots of pockets, big wheels, rolls quiet, sectioned and seperate compartments, TSA reg lockable zippers, sturdy handle Cons: can get a bit tipsy if not packed correctly, its a soft-side,

  I bought this over the summer because when I came home to visit, my sister decided she wanted her suitcase back. I paired this up with the Dakine Low Roller, both in Alpine Plaid. What I like about this bag is that its a quiet rolling, sturdy designed suitcase. The ability to zip it open and have two different sides and several compartments is quite nice. I can see where this would be good for seperating dirties from cleans, but I used the seperate top (padded and with zippers) compartments to stuff in shoes and in the other ones, fragile itemss wrapped in tshirts... The top compartments are smaller than the large bottom one, but they work great. On the bottom is one large compartment, with a mesh seperator to zip up and keep it all in. THIS is where one has to be careful, as once you get everything packed up and zipped up, if you're not careful and put the heaviest stuff towards the wheels, this will make the bag want to tip over when stood up. This bag fits enough clothes for a normal 1-2 week trip and this is why I like it. I thought about getting the large, but when combined with the low roller board bag, Ive got WAY more than enough room for EVERYTHING. What I don't like (but still hasnt affected my 5-star rating) is that its a bit easy to tip over if you dont watch how you pack it, and airlines will make you sign a waiver when you check it, because its a soft-sided bag.
