This was intended to be a back saver after humping a Mini Trekker rucksack around for a while. It holds about the same amount as a mini trekker sized backpack but you have to be careful when packing as the bag is rigid and won't close when over packed. The zippers (have loops for a padlock) are chunky and robust but can be stiff and difficult to close. The bag comes with a multitude of straps and attachments - most of which I haven't figured out yet. The number of internal dividers is generous, though give us a few more of the textile ones! There are four decent sized internal pockets - which add to the profile of the lids and can make it difficult to close if overfilled. The nylon wheels look as though they could go a few miles with me. If the bag was a little bit deeper - just a little bit then I could fit a body with a grip attached. My own fault for buying off the internet and not double checking. I might be attracted by the next sized roller bag because of this and the extra space.

What works

Compact, roller, fits in airplane overhead locker. Includes enough straps to make a dominatrix drool.

Room for improvement

Not deep enough to fit camera and grip attached.

What works

- under 10kg when fully packed! - very well built - smooth silent wheels - compact for the amount of gear it holds

Room for improvement

- a bit heavy when empty - you can't overstuff it without risking damage to the zippers - there's no top bungee: the cord is included, but no top D-rings for attaching it - there's no handle grip on the side: you can only lift it from the top, not like a 'regular' suitcase
