  • For extra capacity just zip open the expansion panel and its capacity jumps to 2,646 cubic inches
  • It easily converts from a smart-looking suitcase to a handy backpack, with comfortably-curved shoulder straps and a padded waistbelt

    Bought this bag a few weeks ago - Love it, light weight, holds plenty for a carry on, good compartments, even have used like a backpack. works out great! I was concerned when I purchased it , not knowing if it would arrive before my trip, received in a couple of days! Will definitely purchase from Irv's in the future.

    Excellent carry-on, 3/5/2011
    By Lauren from New Mexico
    I was looking for a bag that would convert to a backpack for easy moving through the airport (I hate being bogged down by luggage I have to pull when I'm trying to catch a flight). I wanted something that I could also check if the airlines said it was too large to carry on. The convertible straps are great - they hide away inside a zipper compartment in case this occurs. The construction seems strong, even the plastic clips at the ends of the straps and the rings they attach to (though I would have preferred metal clips and rings for increased durability). I've taken it on 2 trips so far and haven't had any issues. There are plenty of pockets for all your stuff and it expands if you need more room on your journey home.

    Briggs & Riley has a better expansion feature so luggage doesn't tip over when expanded. However it costs 3 times as much. This is great for the money.

    I could not find this bag for under $99.99 anywhere until I stumbled on to Irv's on line. We bought twn [...] Just in the price of the bags alone we saved over $80.00We will be taking these bags for a two week trip to Belize and have no doubt that they will be perfect.

    Great Carry-On, 9/5/2010
    By Linda from Boscobel, WI
    Irv's Luggage Verified Buyer
    Got this product mostly to circumvent annoying luggage charges on the airlines. I was doubtful I could really live out of it, but used it for a 5 day trip and found it worked surprisingly well. I used the 'packing cubes' recommended on the travel DVD that came with the piece, and really liked them. It kept the interior contents from spilling out whenever I opened the luggage, and between that and the pockets, it was really easy to keep everything organized. Despite being packed really full, it fit easily into the overhead compartment on the plane. The only drawback might be that it holds so much, that it easily can get heavy to carry by hand, so that is when I used the padded shoulder straps and backpacked it. I am very happy with the piece and would gladly recommend it.
