This ultra light-weight rolling carry-on sized case (less than 8 1/2 pounds!) has a honeycomb frame for structural integrity, super tough UV resistant shell fabric for durability and strength, a soft touch, non-slip handle for handling ease, and exceptionally smooth rolling wheels that will provide years of reliable service. It expands to gain an extra 2" of packing depth. The clean outside pocket arrangement provides simple and easy packing organization featuring three outside pockets - perfect for often-used items and one large side pocket for your jacket, umbrellas or even a laptop. * Carry-On-Friendly: Weighing a mere 8.5 lbs. with a packing compartment measuring 9" x 21" x 14" unexpanded (total length is 22"), it fits within most airlines' carry-on guidelines. * Be Aware: New fees for checked luggage (and fears of lost luggage) are causing many travelers to increase what they carry on board, overwhelming the cabin luggage capacity of some flights. As a result, airline personnel are sometimes rejecting carry-on bags that comply with published regulations. Always check with your airline to confirm carry-on restrictions, and prepare to check your bag if asked.

Superior Carry-on

This bag is WAY better than I expected! I like the hard-padded sides, it's super light, and the inside is roomier than I expected - no gimmicky gizmos - just a zippered net pocket on the inside of the lid and straps to hold clothing neatly in the large compartment. The enclosed laundry bag is a nice touch though. The roll-aboard handle is neatly hidden in a zippered pocket - there is a "surprise pocket" in the side of the front panel, in addition to the two good sized front pockets. The extra 2" gusset is supported by super strong zippers - Can't wait for my next trip!

THIS bag is the one I take

Steeves has thought of everything. The handle is soft, the zippers zip from both ends, the bag expands if you need the room, it's well-made, etc. It's the only carry-on I take with me anymore.

This bag is not a carry-on

Like A.Anderson's review, I was shocked to find that the actual long dimension of this suitcase is 23 inches. Nothing in the product description indicated this.

We bought this as a carry-on bag; the vast majority of non-US airlines have either 21" or 22" as their allowable long dimension. I thought we would be set with this bag! We are returning it. We need a bag that will *always* be allowed carry-on, not just when the fellow at security lets you go by without making you put it in the box!

It is well-made, with an intelligent and attractive design, but the size thing cancels all that out. I am upset with the Rick Steves company, as I had considered them trustworthy.

I feel duped. I'm just glad I read the other review, and returned it before taking it abroad! Thanks, A.Anderson.
