roomy, well placed pockets & straps, backpack straps a plus. BUT super thin. as other reviews mentioned, good for road trip or carry on, but will not hold up as checked bag. not sure why, but the material on the bottom of the bag (gray) seems less durable that the upper sections (blue). perhaps not worth it, even at the 25% off price.
Measurements are not as described! 14x14x30 Thinnest material used. Maybe great at 34.99 and to repurpose it as a carry-on This would fit on most overhead compartments. This means it runs supper small and tight. However I'm not sure it's designed to hold over 30lbs , meaning I think it would rip. I work in an airport and this is the worst quality I have seen in years.
As stated by previous reviewer, this is NOT 130L. Maybe 30-50L?? The length is not 30". Maybe 18". Sizing is off and REI needs to fix. It is a lightweight fabric as well. Maybe ok for many situations. Just commenting that it is light and not heavy duty.
