I love this bag so much I bought 3 for my family. We use it for one bag travel as a carry-on in the States & for overseas. It's so lightweight that we haven't ever reached the 10kg limit that European airlines have. We are usually around 7 to 9kg for 1 week plus of clothes. That includes 4 pairs of pants, 7 shirts, 3-4 quarter zips, 7 socks/underwear, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 puffer jacket & toiletries . At 45L, it fits in the carryon bag checks. It can be pushed to fit. The end zip pocket is great to toss in phone, wallet, passport at security gates. Don't really use the side zip pocket much, though there's a place for keys there. The water bottle pocket large enough for a 24 oz stainless bottle. The zippers are large & of very good quality. 2 handles on the ends are useful as well as the top straps which convert to backpack straps. The only thing that could be improved is to make the top of the backstraps a little wider. It's a bit narrow & can dig into the shoulder when we load up to 9kg. We have used these bags for 1 trip of 2 weeks in the UK & 1 trip of 2-1/2 weeks on the continent, as well as several trips in the US.
