I used the carry-on and the personal use bag for cross county travel. Perfect size to put the carry-on in the overhead and the personal use bag under my seat. Always a lot of wear and tear on pieces of luggage as they get tossed roughly overhead and as people cram their own luggage among yours. The luggage was big enough to carry a weeks worth of clothing, toiletries, essentials, computer, running shoes, camera, jacket, light blanket withour having to check any bags. The carry-on piece has a zipper to extend the bag deeper for added packing. The handle of the carry-on had multiple extension levels. I used the extended handle to slide the handles of the personal use bag over it and then to tip to roll both so I didn't have to carry luggage. It's wheels only travel one way, but it was easy to navigate...even on escalators and walkways. The extended handle is somewhat flimsy and can get stuck at times, but a little baby oil fixed that issue. I also was able to roll up my jacket, a travel pillow and blanket in between the handle and the personal use bag. Freed up my hands for my passport and phone. Personal use bag looks small, but it has plenty of room to store a variety of items. Zippers are sturdy. It had a little lock for the zippers, but they unfastened and fell off during the chaos of overhead storage wars on the plane. I chose a darker color because overhead bins and the floor of the airplane are not the cleanest places. Luggage pieces were easy to wipe down with a cleaning spray and a damp cloth. Pleasantly surprised at the capacity to hold so much and how lightweight they were. Just what I was looking for in terms of price, quality, and performance. Impressed.
