Good Investment
I bought this product for use flying Maryland to Michigan for an 8 day backpack adventure at Isle Royale National Park. I was hesitant to buy it, but finally gave in after thinking of the horrors I'd experience if I arrived on the island to discover some damage to my pack. I fit my Osprey 65L pack in, with room to spare. I stuffed in a bag of my liquids/cosmetics (that'd I'd use on the main land), with room to spare. You could probably fit in a jacket, sweater, hiking boots, and probably more more. I was impressed with the cool strap and handle, as well as the small zippered area that would be great for stashing papers or other small items. I was only disappointed by the duffle style strap when I tried to carry my 40lb bag. It wasn't impossible, but it was far more difficult than the backpack approach. Lugging it around the airport felt awkward, and the next day I discovered some bruising from the strap. But, it did protect my bag, so it did it's job. There are a few small holes in the material of this bag now, but it served its purpose in protecting my pack. I'll use it again, as the holes aren't very big.

good choice
I was looking for a duffle to put my Dueter 42 litre pack in for airline transport. It doubles for carrying home extra's from travel destinations. Packs into small bundle and is light weight yet durable. Works perfect for carry on , keeps pack contained and meets airline space requirements for overhead bins. This duffle will keep everything secure and keep all of those straps and buckles contained and out of the way for easy transport. It is also lockable . Don't forget your TSA lock. It can be used for a lot of applications and protects your gear to and from where ever you may be traveling.

Does what it promises!
I had no trouble sliding my packed 65L backpack in and out of this airporter. My pack easily made it through two international flights without damage. The only con I see is probably more my fault than the manufacturer's - the sack folds up a little bulkily when not in use, but I think you could pack it down more tightly if you were clever.

Does its job perfectly
Preforms exactly as advertised. Currently backpacking through Europe, living out of a 70-liter Osprey backpack, bought the travel cover to protect my backpack as it went through security, etc. etc. Travel cover did its job, takes up very little space when packed away...Wonderful.
