I know it's been 2.5 years, but I'd like to give a review of this. The front zipper is a major failure point in this bag and will probably get broken off after the 2nd or 3rd time this gets checked. The entire hook that holds the pull tab of the zipper cracked on mine so I can't even attach a string to pull it open and closed. Granted, you can still open and close the zipper but you have to grab it with your finger. Because of this, I don't trust bags where there is a front zipper facing the front side. It's better if the zipper faces up or to the sides, like on the Kirkland carry on.
Overall though it's a very light bag and was worth the $30 I paid for it. It's still in service today but I bought the American Tourister GO 22" (18.5" interior) item #1271376 which is on clearance for $19.97 right now (originally $49.99, was on sale for $39.99 at some point) to replace it.
