Color: Night Camo
I recently had the opportunity to try mine out on my trip to Oakley HQ for the Factory Co-Pilot event and I must say that this bag impressed my very much. I was able to fit an incredible amount of stuff inside, and I even had room left over. The bag itself is not very heavy which makes it even more convenient. Finally, this bag has so many compartments, I wouldn't know what to put in all of them. I highly recommend this bag to anyone who wants a great carry-on bag with plenty of room that's not too heavy. 5 skulls without a doubt.
The versatility of this bag is amazing. I love how the top compartment is removable. The main compartment is amazing. The dividers are a nice touch. The wheels and handle all seem quite durable. This piece of luggage will attract attention. I can't wait to take this on my first road trip.
I've had mine for almost a year. Works great and can put a ton of stuff in it. I can pack for 5 working days in this bag. My usual load is: 1 AP dopp kit 2.0 with CPAP unit inside, 1 pair of shoes, 4 pairs of socks, 4 pairs of underpants, 2 pairs of pants, 4 golf shirts, 1 Plate belt, 1 quart ziploc bag with toiletries, 4 foot of 1 inch CPAP tubing, 1 CPAP mask, medicines, and vitamins.
I have flown with this bag over 20 times in the last year and it has taken the abuse of me stuffing it into the overhead compartment or checking it plane side for those small commuter flights. The handle has held up really well and the wheels work well as well. I don't lift it up to go up or down curb and even so, the plastic "slides" on the bag that protect the wheel are still in great shape. In order to fit the overhead well, the detachable briefcase has to be detached. I'm not a big fan of Oakley back packs and such, they seem to be more style than function. However, I am 100% SOLD on using Oakley luggage. Knowing how much I abuse this bag and how well it's held up. It's a GREAT buy.
Looks can be deceiving. I based my purchasing decision on other reviews (o-review.com) and once I received the bag, I did not think it would accommodate 3 days worth of clothing. I was able to fit everything (pants, shirts, undergear, socks & shoes) with room to spare. The bag is very light, practical, durable and fits in the plane’s overhead compartment with ease. Highly recommended!!!
The bag itself is very sturdily made, the wheels, normally a weak point on some rolling bags feel rock solid and easily coped with cobbled streets, rutted pavements and generally poor road surfaces. I can comfortably fit 1 pair of shoes and have fitted 7 days worth of clothes in it previously. Obviously this comes down to what the clothes are and how well you pack it! However, I tried to fit a suit into the bag (I'm not big) and found that there was no way of getting it in without folding it over more than once, which for me was a no-no.
Internally each side of the bag is separated at the opening by two zipper'd mesh panels, each panel has a couple of handy pockets on it. The bag also has a useful detachable section that can be taken off by undoing the velcro holding it on. I've used this to carry travel doc's, ipod, a book, mobile phone and toothbrush and found it plenty roomy.
I've flown 3 times with this bag, the first time 1 used it as carry on and was able to sneak it through even though it exceeded the size limit. Since then I've only used it as checked baggage. Each time it's been checked it has come out the other end without a mark on it, a testament to it's build quality!
To summarise, if you want an Oakley carry on bag then this is not for you, however if you take lots of short (<7 day) trips and don't mind checking in soft luggage I recommend you go for it!
