The trolley sleeve is simple and it works. The handle root is the reason this bag feels more expensive than it is. I am in Charlotte.

It handled a a crowded subway commute in the rain better than expected. The lining dried overnight and the studded corner did not corrode. I am in Detroit.

The size is right for a red-eye flight. The chain anchor keeps its shape and the interior zip pocket is placed where you actually need it. I am in Houston.
