2Returned it.
By Honest reviewer
Bought this piece looking for a replacement to the heavy 29" Samsonite stuff I lug around the airport. Thought this might be a good option. I also purchased a 25" Ebag duffel so had it to compare to. I had assumed that the 28" High Sierra would have a good bit more room than the 25" Ebag. After having them side by side, that doesn't appear to be the case. The suitcase side of the High Sierra is only about 5" deep while the Ebag one is about 7" deep. So even though the 25" Ebag duffel is about 2" narrower, with the added depth, it appears to hold at least as much as the 28" High Sierra. So my desire to have something that holds more didn't pan out. So I just compared the 2 on the other features. The Ebag just felt like it was put together better. The handle extended longer which I like and the wheels on the Ebag are totally silent. Not the same on the High Sierra. And the Ebag had the separators for the suitcase side. So based on that, I returned the High Sierra and plan to keep the 25" Ebag.

4Served Me Well On First Trip
By C. Lauritzen
This is not your ordinary duffle bag. It's extremely light weight, has a well formed bottom and has a bunch or compartments. I crammed it with shoes, sports coat, etc. Came up to about 45 lb which was what I wantd to keep it under the 50 lb airline limit. With plane transfers and considering the bag went to Salt Lake instead of Sacramento (from Ft. Lauderdale) on the home leg of the trip, I think it held up very well. With most duffles you have to kind of tumble through everything to find anything. I put sports coat, pants, shirts in the bottom section where they stayed neatly folded. Underwear went in outside pouches and toiletries went in front pouch. I put three pair of shoes in the "duffle" area on the bottom and was able to access them from the inside bottom with out tussling through everthing else. You'll work out your own system of course but the point is, there are lots of great options.Two things I don't like about the unit. 1.) It really doesn't stand upright on its own. So when you're in the baggage line you have to lean it against your leg or put the handle in and put it flat on the floor. I knew this before purchasing it though and decided it was worth the trouble. It is. But it would be better if it stood up on its own. 2.) The zippers don't have any sort of a latch or clasp that signifies they are fully closed and keeps it that way. When my bags came off the plane several of the zippers were partially opened and stuff (toiletries, underwear, etc.) was apparent and spilling out. I actually blame this on TSA and assume they didn't take the time or make the effort to close it all the way after inspection but who really knows?Generally though I'm very pleased with the purchase.

4Well thought out.
By Manfish
I was looking for a 28 inch tall duffel that would be just under the "oversize" bag measurements and was flexible enough for my needs. Anything taller than 28 inches and the top handle is too high for me to carry the bag comfortably and if shorter than that, I can't pack my flippers. The construction seems quite good, clean, no loose threads, the zippers work smoothly and the top section can serve as one, two or three compartments plus a pouch. Four stars because the bag doesn't stand up.
