Our carry-on for two years

Our verdict
Still in our bag after two years. We would buy it again for slow travel with budget airlines.

What we love

- No compression straps inside
- Dark fabric shows scuffs
Good for
Slow travel, budget airlines, city breaks of up to 10 days.
Not for
Long hikes or rough gravel roads. Get a backpack instead.
Field log
Bought it after testing three bags in a shop in Yerevan.
Six months in: one scuff, everything else like new.
Two years in: still our main bag. Handle wobble started this summer.

Questions about this pick
Does it fit Ryanair and Wizz Air?
It fits their paid cabin-bag sizer. It does not fit the free under-seat size.
Is it worth it over a cheaper bag?
For us, yes, because we travel every month. For one trip a year, a cheaper bag is fine.
