Shelves kept my clothes separate from tech, which meant no rummaging. The product quality feels high, zips are smooth, and the handle locks firmly. Shipping came in the usual timeframe. I felt more relaxed throughout the trip because packing and unpacking were almost automatic. For me, that’s worth the space trade. I might add their packing cubes for bulkier items. As a daily traveler, this suitcase earned its spot fast.
