Description of DAKINE EZ Traveler Rolling Bag - Women's:
Wow. That's a lot of stuff. We mean, a LOT. But no worries, it'll fit inside the DAKINE Women's EZ Traveler 120 Rolling Gear Bag. And since the EZ Traveler 120 rolls on durable urethane wheels and has a retractable handle, you don't have to carry this monstrosity, just pull it along. This bag also includes two external pockets, so you don't have to dig through everything when you need a light jacket. Sealable vent panels let soggy boots and other damp gear air out instead of fester.
Pros: You can pack 'like a girl' for a weeks long vacation and fit everything in this suitcase. Meaning it holds a TON of stuff. Great for car vacations.
Cons: The back of the suitcase is the only 'firm' side. The other three sides have no structure and it is more like a humungous duffle bag. This was a little dissapointing since they really throw bags around at the airport...which brings me to my next point...
The official dimensions L+W+H say it's 60in, if you measure it by hand stuffed full, it seems more like 62" which is exactly the Airport limitation these days. Too close for comfort - I'm not about to risk paying another $100 fee for my bag.
My last complaint is that there is no side handle for picking up the suitcase. Since it is so tall, this makes lifting it or carrying it more difficult.
I bought this for my wife. She likes it and so far no issues have arisen. The overall quality seems a bit on the cheap side and in my opinion it looks a bit cheap in person. Since we have not used it for an extended amount of time, I cannot comment on longevity.
