yes and yes (that is my new saying I'm trying to get it going around the world)I LOVE THIS BAG if you travel alot and have to take your gear this is the bag for you. word of caution if you pack it heavy your going to get hit by the airlines(but what's new right)I put a weeks worth of gear for my family and got it all in the only compliant that i have is the bottom zipper goes in a u shape and a little hard to unzip
I bought this bag as a replacement for my Columbia Rolling Duffle that has been with me to 4 different continents. I have been very impressed with this bag so far--first and foremost, it is super lightweight. Second, it is more rugged than I imagined--I was fearful that the bottom and the underside might be too "soft," but it is adequately firm to protect the contents. I also prefer a bag that has one huge interior compartment as opposed to many separate ones, and then use Pack-it cubes to fill the space. With this bag you have the option of using the lower compartment separately, or accessing the entire space through the upper opening. Finally, it appears to stand up pretty well on its own without falling over--a necessity for traveling through airports.
I travel a lot to places I might stay 2 or 3 months,so I have work clothes and play gear to take. At times I put the Three Stooges to shame with my juggling luggage act. This bag rolls easily and holds plenty. Extra tip, if you are a Rick Steves fan, get some of his packing cubes to organize your stuff as this is only a 2 compartment bag.
