'FORGET THE ROLL, JUMBO FINE!'
Strengths:
solid, nice fixing strap details
Weaknesses:
Frame too cumbersome, hard to store on board. All a bit too heavy.
Overall:
Excellent bag. I'll take the non frame/wheel version next time! But need to pack less or find another solution for wheels!

'GOOD SIZED, DURABLE DESIGN BAG'
Strengths:
Big enough for my wife to pack everything she thinks she needs on a sailing holiday :-) but not so large as to mean it can't be manhandled on and off the boat. Has withstood four flights so far including some less than perfected caribbean handlers with no signs of wear and tear. I wasn't sure about the two large end compartments - thinking that a larger central area would be better but it actually worked out pretty well making it easier to keep folded clothes flat and crease-free leaving the ends for shoes, toileteries etc.
Weaknesses:
Wet & Dry facility seems to be more wet & damp!
The shoulder strap appears a little flimsy but since I always use the end or central handles I can't confirm this.
Overall:
Would happily reccommend this to anyone for whom the Wet & Dry facility isn't important.
