Bag that comes closest to fitting Spirit's "personal item" requirements?
Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I'm on the hunt for a bag that fits exactly (or comes as close as possible to) to, the allowable dimensions for a "personal item" on Spirit Airlines, as I see myself flying with them a lot over the next year.
The dimensions are 16"x14"x12" (40 cm x 35 cm x 30 cm).
I've gotten away with various bags that didn't quite fit one of these dimensions or another, but I'd rather purchase something that will give me peace of mind, so I never have to rely on how nice the person at the check-in counter is feeling on a given day.
The size of the bag is my first consideration, and price would be second (not looking to spend over $80). Third would be style, as a lot of the bags I've seen on Amazon that might otherwise fit the bill are in weird colors/patterns. As a guy I'm just looking for something neutral.
Additionally, it can roll/not roll, doesn't matter to me.
Thanks!

I checked my Ciao bag in the Spirit sizer and, wheels up the wheels protruded, and wheels down the handle protruded. Probably not enough to get caught, but with Spirit who knows. My ex wife and I once traveled on spirit using our kids' Pottery Barn roll-aboards and they fit the sizer almost perfectly.

Frank at One Bag One World posted in Feb. 2016 that Spirit was changing the size of the personal item to 17 x 13 x 8 inches. Check with Spirit before shopping for a new bag!

You might have to cut the little protectors on the wheel guards so it fits in the bag sizer, you might not. I did this and it worked like a charm.

Very much this. It's the perfect rolling underseat bag. And for $30 if you wear it out too fast, you can get another one. But it really is a decent quality bag. At least as good as a mid range Delsey or similar.
