I'm a college student who does leisure travel utilizing my benefits as an airline employee and was thinking about pulling the trigger on the AirBoss for a trip later this month. Price is kind of high after shipping at 243 dollars. But it appeals to me with the lifetime warranty and seemingly excellent quality. Only thing I guess keeping me back is whether or not it hurts to carry. I'm no scrawny guy so I think I can handle it but wanted to run it by the folks that had them.
