I have just such a bag which I have been using frequently since 1995! The housing for the handles act as a great skid rail and there is a large pouch in the back of the bag, great for storing a full sized book. The matching tote is slightly ripped but still serviceable. The wheels are low to the ground and as a result, the internal packing space is quite large. A Skyway, probably bought at Marshalls. I bought two at the time and gave one away to my son. Perhaps I should have kept it.
I have been looking for a replacement for a few weeks and the B&R 22" Baseline and Victorinox NXT 5 are top contenders but still not up to my original bag in capacity and design.
Mrs. Oceanrider finds my particularity quite amusing.
