But now for the most important part - filling the bag!
I can say this bag can really hold a lot. I was able to fit in almost a weeks worth of clothes and holiday stuff and have it weigh exactly 8.0KG - which is just the limit for LH and LO carry-on restrictions. If it wasn't for that I could easily fit a week's worth of clothes. But I never really was able to get that much in my bag before.
I was able to get in:
- 2 polo shirts
- 3 black tshirts
- 2 tshirts
- a dress shirt
- socks and boxers for 5 days
- swimming trunks
- jeans
- shorts
- my liquids bag
- my travel bag which has my shaver, toothbrush, and other stuff
- umbrella
- a fold-able backpack (Sea to Summit day bag. Weighs absolutly nothing and can hold everything I need for a full day - tripod, camera and lens, umbrella, sweater, water and more. I used this all over the world and it's really great - http://www.seatosummit.com.au/produc...avel-day-pack/)
- my DSLR camera and lens (which is quite heavy)
- my glasses and sunglasses

And of it packed inside the carry-on:
As you can see it's not bulging or anything:
And for the test!
I had no issues storing this on a DH4 on OS or a Dash 8 with LO. It fitted without any issues in the overhead bin. Of course that means that on larger planes it was without any issues.
And for the UA sizer....
It fits perfectly! My bag was a bit stuffed, but it went into the UA sizer without any trouble
My Final Thoughts:
Overall this bag does what it supposed to do - hold as much as my stuff and be light. Is it super durable? No. Would I check it in? No. Would I use this as my main carry-on? Yes. Would I recommend this bag to others? Yes.
It's super light. It fits a lot of stuff in the bag. It's just fine for traveling with and it's nice to know that I will be in the requirements for LH and other European carriers weight limits for carry-ons,
