I've done a search and haven't seen this topic recently, hence my post:

My rolling carry-on for the last eight years has finally started to show its wear after many, many miles. I travel a couple time a month on both domestic and international business travel and my carry-on is very important to me. I try to avoid checking anything, even for longer international trips (provided I can do laundry while traveling).

The bag that I'm going to have to give up is ideal for me: it's exactly 22x14x9 and basically box-like for ultimate packing flexibility inside.

In my shopping for a new carry-on bag, I've noticed that most of them are not exactly 22x14x9, even though they are advertised as such. In some cases, the depth is as little as 6.5". I suppose you could stuff it full and get to the 9", but I'm really looking for a bag that's like my old one.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best constructed, most reliable, and maximum sized rolling carry-on suited for a frequent traveler?

Thanks in advance for your opinions...
