Don't want to steal baghandler's thunder, but maybe she can answer a question that popped to mind reading her post.

Normally when I travel, I have up to 3 bags I take with me.

1) A Black Skyway Garment Bag for suits and dress clothes.

2) A Red American Tourister 25" Suitcase I bought within the last year when my old suitcase was giving up the ghost.

3) A Black Targus Trailpack

Now I know what your thinking? A trailpack you say? Well, while in college, my day's worth of school books, binders, and other gizmos and gadgets wouldn't fit in a standard backpack. A couple of the cutest girls on campus had the same problem, and found these great Eddie Bauer backpacks that fit all their junk. Well, I went to the outlet, the mall stores, and couldn't find a similar one. So I ended up finding this Targus bag that was far bigger than the rest of the backpacks I'd seen, but didn't have the fancy metal "skeletons" and crap, and bought it. I've had it since I graduated with my 3rd degree, and have used it on almost every plane trip I take. It's my carry on for cameras, video games, MP3 players, computers, you name it. And while it isn't the most stylish option, it has held up AMAZINGLY well and been the most functional of bags I've ever owned.

So how DOES a Damier Keepall work as a carry on? I've been looking at the rep sites VERY closely since Posh's very first attempts to help us guys improve our baggage. We've discussed what I like, what she feels is fashionable, and last night agreed on 3 different bags we both liked. Only one of those 3 was a keepall, but if that's as great as people say it is, and the reps hold up well, maybe that's my first purchase!!!

If anyone has experience with these rep as it sounds like baghandler does... please share whatever you will. The size and shape of a keepall is very different from what I'm used to. And I normally keep my carry on under the seat in front of me. Will that work with these bags? Or are they over the seat in the compartment only? Any info is great, as I've only been following these topics since they started getting brought up here.

And my thanks to our tour guide, the lovely Posh. Her experiences really make the site, don't you think?
