OGIO Alpha Layover Travel Bag (Midnight Olive)

Used it for over year now, 4 airline trips, one international, and it is easy to carry, roll and store. The size and shape fit easily in the overheads without shoving or maneuvering. Lots of pockets, small and large, work well for packing for a week. No problems so far with zippers, seams, handle, etc.

Rollability is good, no problem rolls with ease. Zipper works well. Expansion is awesome. There's a pocket for shoes. I just love this bag. Very functional and not heavy at all. Great for the value

I bought this bag due to quality and perfectly fitting airline carryon requirements. It is literally the best bag I’ve ever had. I use it for business travel, after having several luggages either lost or damaged.It has several strong carry straps on each side, top and front. The wheels are durable and sturdy. Fits a ton of stuff for its compact size.

(Tldr: Great for price, smaller capacity due to design/ruggedness trade-off, design flaw that will lead to failure with regular use.)I have had this bag for a year as I try to transition to carryon only travel. I travel about once a month with this bag around the workd. It seems to be a nice middle ground between consumer grade and professional grade carry-on bags. He shows middling signs of wear and would probably be good for another year before eventual zipper failure.Pros:-Rugged main wheels-Expandable, which makes it a decent checked bag if you are trying to be versitile.-Decent organization.- Stands up well- Double rod on the handle allows for stable attachment of backpack.Cons:- less space compared to a purely rectangular suitcase inside due to a rounded cover.- The choice to reinforce the wheels and add bumps to this reinforcement (to allow it to lay flat )mean you are giving up about an inch of potential verticle storage. On a bag this small you feel the loss. (Pictured)- Design flaw. The handle on the bottom of the bag is meant to double as a stand. Due to the design of the bag, this handle ends up bending slightly, which allows the lower zippers to rub against the floor, (pictured) every time the bag is stood up. (The bag still stands up despite this. This will eventually lead to a lower zipper failure. At one year in, i have modified the bag with a abs plastic skid plate in an effort to delay this failure. (Pictured) I’ll check in next year with a progress report.Overall: I think it is a killer bag at the $200 price point. You will have to go up in price if you want a bag that actually has a reinforced lower. I also don’t know if the reinforced wheels are a good or a bad thing, since mine haven’t failed, but I do notice the lack of space. If you were trying to spend less than $300 on a carry-on bag, I think this is the perfect one. If you have closer to a $400 budget, I would go with something more like luggageworks.

This brand is the best luggage I have ever used. My last one lasted almost 8 years of regular traveling. This bag offers plenty of room for shoes , under garments and clothes for a 2-3 day trip along with easy to roll bag. I love OGIO for their quality and durability. Highly recommend this bag. Installs easy in overhead bins on airplanes and easy to roll through the terminal. A+++++++

I am partial to soft-sided travel bags; this is the best so far. Looks great!I just hope it holds up for my whole travel season and beyond. After all, it's not hard luggage, but quality is there. You can tell by the stitching, handles, wheels, and overall sturdiness. Many storage compartments as well.

I absolutely love this bag. The build quality is top notch with very sturdy zippers. Matches all the other Ogio travel pieces I own.

I've used it for a month of auto travel and it's performed exceptionally well. The big wheels roll so nice over obstacles and elevator door gaps. Handle is easy to use and adjusts to two heights. Entire suitcase and Zippers are all quality so far. The suitcase expands about 3" if needed. Also has plenty of zippered compartments to keep stuff separated. I only write reviews if I really like something or hate something... so this gets 5 stars.
