The LL Bean Approach Rolling Gear Bag is praised for its functionality, durability, and design. Customers find the bag roomy, well-constructed, and easy to maneuver, making it suitable for both short trips and longer travels. However, some report the handles are not padded, making the bag uncomfortable when fully loaded. Others find the bag slightly too small for a checked-in bag, with volume comparable to a carry-on. A few customers also experienced minor damage, such as fraying zippers or the bag tipping over when a backpack is placed on the handle. Overall, the bag is considered a reliable and practical travel companion, with its strengths outweighing the minor drawbacks.
Great little bag. Looks great, wheels great. Roomy.

Roomy and Light
I first used my suitcase on a 4 week road trip to North Carolina. I got everything in the bag with room to spare. The bag fit nicely in to my SUV and was easy to lift for a senior.

Convenient bag with very good Capacity
This is a convenient bag with the two zippered compartments holding clothing securely. It holds a lot and is easy to maneuver. The top handle is a sturdy fabric but we'd like it

We bought two of these and traveled overseas with them. Good luggage, no issues so far. The two halves of the bag are about equally divided and I liked the mesh dividers.
