Excellent heavy-duty carry on bag
926687
This is a great bag to carry on.  I carried a 15 inch laptop, 2 iPads, assorted cords, snacks, medications and my jacket on board and it fit under the seat in front of me.  It was very heavy and it looks like the bag held up to all that abuse quite well. It was very heavy with all that electronic equipment in it. It's big bag to be carrying with my bad shoulders. If I could find one this size on wheels I would be in heaven! I definitely recommend this bag for a carry on or a large gym bag.

I have been looking for a leather carry-on bag for years.  I wanted to see what I was buying but each time I found a bag that lived up to my expectations the price was North of $500.  I was reluctant to buy one on-line but the reviewers here on Amazon and Amazon's no-hassle return policy convinced me to give this bag a try.  I have to tell you I'm thrilled with it.  Heavy durable leather with strong brass zippers and hardware.

If you need a quality bag, look no further.

First of all, this is not a 22" bag--the length is 20.5".  Minor difference, but it can mean the difference in "carry on" status on some smaller planes.

I owned a previous version of this bag and just received the new model;  I haven't taken it on a flight yet.  I prefer to utilize carry on luggage and opt for the kind I know will fit in an overhead, to avoid a gate check.  The Ultimate Access fits the bill.  It easily fits in an overhead with the daypack removed, and the daypack is small enough to comfortably go under the seat in front of the traveler.

I've owned numerous High Sierra bags, and have always been impressed with their quality and durability.  Customer (warranty) service from HS is excellent as well.

The Ultimate Access' best feature is its versatility.  It can be used as a backpack or as rolling luggage.  I generally only use it as a rollaboard, as the bag is quite spacious and can be heavy when fully loaded.  Also, and this is a serious negative, there is no waist strap to minimize shoulder strain. I don't recommend using the main bag as a backpack unless you're a larger person with a strong back.

The main bag, if you're a good packer, can hold 3-5 days of clothes and accessories. A small pocket in the front holds smaller items like boarding passes, an iPad Mini, and the like.  Construction is good, with the wheels solid and very little "travel" in the telescoping handle.

The daypack is fully appointed, with organizer pockets and two water bottle pockets.  (Why backpacks need TWO water bottle pockets is a mystery to me, but that seems to be a popular feature.)  My 17" laptop is too large for the daypack, but smaller laptops/netbooks and iPads won't be a problem.  I like the option of having a smaller pack to take on side trips while traveling, and the Ultimate Access is perfect for this.  The daypack also features a strap which extends over the handle of the main bag, allowing it to sit on top of the bag while wheeling it.  That's my preferred method of carrying this bag, as while the zip off feature is convenient and easy to use, it's time-consuming.  The smaller pack also attaches to the main bag with a strap if desired, but the strap can't be shortened to avoid dragging the daypack on the ground.  Another negative.

Pros:
Quality construction and durability (based on current and past experience with this brand)
Carry-on friendly with most planes
Capacity
Versatility

Cons:
No waist strap to relieve the weight of the main bag if used as a backpack
Attaching strap of daypack too long to avoid dragging the smaller pack

All in all, a nice bag for the price.  High Sierra produces quality luggage and outdoor equipment, and I expect the Ultimate Access to be no exception.

I am a frequent traveler with more than 100 days on the road annually.  While I try to use carry on as often as possible, there are longer trips that sometimes require checking luggage.

I have rejected this hard cover style in the past, as the interior seemed smaller than traditional bags. This is a positive exception!

This style and brand has:
1. A reasonable interior size
2. strong wheels
3. an easy to use pull handle
4. an identifiable look (not the black of every other bag)
5. a strong exterior
6. a fair price

This is an excellent product and a good value - highly recommended!

I'm a very frequent airline traveler for both US domestic and international travel.  I've tried them all including very expensive brands, and I'm now 6 months into using the Travelpro Platinum Magna 2 (21 inch model).  I used my former suitcase until the wheels started locking up after about 4 years.  I'm quite fussy about capacity (never check a bag) and thoughtful design.  My conclusion is this is the best bag I've had in 20 years of heavy travel. Really.

Pros:
Lots of capacity.  Simple pockets, solid zippers, and the most solid handle I've ever had.  The two positions in which it locks are great with a laptop bag on top.  The wheels roll with extreme ease, and they do self-align when zipping through the terminals.

Cons:
I loved my former bag (another brand, the model is no longer available), but this one is better in every way.  I have zero complaints or issues with it.

If this one dies in a few years, then I'll very likely just buy it again.

This bag is fantastic! Very high quality and durable. Easily pack a week's worth of clothes for my upcoming trip. It would be perfect if it were a front loading bag vs a TOP loading bag, but I can't knock it for that design since I bought it knowing this already. If you don't pack this to the top it will qualify as a flight carry-on bag. (If you pack it full It will be several inches too tall, though you are likely to get away with it unless the airline is strict).

Took this bag on a ten day trip and it was able to hold everything I needed. The bag is easy to carry and very durable. I love the material and how heavy duty it feels while still looking hip!

This is the best carry on I've ever purchased. The size is just right if I don't expand it (honestly that's when I know I've packed too much for 1 week), and no one bats an eyelash at the size (except one airline rep at JFK who worked for China Southern who just lifted the bag and told me to check it). The colors are also unique so it's easily distinguishable; dark colors are better for travel as it can get dirty so easily. One part to improve is the telescoping handle - it feels a little rickety, but other than that I love this.

I travel once a month for business and this bag has been great. It's carry-on regulation size, rolls easily, and has some handy features, like the coat holder. I previously had a larger bag (that used to be carry-on size before many of the airlines changed the requirements), so this one is certainly smaller, but it meets airline requirements. I also like the four wheels, rather than two, because the bag is really easy to push or pull and rolls nicely down the airplane aisle. I'd highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a new carry-on size.

I bought and returned 4 different large duffel bags after buying this one. My main concern was the size; the Eagle Creek ORV 36 technically exceeds the size restrictions of all airlines. I took it to the airport before I decided to keep it to ask the ticket agents if they would hit me with extra charges and they all said they didn't even notice it was that big. So, anyone worried about that can relax.

The bag is excellent, well-constructed, solid. Large wheels can handle rough pavement like cobblestones. 3 exterior pockets and several mesh compartments inside the huge interior make packing a breeze, especially with packing cubes.  (Once you start with packing cubes you'll never look back.)

There are several well-placed grab handles for easy handling. One thing that I love about this bag that made the decision to keep this bag over another was the large, superior zippers and the lock ring that secures the zippers and lock to the bag. Great idea. If you need a big bag, I highly recommend this one.

This is an awesome bag (attractive, sturdy, very light weight - even the cab driver commented).  I've been taking it on back-to-back 10-12 day European business trips for the last 3 months and it is holding up great.

My only problem is that this 29" bag would easily hold 70 pounds worth of clothing and the limit (for me at least) is 50! When it is packed with only 50 pounds of stuff it is kind of empty, but it hasn't seemed to get damaged due to being "under-packed."

The spinner wheels work really well.  I also have the 20" spinner, which is perfect for me for a long flight carry-on...and I just ordered the 25", which will probably be "just right" for the airline weight limit.  I have absolutely no problem managing my big bag, plus the carry-on spinner, plus my big purse all at the same time walking long distances through airports.

Recommend this TravelPro 100%!

As a PC network technician, I needed a decent bag to lug my stuff to work, and also keep my laptop and tools together in one place.  I spent literally hours online researching everything under the sun and ended up going for this Klein 55439BPTB Tradesman Pro Tech Backpack 2,0.  I originally ordered the Klein 55455M Pro Tech Bag, but my 15" laptop wouldn't fit, so I sent it back.  This is a seriously nice bag/pack with heavy-duty zippers, solid construction and it's the perfect size for my needs.  Although I paid more than I had originally planned, I'm really glad I did.  I'm totally satisfied with purchasing this great looking heavy-duty Klein bag for work.  I expect it to last several years of everyday use.

I love this bag - easy to travel with (fits nicely on top of rollaboard suitcase, under airplane seats); best of all, the designers seem to have thought about where everything goes that a constant traveller needs. Pockets, compartments, etc. are all well-thought out. Seems sturdy, too. Will never go back to a conventional bag again!

Heavy Duty, holds up to travel.  I have had this bag for over 3 years and it has help up great to the NOT gentle treatment by the airlines and cruise porters. I go on at least 5 flights a year with this bag.  I had previously had a hard side Brightly colored artistic high dollar Bag and it did not last a year.  I like that I can easily spot this bag on the baggage carousels  because of the yellow stripe.

This bag is very well built and tough.  I was able to fit 2 suits and 3 dress shirts in the bag with no problem.  This bag easily fits in the overhead compartment on an airplane and ensured that both me and my suits got to Florida for the wedding I was in.  The only issue I had was a few wrinkles in the shirts which was easily fixed with an iron.  The suits had no wrinkles.  I am impressed with this bag and the amazing tri-fold design!

I am extremely pleased with this luggage. Rolling 4 wheel upright configuration is an excellent feature. I had become very tired with my old bag, which had only two wheels, falling over every time I stopped in the luggage line at the airport. No problem with this bag. I would definitely buy it again. Very well constructed. This model is slightly too big for carry on luggage, though. I don't recommend trying to use it as a carry on. The smaller size would suffice for that, and I would expect it to be of equivalent quality. I  took a tip from another reviewer and bought a stencil set and gold permanent sharpie on line, which I used to custom monogram the suit case with my initial on three sides. It looked really professional and easily enabled me to distinguish it from a sea of black bags on the luggage belt in the airport. I recommend this product very highly. It is definitely worth the price and made to last for years.

Perfect carry-on to fit all my travel needs, although I wish the top cover was a little more stiff. The velcro band behind the tote is a great feature to place over the pull handle of my four-wheeled luggage. Sufficient amount of side pockets to place toiletries, passport, meds, phone chargers, etc. I would definitely recommend this product for the frequent traveler.
