Just the right size, hardly dead weight. Absolutely practical with the trolley loop. The exterior pocket is misused with me and is reserved for cosmetics (the classifications for mobile phone, pens, another slide-in compartment and the key fob I use personally do not, there is always a handbag this is additional). Kipling stands for quality (zippers, material, robust construction), thoughtful disposition, light weight: this bag meets all the criteria. I have been lucky and they purchased at a moderate price. The regular price is but definitely worth it.
