Fit the large Osprey Xenon 85 with room to spare, and kept the pack safe from damage that could occur in normal movement through airport environments. It also packs down easily and doesn't take up much space in ones pack when on the move.

The ONLY thing classified as a "downside" was the single strap on the duffle bag isn't as ergonomically correct as the pack, but that's just a given as it's not meant for that. I just stuck it over my backpack at the check-in luggage area.

Osprey rocks, so I don't mind and am glad they made this item as it enabled me to keep my real asset, the pack itself, secure from being devoured by a sketchy machine. It also seemed to discourage serious TSA security pack rummaging, which I appreciate.
