As others have said, it tips over very easily no matter how loaded and it gets marked up a lot, I think a darker color would be better like dark brown or black. When collapsing the handle, mine gets hung up frequently and I have to wrestle with it to get it collapsed. Other than that, its very durable and well made.

I've using the Rambler ever since it came out. It's a great carry on when traveling light. My wife takes it as a carry on over her other luggage if she's traveling for work, and both of my kids want one. I wish it was a tad bigger but that's because I overpack.

Excellent bag for a carry on. I fit five pairs of pants, shirts, underwear and socks in it every week. I also carry a laptop, charger, sunglasses and cell chargers and there is room for even more items. With regards about the reviews on the bag not sitting up when packed, you will have no issues at all. You do have to pack it right, but I promise it’s not that hard. Pants on the bottom and shirts on top, works every time!

Some pictures of the inside of these bags would be a good addition.

This is a great carry on bag for air travel with the pocket on top for your phone or plane ticket.

I will start off by saying it is a very well built bag that does perform adequately with just a few nuances that are annoying. The first is what has been stated multiple times, it tips over when loaded no matter how you position the weight. Second is the color gets pretty roughed up but I am not kind to the bag and it has help up like a champ. The one thing that surprised me was the comment from a pilot about what kind of bag it was and really liked it. I also love the little top pocket for holding headphones, tickets, etc. I would buy again and if they come out with a darker color, the wife may get one to. Buy with confidence.

Whether its riding in the bed of the truck or in the overhead of the airplane. This bag does it all and is tough to boot. Only problem is I need another one since my wife has taken over mine.

Full disclosure, I tried this bag but did not keep it. it's a great bag and feels really durable. I think it looks great too. The one issue is the "single pole" telescoping handle - When I slip my backpack (leisure) or work briefcase with "luggage sleeve" over the telescope, it just spins around (down to the ground between me and the roller bag) on the single telescope. Patagonia's small roller had the same issue and they changed the design. change that and I'd buy!

I like the bag very much, I'm back wishing they had one between the small and over sized bag. I used the bag with clothes and at the airport I had to lean it up against the counter or myself because it didn't want to stand. It reminded me of Dan's comment. Great product otherwise. Oh, and if the main compartment could unzip on three sides not just two, even better. I don't know if that request would jeopardize the bags integrity. Thanks

I've used this bag on several trips. It is very durable and looks great. It is a perfect size for a carry on and fits into the overhead compartment of an aircraft with ease. It is balanced perfectly and fits my gear nicely. I've had no issues with the bag standing upright when packed. I recommend this bag for anyone traveling on any mode of transportation.

I work in a airport and handle thousands of bags a week. I purchased the Sitka Rambler after seeing one come through the airport. Like I said I see and handle thousands of bags a week and I have seen every kind of bag imaginable. When. I saw the Rambler I could instantly see the quality over all the other bags. I will be purchasing the larger Nomad soon! No bag is indestructible but the Sitka bags are close. I love my Rambler!

I have been using this as my carry-on luggage for most of the winter. It rolls great, sheds rain/snow, and looks awesome. My one complaint is with the zipper. The weather resistant zipper is tough to work and downright annoying at times. Other than that, I give this one two thumbs up!

Our company, The Hunting Consortium Ltd., purchased several of these for our employees. It's a great lightweight carry-on that truly is rugged. As with all Sitka Gear, the fit and finish and quality of this bag is superior. The wheels are large and strong and the handle is equal. We tear our equipment up and so far this has passed the test for serious international travel. Throughout Asia, Africa, and North America this piece has held up through it all! We recently purchased the Nomad which is equally tough and HUGE, great for trophies or a lot of gear since the suitcase itself doesn't weigh anything.

Awesome product which works as advertised and designed. Sitka quality through and through.

I travel as a part of my job and purchased the Rambler this year. Sitka makes durable gear and this lives up to the Sitka name. The bag gets tossed around in and out of my truck and in the overhead bin of the planes. It is big enough to hold what you need for a 4 day trip. The only concern I had was the effort it took to open and close thes zippers in the beginning. Once I figured out to pull them by the loops and a few times opening and closing- it became much easier. Would also like to see these avail in the Optifade Camo pattern. Great Job Sitka.

Trip one with the Rambler was a success! Solid build and sharp aesthetics make this a must have lightweight travel mate. Durable and rugged material paired with heavy duty zippers make this a great travel companion that is big enough to carry enough stuff for 3 or 4 days travel yet small enough to "carry-on" and fit in an overhead bin on a plane. Heavy stitched carry handles and an inner pocket lined with a touch of "concealment class". Whether rolling it through a large airport on an urban excursion or packing it onto a riverside rock runway to board the piper cub, you will be proud to haul your gear in this bomber! As a GORE gear tester, my only suggestion to make it perfect because of the size, backpack style shoulder straps. "Turning traveling into a picnic".
