OGIOLayover Travel Bag

(Tldr: Great for price, smaller capacity due to design/ruggedness trade-off, design flaw that will lead to failure with regular use.)I have had this bag for a year as I try to transition to carryon only travel. I travel about once a month with this bag around the workd. It seems to be a nice middle ground between consumer grade and professional grade carry-on bags. He shows middling signs of wear and would probably be good for another year before eventual zipper failure.Pros:-Rugged main wheels-Expandable, which makes it a decent checked bag if you are trying to be versitile.-Decent organization.- Stands up well- Double rod on the handle allows for stable attachment of backpack.Cons:- less space compared to a purely rectangular suitcase inside due to a rounded cover.- The choice to reinforce the wheels and add bumps to this reinforcement (to allow it to lay flat )mean you are giving up about an inch of potential verticle storage. On a bag this small you feel the loss. (Pictured)- Design flaw. The handle on the bottom of the bag is meant to double as a stand. Due to the design of the bag, this handle ends up bending slightly, which allows the lower zippers to rub against the floor, (pictured) every time the bag is stood up. (The bag still stands up despite this. This will eventually lead to a lower zipper failure. At one year in, i have modified the bag with a abs plastic skid plate in an effort to delay this failure. (Pictured) I’ll check in next year with a progress report.Overall: I think it is a killer bag at the $200 price point. You will have to go up in price if you want a bag that actually has a reinforced lower. I also don’t know if the reinforced wheels are a good or a bad thing, since mine haven’t failed, but I do notice the lack of space. If you were trying to spend less than $300 on a carry-on bag, I think this is the perfect one. If you have closer to a $400 budget, I would go with something more like luggageworks.

This brand is the best luggage I have ever used. My last one lasted almost 8 years of regular traveling. This bag offers plenty of room for shoes , under garments and clothes for a 2-3 day trip along with easy to roll bag. I love OGIO for their quality and durability. Highly recommend this bag. Installs easy in overhead bins on airplanes and easy to roll through the terminal. A+++++++

Wheels are nice and great fit fo mt PS5 along with some clothes.

I've had an Ogio Layover bag of my own for several years. It has been all over the country and internationally as well. It does well on business or vacation. This has to be the sturdiest rolling bag I've ever used. The extendable handle is well protected which is important as that is the piece that is most frequently damaged during travel. The zippers are sturdy and always close easily. The material is very strong and I've yet to see any wearing or ripping. If extra space is needed the bag can extend outwards with a well designed zippered extension. This is great for stuffing in extra clothing or souvenirs.I purchased a second Layover recently for my wife who's always been envious of mine. Her old generic brand rolling bag was literally falling apart and it was time for an upgrade. She's already used her new Layover for several trips and loves it. I'm sure it will treat her well for a long time.I'd recommend this roller for pretty much any traveler. It is small enough to be used as an overhead bag. I've used it for long weekends as well as 7+ day trips. If you pack efficiently it can handle whatever you need.

I’ve had an Ogio backpack for the last 4 years. I travel 35 weeks a year and that backpack is still holding up well. I needed a good carry on roller bag to compliment my Ogio backpack. I bought the Ogio and all I can say is that it has impeccable build quality and looks great! I can fit enough clothes and stuff in it for a 5 day trip. Good bag, good buy, don’t cheap out, just get the Pgio.

I am partial to soft-sided travel bags; this is the best so far. Looks great!I just hope it holds up for my whole travel season and beyond. After all, it's not hard luggage, but quality is there. You can tell by the stitching, handles, wheels, and overall sturdiness. Many storage compartments as well.

I purchased for my son and he loves it! He has a family but this was perfect for him. It’s functional with all pockets and side zipper areas. I ordered black, looks more expensive than it was.

2015: This is my favorite bag from Ogio. My last Ogio Layover was stolen (growl) so it was a bitter replacement. I can easily pack several days into it with gym clothes and at least one pair of shoes. Sometimes I take off with this bag with a weeks worth of clothing without hesitation. It fits. The front pouches are also convenient for the stuff TSA likes to look at.They improved the material of the handles to a more sturdy, stout aluminum and it telescopes out in a single stage where many bags have a two stage telescoping handle.Skip forward to 2022. This bag is still kicking. 2015-2022 heavy carry on and occasional checked use (if I check one bag I check them all). I’ve never been told to check it involuntary. Check out those wheels. More miles on them than a Effing Ford Ranger and the bag still looks new.
