Hey Michael, Kevin.

The Sun Chaser ended up growing on me and I put an order in today – it’s my birthday present! Got over it’s lack of symmetry in favour of its firmer structure. Also, it is a little bigger than the PR4 as the measurements in the overview on the site don’t take into account the side pockets – which add a little over 300 cu.in – the details of which are only revealed when selecting ‘Read more’. Being a bit of a red wine bigot I had to get it in bordeaux. Looking forward to giving it a sound thrashing on future trips. Thanks for the advice.

Regards,

Allan

Nice bag, indeed. I have recently bought TWO Andiamo Valoroso VD25. They are bigger but normally do go through as carry-on because duffels are such typical carry-on and because they look smaller.

Here are pictures:

And the current best price:

At the uwantsavings sale I nabbed one for $70 or so. What a steal!

This is the big thread on Andiamo on FT including short reviews of the models I own:

Grey Beanos PR4 on Ebay –
search for “Red Oxx” and you’ll see this bag.
(I have no connection with the seller — just posting this in case anyone’s interested).

Thanks Kevin. Still vacillating. If this goes on for much longer I expect I’ll end up with both!

Thanks for the suggestion Michael W. but I find I just don’t ‘lust’ after the sunchaser – perhaps a bit too casual even in the basic black I prefer.
