Wesley,

Thanks for your comment. The bag is definitely a steal. As for shoulder straps, I’d recommend the Absolute over the Claw, but YMMV. Check my review of shoulder straps on this site.

I have been using this bag for 18 months and over 200,000 miles of business travel. My typical trip is 6-10 days in Europe or Moscow, with a few shorter trips across the US thrown in. I only carry this bag and my Tumi briefcase. I have been thrilled with the performance. I generally use the shoulder strap, but do resort to the backpack straps when the load demands it. The unstructured build of the bag allows it to go into small overhead bins that even smaller hard luggage will not fit into. Going without wheels allows me to walk up escalators and take steps faster which can result in being at the front of the customs line versus near the rear. This saves a lot of time! I can fit one pair of dress shoes in one of the front pockets and have crammed two pairs of shoes into the front, one pair in each pocket. The top “third” pocket easily carries my ziploc bag of liquids for easy access. The rear small pocket I use to carry sunglasses and do not worry about them getting crushed due to the unstructured, flexible build of the bag. The material is bulletproof, not one tear in all this travel. This travel is very rough on luggage, with bags being smashed into overhead bins, thrown into taxis, and hauled around on crowded trains.

My only complaint is the large pad on the should strap is too slippery on my shoulder. I am soon changing it for the Claw shoulder strap.

I can tell you that I am very impressed with the quality of Golite gear. Right now I own the Tumalo Pertex® 2.5-Layer Storm Jacket (which is about as lightweight as you can get), the Hooded Roan Down Jacket, the Adrenaline Down 3-Season Mummy Bag, and a few other pieces of Golite gear. I have no complaints, and I can tell you that when I add a silk liner to the Adrenaline Down 3-Season Mummy Bag, I can use it down to 10 degrees F.

I have had my eye on the Go-Lite foe a while, hoping to buy on sale. The lack of tie-downs doesn’t worry me — I’ve had my cobbler add tie downs in other bags. But I don’t want to pay full price for the Go-Lite and then pay someone else to correct this dificiency. Thanks for the info and pix on the Go-Lite – the lack fo detail at the Go-Lite website is rahter shocking!
