It's a sweet bag, and if any of you have traveled with one, I'd love to hear your experiences. It has exactly the combination of features (especially the whole converts-into-a-fairly-believable-suitcase thing) that drew me to the much less costly eBags Weekender Convertible. The Minaal looks really sturdy but seriously I've abused the hell out of my Weekender and no damage whatsoever.
Here's a comparison of the Minaal to the Tortuga bag over at the Tortuga website (ooh, wonder which wins?) Oddly, the Tortuga was not among my considerations (but should have been) in a previous post about picking the best bag for 1-bag travel.
