I stumbled across the Luggageworks brand via a pilot's blog. I've been searching for a rolling tote/underseat bag. LW makes a bag called the Aurora rolling tote. It comes with some accessories (some of which I probably won't use). It looks like a terrific (albeit heavy) bag. However, I was only able to find one review on YouTube.
I'm unfamiliar with the brand but have found some happy reviewers discussing some of their other bags.
It doesn't necessarily have to fit under a seat; the overhead compartment is good too.
Does anybody have one of these Aurora rolling totes?

Link, please.
Thanks.
At 14" wide (says high, but you could put it in sideways), the rolling tote would not fit United's 10" limit, but it would fit American's 14" limit. I don't think Delta gives dimensions, just that it has to fit under the seat.
However, at 9.5" thick, it wouldn't fit Uniteds 9" or American's 8" limit.
Not sure why you are so high on this bag. It won't fit under the seat, at 7.6# it's awful heavy, and, at 37L, it's a little small for a bag that goes in the overhead bin.
Now, admittedly, since I only have about 1400 ci (23L) of stuff, it would be fine for me, but at 12# with my current bag, loaded, I don't need wheels, and the weight of this bag, empty, would probably put me over the 8kg Lufthansa limit, loaded.

I have an older underseat bag that is top-loading. Looks like this one is somewhat top-loading also, but maybe not as restrictive as mine.
I bought a new underseater a little while back that fully opens like a suitcase. I like that better. I can see what's inside without having to remove everything.

khansen, I hadn't thought of access that way, i.e. Having to remove everything to get to other things. I looked at clamshells and was worried that it would be hard to get things out of the bag once in flight. Like I'd need a big space to open the bag fully.

I do NOT need a new bag (lol) but am intrigued by the size of this one. 37 liters is bigger than my trusty old Eagle Creek international carry-on. This might be a versatile option for light packers who don't want a backpack. (Or for people who check a larger bag and use this as their carry-on.)
