This bag is huge! Arrived in a large box that was easy to open. Inside the box the bag was inside a polythene bag. I use this trolley bag to carry kit for the band I play in, guitar leads, microphone leads etc, The retractable handle is a godsend because with all the leads stowed in the bag it is too heavy to carry!
As for the bag itself it is made from a strong canvas and is 'top opening' with a 'zipped flap' as opposed to the usual 'clam type' opening. Attached to the flap are some thin elastic 'straps' that are not very substantial and I haven't figured out a use for them yet. The base is a hardwearing composite material that keeps the bag base waterproof when placed upon the ground. The side pockets all have Velcro fasteners - I don't use the pockets as they don't seem to be too secure. There are multiple 'open' pockets inside the bag and these I do use for small leads and connectors.
On the down side whilst the handle is useful (essential in my case) it doesn't look very strong and I tend to hold the bag up vertically before extending the handle - I would have appreciated a couple of rubber pads on the other end of the bag so that the bag could be left standing upright - as it is the bag must be laid flat in which case, if the bag is fully loaded with heavy kit, you have to be careful that you do not permit the retractable handle to carry the full load whilst lowering the bag to the floor.
If you are after a large bag and can live with the blue colour this is a very versatile bag and might just be the bag you are looking for!
