Although not technically within airline carry-on standards, it's a soft bag and was not challenged and I'm confident it could have fit in the test cage had I been asked. Safron is a stunning Hawkeye Yellow and there is no mistaking your bag in the sea of black, brown and blue. Sturdy doesn't even begin to describe the ruggedness of this product...
impressed from the second I removed it from the box to the moment I dropped it on the floor back home after my first trip. Once again, first class only costs 100% more, but never leaves you wanting. Outstanding duffle. Thank you Red Oxx!

I packed everything I needed for myself and my 4yr old son on a weekend trip. The bag is built well with heavy duty zippers and hardware. I thought I might have issues with the larger 5.5 on the flight...not a problem...the bag compresses in the overhead bin and fits fine. At times I wish it had rollers but then it would pack half what this bag holds. Customer service was great. I'm a happy customer.
Top Notch!

I just received my Safari-Beanos PR 5.5 and Gator Bag in Can't-Miss-Me saffron, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of these bags! I picked it up to replace a rolling duffel that I use to pack my gear for work up in the mines in northern Alberta (that lasted six months), and I fully expect this one to greatly surpass that. My only question is whether I should have gotten the PR 6 instead, as I need to haul a lot of stuff for only ten days, but we'll give it a shot... who knows, I may have to pick one up as well!
A NECESSITY!

I have stolen my Dad's for years now and once graduation came around I knew what I wanted. Great quality and made in the U.S. I couldn't ask for anything better or anything that would last longer.
Another Railroad Grip

I've had my Safari-Beanos Bag PR 5.5 for well over 3 years now. It has stood up to whatever the railroad and I could throw at it. Roomier enough to hold my gear, a small cooler and my personal items. Placed side by side with the railroad grip this bag is a bit shorter and narrower, but makes up the inside carrying capacity by being a bit longer. I have found it easy to carry in and out of the older locomotives narrow doors. The choice of colors makes it easier to pick out my grip amongst the rest of the railroader I work with. My many thanks to Red Oxx for taking the worry out of my luggage with making such a durable product.

After hearing many horror stories of lost luggage my wife and I decided to try an all carry-on vacation. We decided on this bag for each member of the family. The trip was a complete success!! everyone had a different color bag and no extra bags were necessary. We were never questioned about this size as a carry-on bag. Thanks for making bags that I feel confident will last a life time.Leo BrownNote, Red Oxx makes no claim that you can get away with taking a PR 5.5 as carry on luggage, although some of our taller customers can easily get away with it!

Undoubtedly the best bag I've owned. What a well thought out, high quality product! I chose the 5.5 as a checked bag for 1 week (or so) trips. There's enough room that I end up packing my wife's excess, still with room to spare. Now awaiting (gift) Sky Train as I'll attempt to navigate my way through carry on once again.
Blown away by the quality!!!!

Wow!!! I have friends that have purchased the Railroad Grip and recommended Red Oxx to me. I got on line and purchased the 5.5 in Safari with much anticipation for my first trip with my new bag. I was extremely pleased with the purchase due to the quality and the size of the 5.5. It is a little bigger than the Railroad Grip, which is exactly what I needed. I have recommended Red Oxx to other BNSF employees that have asked me about my 5.5. I believe, that I am the only one that has the 5.5 at this time, but I foresee other employees ordering the 5.5 in the near future. GREAT BAGS FOR ANY OCCASION. I NOW ALSO HAVE A WISH LIST FOR MY WIFE TO VIEW!!! HINT HINT.
Australia and New Zealand Aren't As Tough as this Duffle!

I took my PR 5.5 on a six week trip through New Zealand and Australia, traveling by car, train, ferry, helicopter and airplane. It was kicked, stuffed, poked, thrown and carried through some rough country and conditions. It still looks the same as the day I received it. There is no better quality anywhere. People carrying those cheap, mass-produced duffles made in China and the rest of the Third World take one look at mine and ask where I got it. They have broken straps, rips and broken cheap zippers done up with duct tape. I guess there's a way to break a Red Oxx product but I haven't found it yet. I now own two duffles, a Gator, an Air Boss, a C-Ruck a Mini Ruck and a 'Lil Roy. I take different bags depending on the trip but I NEVER use anything that wasn't made by Red Oxx. The products are, simply stated, THE BEST!
Grandma's favorite!

Have 11 grandchildren, quick weekend trips via SWA, around the west, this is a great bag. Always asked "where did you get it?" I can fill it full of camera gear, treasures for the children, and still have room left for me and I know I can always carry it on board with me. Plus the bright yellow is easily identifiable!
