I just recently purchased this item so the few times I have used it, it has preformed very well. I have a 7lb. cat that I use this product for. It works great. It can hold a small pet up to 25lbs. or so. Like i said I haven't had a chance to wear it out yet, but I look forward to it. It's crafted from the same great, rugged, dependable & reliable quality you expect from Coleman. The screen doors are thick and the seams are well constructed, I don't think my cat will be able to scratch, claw or gnaw her way out of this one :) It's built to FFA carry-on regulations, and includes a traveling info label just in case something unforeseen happens. If you have a small pet and travel frequently I would recommend this to you. Also, it has a conservative color scheme, which I (amongst others) appreciate. A design function feature that should be noted is that when completely unzipped it turns into a make-shift bed for your pet, another plus for traveling pet owners!
