I'm very satisfied with the quality of the carrier. I bought the Black, MEDIUM size.

It seems very durable and sturdy, providing very good protection for my cat. The flipside of the sturdiness, however, is that there is very little "give," which means that it takes up more storage space (not collapsible at all), and can't be easily squeezed into smaller spaces.

I am not sure what dimensions are listed now, but the inner dimensions are 18Lx10Wx9.25H. However, due to the amount of padding and the frame, the outer dimensions are 23Lx11.5Wx11.5. This means that it will most likely not fit under the seat in an airplane, so I will have to look for slightly smaller carrier if I ever need to fly. Though the SMALL size is airline approved, based on the dimensions, I thought that my lean but adult cat would find it a bit cramped.

I really do wish this carrier was a TINY bit smaller, so that it would fit airline regulations. There is a little lip of hard material that sticks out over the entrance that is about 2inches deep; it seems unnecessary and its absence would probably help it meet airline requirements. I've tried bending it down, but it is again, very durable, which is good or bad depending on the way you look at it.

The ventilation provided by the side and front mesh window seems fairly good, while the double mesh is dark enough so that I think many people wouldn't notice that there was a cat inside.

One downside is that there is only 1 opening. I kind of wish there were more in case the zipper for one gives out. However, hopefully that won't be a concern because the zipper for the entrance is fairly heavy duty. Also, there is only one small mesh pocket at the back of the carrier; if you are traveling with your pet you will most likely have to carry a separate bag for food, toys, etc.

I haven't taken my cat outside in this carrier yet, but she's gotten a lot of use out of it nonetheless. We put it in the living room, and she took to it immediately and sleeps and lounges inside it all the time. She sometimes get pretty rambunctious inside it, and it's still held up beautifully. It provides enough space for her to stand up and turn around. When she curls up in a ball to sleep, she probably takes up only about 2/3 of the length and 1/2 of the height. I do like for her to have the extra space for potential long trips though, when she'll want to do some stretches or whatever.

If you have a medium-sized pet and are looking for a durable carrier and don't care about meeting airline cabin requirements, then this is probably one of the best choices out there.

Its hard to find a durable carrier. Small dog owners tend to use them a lot more. This is well made, but too small. The next size is too big!
It works well now that my dog is just a puppy, but I expect he will outgrow this soon.
Hope this helps.

I bought this carrier for an international flight. It had to meet Delta's regulations. It does but the inside is much smaller than the outside dimensions and my dog was incredibly cramped and uncomfortable in the carrier. Not good for long travels, especially a 12 hour flight.

Instead I have the Sherpa backpack that is much roomier inside, has more ventilation, and is more comfortable for me to carry.

This bag is good quality and looks great. I got the large which even for a corgi puppy seem on the small side. I would recommend only for lap dogs. Probably have to upgrade to another, bigger type of bag in a few months

Have used my Argo Tango for airtravel, worked very nicely. Pet, mini Dachshund, was comfortable, carrier was easy to carry and since it is soft sided it bends easily to fit under the seat.
