It's funny. I first thought those pockets on the compression sleeve were just stupid and useless. BUT as I've traveled, I have found those to be incredibly useful. Almost every time, I have come home with some sort of picture souvenir of a boat excursion or certificate that was given to the kids for going on a ride or doing something. Kids buying stickers for their water bottles. Even taken coasters from different breweries to add to our home bar. Those pockets have actually come in very handy!

Can you still pull them as tight? 2. Do you mind that both the compression straps and the zipper on the other side are not mesh like the Away? 3. Probably the most important…have you had any problems with customer service with Beis? I have heard quite a few issue with their customer service. I have a non flex Away that I had an issue with and Away sent me a brand new bag with absolutely no issue. I am wondering if Beis is the same or difficult as others have stated.

So this video is somewhat old and I have definitely changed some opinions since then. The compression on both are just okay. Now that I have reviewed over 40 carry ons on the market, this compression on either bag does not compare to anything like Monos or July. Seeing the compression on these bag vs those bags… it’s not as powerful. I’m glad it’s there, and it’s better than no compression. I’ve never used the compression pad for anything, to be honest. As for the Beis customer service, I haven’t had a problem, but I know they are pretty much horrific and have heard tons of horror stories.
