Poor update of an excellent design
I bought my first Tarmac 22 in 2007. I've now purchased a total of five Tarmacs, three for our own use (two 22s and a 25), and two as gifts for others.
These suitcases are very well made. They are quite lightweight, roll easily, and are durable in my experience. Eagle Creek provides a lifetime warranty. I had one problem with a handle, and Eagle Creek quickly fixed it by sending me a new handle and help over the phone to install it, all at no charge. Great customer service!
The older Tarmac 22 was a brilliant design. The inside of the lid contained two very useful compartments, each about 3" deep and covered by a mesh lining. The larger of these compartments kept my shirts and slacks in a neat stack, protected from wrinkling. The smaller of the compartments held my sox and toiletries. The outside of the lid had two more compartments, the large of which could hold a bulky fleece jacket, even when the inside of the lid was fully packed.

Size is not as advertised
I've critically reviewed various Eagle Creek products before, but I always keep buying them. The quality of manufacture (in Vietnam) is excellent, but the constantly changing product specifications are bewildering and annoying. Two other reviewers have gone into that, so I won't repeat it. I just want to point out that the product dimensions advertised on the Eagle Creek website and on Amazon are incorrect. The product size advertised is the carry-on legal 14 x 22 x 9, however what arrives is clearly labeled 14 x 22 x 10, which is not strictly legal for airline carry-on. If you feel strongly about playing by the rules, knowing that your luggage is over carry-on size is vexing, even if the airline usually lets you get away with it. The Pack-it cubes really don't fit as the Eagle Creek illustration suggests. The cubic inch interior space advertised is also different than shown on the tag attached to the luggage. The 18" shirt folding Pack-it is really excellent, but it doesn't...
Ad copy needs updating
I ordered this suitcase and was disappointed to discover that the "built-in Pack-It System Shoe Box and Stash Cache organizers" described in Amazon's ad copy were missing from the unit. I called Eagle Creek and was told that the Shoe Box and Stash Cache were included in last year's version of the 22" Tarmac, but have been omitted from this year's model, which is the one I was sent. Also, I had ordered the black case, expecting the interior lining to be black or gray, but the interior is actually red. Other aspects of the suitcase seem great and as advertised -- telescoping handle, zippers, and wheels all seem sturdy, and I especially appreciate Eagle Creek's "No Matter What" guarantee, Amazon's easy returns procedure, and the promotion currently in effect allows free returns: makes for no-worries ordering.
