According to the SouthWest website, this bag will totally fit as a carry on. But, according to the manufacturer, it won't.

Will the ZÜCA SPORT fit in the overhead compartment?
NO, The ZÜCA Sport was not designed as a carry on bag. It may fit in some airline overheads but please check with your airline for overhead dimensions. If you are looking for a ZÜCA you can carry-on check out our ZÜCA PRO (see next FAQ below). We also sell a travel cover to protect your ZÜCA in the event you check your bag.
Will the ZÜCA PRO fit in the overhead compartment?
YES! The ZÜCA PRO is designed as a carry-on travel bag and conforms to the FAA standard of 45" total (45" L+W+H). While the Pro fits easily in the overhead compartments of the vast majority of commercial aircraft, there are exceptions among smaller commuter aircraft (meaning smaller than 737's, MD80'S and similar.) Please verify with the airline you are traveling with that the model aircraft being scheduled for your trip will meet the FAA Standard. Also verify that your airline has not imposed new restrictions in the last few months as many airlines are currently changing the carryon rules. The Pro is 10" x 19.5" x 13" so it is compliant with FAA restrictions.
So, is it going to work as a carry on, or not?
