Reviews

I packed this as my

"I packed this as my carry-on for a ten day trip to Italy. It easily handled everything I needed. I had a very tight flight connection in Munich after customs, and did not want to take the chance of missing that flight because I had to wait at luggage claim. Both me and the Maxlite scooted through everything easily. It wheels easily and quietly. I feel like a flight attendant who knows what he's doing. And I normally I get black luggage, but decided to mix things up with the slate green. An excellent choice."

Steve G. (5/5)

I like it. Everything seems

"I like it. Everything seems very well thought out and is functional. I do wish the wheels were more robust. But I understand the tradeoffs."

randall h. (4/5)

This is remarkably light, but

"This is remarkably light, but it's the right size for international travel, and I think it will hold up well. The shipping was a little confusing, in that the tracking said it described 1 of 2 items, when they were actually shipped together in the same box (this carry-on inside a medium suitcase on the same order."

Alex W. (5/5)

"Love how light this carry on is! And the slate green is a beautiful color!"

Teresa (5/5)

Disappointed

"I had a Travelpro sixe 22 inches for years and loved it. It finally gave out and had only 2 wheels anyway so was time for a replacement. I was excited to find on the Travelpro website the exact same bag but with 4 wheels. However, when I got it, it was much smaller even though it said it was 22 inches. The length was indeed that but the height had been cut back and on one end it sloped down so much, its pretty useless. I am quite unhappy!"

Donna M. (3/5)

I returned this carry on

"I returned this carry on without using it because it was smaller than I expected. It has, what I believe, is a design flaw. The carry on narrows which prevents anyone from packing as much as they would with a suitcase that’s truly rectangular. I was very disappointed with this design and I have 29’ Maxlite 5s that I like using."

Robert Z. (1/5)

Great quality luggage!

"Great carry-on luggage. Great quality and easy rolling."

Raquel W. (5/5)

This a well made piece

"This a well made piece of luggage. I can not believe how much you can fit inside."

Nancy H. (5/5)

Compact carry-on

"Compact carry-on does not indicate that the top of it is curved down and you’d lose space"

Vinn M. (5/5)

Almost perfect!

"It’s only 21” why not 22”?"
