    Super light weight, very easy to move with the 4 way wheels. I think one of the bags was a tiny bit different measurement than the site said, but only by a little, and not enough to cause us issues. Can't comment on durability yet - haven't had a chance to travel with them yet.

    This bag is worth every penny. Well built, maneuvers extremely well, and holds a lot.I love the front zippered areas where you can store an iPad or laptop separately. Extendable which is always a good thing.The only thing I am not crazy about is when opened it sits slightly askew because the top of the bag is tampered. Not a big deal just a small annoyance but other than that this bag is exceptionally well made.

    This is replacing a hard side bag. Didn’t like the hard side. Haven’t used this yet but it feels lightweight. Has outside pockets which, of course the hard side does not have. the expandable part seems larger at one end due to slant of bag I guess. I haven’t used this yet, but it moves easily, seems sturdy and looks like it will have a good amount of room to pack, especially with the expandable part. it has lots of inner and outer pockets for organization. The zippers seem sturdy. Seems much smaller than the 21 inch Kensington, London fog bag. That was my favorite but the wheels were apparently damaged by the airline and now they don’t make it anymore. I am giving away the 21 in hard side bag I bought and took one trip with. I really don’t like hard side bags. I never had one before but I miss the outside pockets and the give that a soft side bag has. I haven’t used this yet, but I’m hoping it will last as long as my old Kensington London fog bag.! That lasted seven years before the airlines wrecked the wheels. The London fog bag was plaid. This bag is blue – very attractive. Plus, I found that the wheelchair people at the airport who kindly helped me get my bag at baggage claim did not understand what plaid was. So I’m going to take a picture of my bag so they will know what it looks like. Although a solid blue is easier to identify for those not familiar with patterns, and non-English speakers. Happy trails!

    Like that it’s light and the wheel swivels very smoothly. Price point is steep and does not contain a build in lock for safety

    I bought this carry-on based on an excellent review, to take on a month-long trip to Asia, because I did not want to check in a bag owing to very short connecting times on both outbound and return flights. The carry-on is very light, even when filled to capacity with clothing, and is able to fit comfortably in overhead bins of both Boeing & Airbus planes.

    A lightweight, well-balanced "one week" suitcase. Very good.I put mine through a LOT this year on two complex global itineraries. It doesn't show any damage of any kind, still rolls beautifully, and was never any source of frustration. It's amazingly light (empty).The tapered shape is very effective (if packed correctly) at making sure your suitcase with stacked carryon won't fall over. Like all spinner (quad wheel) designs, it takes a little extra effort on rough pavement or over large gaps. Not enough to be frustrating, but you have to pay attention to "jump" it across the gaps or it may get stuck.This is the largest size suitcase I consider "manageable":* It'll fit (all 4 wheels) on the step of every escalator I took it on (at least two dozen)* It'll fit properly in the Amtrak end-of-car luggage racks (both NEC Regional and Acela)* It'll fit (tight) between the facing seats on the New York LIRR* It fit in the cargo area of all types of small taxis around the world* It fit through the hatch and in the narrow back end of a seaplane without any theatrics.* And not so large that it'll lend itself to overpacking past the checked weight limitIf that wasn't enough, it also went through transfers, sorting, load&unload in all kinds of temperature extremes, long haul flights, big airports, dinky little airports, being checked & transferred a dozen times. Held up like a champ. Better than me, possibly.Other thoughts:I'd characterize this as week-long suitcase. But for solo travelers, if you're a low-maintenance or high-density packer, don't do much shopping, and have a carry-on also? Comfortably 9-14 days, verified personally.For a couple packing together it's probably less, 4-6 days?If you're not carrying breakables, I think this sort of nylon construction is "easier" to work with than a hardside. It has some flex and some ability to squish, the expansion zipper works well, it's easy to pack w/o any special techniques.I've used Traevelpro's other products, but this first maxlite piece has me already ordering another size.Highly Recommended.

    Bought this for my wife to replace an older, smaller, low quality suitcase. In my opinion this size is extreme overkill, but she loves it! So much room to pack all those clothes you "think" you might need on vacation, but never wear.High quality, very nice handles, wheels and zippers. Full expect this to hold up very well over the years.

    I am very happy with my purchase, I've travelled ALOT (104 countries so far) and I personally love having a rollaboard carry-on and especially one that has a long enough handle for me to easily roll it through airports (I am 5'10" tall), and having just a single, large compartment in which to pack, makes it much easier for me to load my things in. Different than the hard-sided, clam shell case the airlines send at a replacement to my other soft-sided rollaboard, this one allows for more capacity. The extra side handle and one on the bottom, between the wheels, makes picking it up much easier. The lightweight material is also good, for those countries that actually weigh your carry-on luggage too! The wheels roll nicely (I know, it is new) and that whole bag is very sturdy. Even though this doesn't have a built-in TSA lock, which was originally on my requirements list, the fact that I don't intend on checking this bag, made that a non-issue. I have my own separate TSA lock on it, just in case I do have to check it. I'm sure I'll have this one for a very long time. It holds my tote bag nicely as well. I highly recommend this suitcase.

    This carry-on suitcase is light weight, has a lock feature that is easy to use, and rolls very well over various types of ground. The size is great with a front zipper pouch that holds a laptop (instead of me using a separate computer bag). Travel-pro brand is known for its durability and so far it has held up very well! A brand we would buy again.
