it luggage World's Lightest Los Angeles Softside 2 Wheel, Strong Blue, Carry-On 22-Inch

Just purchased my second bag. I used the first one for years and am still using it as my "go to" bag for pretty much any trip. Got a new one so I will always have one available. The bag is incredibly light, yet protects the contents and is very roomy for it's size. The inside is basically one big open area that holds my packing cube type containers and gear. Inside the cover there are four pockets that I use to hold various kits that stay in the bag pretty much all the time. (medical, laundry, food, tools) There are two pockets on the outside, a smaller document sized upper pocket and a large lower pocket that's roomy and doesn't encroach on the interior of the bag. The wheels are the sturdy skateboard type. There are carrying handles on the top and side of the bag. The telescoping handle is a wide, flat-topped, inverted U shape that slides down into the outside frame of the bag. As a result, the handle is very convenient and easy to pull, however it is wide. Most bags designed to slide down over the telescoping handle won't fit. For longer trips I use an e-bag carry-on sized backpack that I set right on top of the IT bag. The e-bags have side straps that easily attach to the side telescoping struts to keep it stable. It works great! The only problems I have had with the bag are that one of the zipper pulls broke off and the IT logo medallion was lost when I once checked the bag. I was able to replace the pull with an aftermarket pull. I don't miss the logo. In fact, they should just embroider the logo onto the bag instead of the chunky metal one. In all, I think the bag is perfectly suited to my needs. It's just the right size for carrying on, it's super light, yet tough and easy to use.

So lightweight. This says there is a 10 year warranty. It’s a tad smaller than my other Samsonite but look at the difference in empty weight. I just turned 69 and my old roll-on was so heavy to put in the overhead bin. We are retired airline employees so we travel a lot!! We don’t like to check our bags because we non-rev (we only get on a plane if there are empty seats). I can put the bag in the bin wheels first rather than lengthwise which saves room for others. . It is an upright (not spinners) I prefer spinners but have lost wheels in Italy cobblestone so hoping when international travel resumes, we can give this Light weight bag a full test. I use packing cubes and the bag will fit a 4-day trip with a spare pair of shoes and a “pack-flat toiletry bag in my domestic travel. My husband has a size 13 shoe and a bulky toiletries bag and refuses to use packing cubes, so probably could only put 2 days if he packs extra shoes. I have not checked it yet to see how it will hold up to being thrown and stacked, but I saved all my receipts and UPC codes just in case it needs to be returned. I like that the handles slide down the outer side of the bag so I don’t have the rods of the handle at the bottom where I pack. If you push your bag to maneuver it out of the way in the airport, the handle will slide down an inch or so but isn’t enough to make a difference. I can slide my iPad into the large outer zippered pocket. So far, I’m extremely impressed. Packed for 4 days and it was easy for me to put in the overhead bin by myself.

It's lightweight, stylish, should hold up to occasional trips, which is what I bought it for. I am a retired Advantage Platinum business traveler and would not expect this to have stood up to weekly business travel. Even with the idea of, "This is so inexpensive, why not buy this instead of a heavier-duty overnight bag, because I can replace it two or three times for the cost!". Who needs that? A business traveler needs to spend a fair top dollar on a bullet-proof tool. This is "probably" not that. Why "probably"? Because in all honesty, I have not taken it from coast to coast dozens of times...I just bought it. It just doesn't APPEAR to be that strong. For me, for what I want to use it for now, it doesn't have to be. It's light, I've had another IT bag that fared well on a single European vacation, and when I take a few European vacations with this bag, I'd expect it to hold up fine and still get me through plenty of domestic vacations. Is it a 10 pound bag made out of Kevlar? No, and it doesn't claim to be. To me, it's a VERY well made, lightweight bag, and I am confident it will get me though enough vacation trips to be well worth the money. For business road warriors, though? I doubt it.

It's smaller than described measurements, even including handle and wheels. It will fit all airline requirements. I stuffed it with 2 dresses, 2 shorts, 2 capris, 5 shirts, 2 bras, 10 underwear, 1 swimsuit, 5 pair of socks, all my liquids and all my non liquid toiletries. (makeup, perfume, toothbrush, hair products, brush, straightener etc). It weighed right at 21.5lbs, which is under Ryanair's requirements. And I could fit a couple souvenirs in on the way home if I wanted. I don't see it lasting years and years, but it is inexpensive, light, and will work for what I need. My main concern is regularly flying out of a regional airport and the constant gate checking that happens ruining it. The fabric is noisy, like a polyester gym pant style, but would clean easily if spilled on. It's sort of a very light houndstooth pattern with the main color and a darker version of the main color as the contrast. I will update if something tragic happens on my travels and it doesn't last/work as I expect.
