Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Carry on Luggage with 4 Spinner Wheels, Lightweight Suitcase, Men and Women, International, Black, Carry on 19-Inch

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.

For those that are not aware, the size limitations for carry-on luggage, for non-US carrier carriers, within the EU are different than in the US. The size of the carry-on is much smaller and the regional EU airlines regularly enforce the size and weight limits. This bag is the only high-quality, light-weight, carry-on that meets the EU requirements. The bag rolls smoothly, has a strong handle and the wheels did not break as they rolled over the cobblestone streets in Italy. The light weight allows you to pack more into the bag without going over the 17lb limit that most carriers require. I was able to fit 2 week's worth of clothing for a trip.

This was purchased for an overseas vaca. Have not yet used but appears to be strong, roomy and durable. It is an easy-glide with the spinner wheels and light weight. Since I have not packed yet it remains to be seen if it will be heavy when lifted, as I like to lift my luggage to rest on top of the counters in the room we are in.

Great price, good quality, great internal and external size (fits well in the airplanes overhead), light weight. I like the swivel wheels.

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!

Goodbye Samsonite, hello Travelpro. Bought a mid-sized carry-on for just under $200 from Samsonite and the thing felt flimsy and could not even spin. I’ve been a Samsonite customer forever. A Reddit thread led me to Travelpro, bought this, could not be happier. Just came back from a 2-week trip to Japan and it looks like new, despite journeys literally in trains, planes, and automobiles. Spins great, handles great. Smaller than my Samsonite mid sized carry-on but still fits a lot. Telescoping handle stops at different points successfully; handle is covered in the suitcase’s fabric so is comfortable. The case is super light. Happy to have found a new luggage brand.

Pretty great. Super light, just 5.6 pounds! Durable as well. Survived as a checked bag over 7 separate flights during a marathon European trip this summer. A few scuffs are the only evidence of it's travels. It also fits the more restrictive European airline carry-on limits (we bought 2, and one of them was used as carry-on).

I am a TravelPro loyalist who normally flys carry on only (Crew 10 20" and Maxlite 4 22"). I have a Maxlite 4 26in for those times when a check in is a must. My SO has more....lets say "expansive" needs.This is a MASSIVE bag. Im not kidding at all, you cold put a 2 grader in there and still have room for a weeks worth of clothing. At the same time it is light as a feather. According to TravelPro it weighs less than a pound more than the 26" version with just two wheels. It feels lighter.I am a hardcore "two wheels is better than 4" person but this spinner is making me question my decisions. Its incredibly easy to move even at max load.We will put the durability to the test this summer with an overseas vacation but Im not worried. My Maxlite 4 26in has taken tons of abuse for the last 7 years and its fine. My crew 10 has taken more abuse for almost a decade and is even better.Apparently purple/lavender is not a popular color because I got this on a really good sale. Jokes on them. Not only do I love the color but its super easy to find at the baggage area.I really cant say enough good things about this bag. If you need space, get one.
