No more $130, it's now $178.
Way too heavy for me. I’ll stick with my Maxlite5
@@lynnleipold2617 Also an inch too thick for most guidelines.
It's 189.00 now
6 Sep 2024 this bag is $189.99 for non-Prime shoppers!
I don’t want to be “That Person”….but…until clamshells hit the travel scene - a deep suitcase with a one-sided zip opening was the standard for a lot of luggage. Seems like simple physics that you can cram more stuff into one deep bin than two shallow bins….the hard-siders can take a bit more punishment on the road, but only if they are very well made…$$$$ !! I also love resale shop luggage…..IF it’s totally functional, the correct size for my trip and Does Not Stink!! I delude myself into thinking that old, beat-up luggage isn’t that enticing to a thief…but that’s just my fantasy - I am aware!!💕 Happy & safe travels to all!!!
You're not the only "that person." I was scrolling through the comments like, "does no one remember what suitcases used to look like?"
@@SDot2385 …no kidding!!! 💕
Joining the "That person" club too :) I always figured you either get clamshell vs top open (my preference is top open for how we access our luggage in hotels). Hearing the clamshell being called "traditional" made me feel really old at my 43 years on this Earth....lol. Although I don't usually see a hardshell with a top open, so in that respect, that is interesting and best of both worlds.
You that person. Me too
literally i was gonna say every suitcase my entire family has had for my whole life has been lid not clamshell.
Everything old is new again! Kind of old school, like an old hard American Touristor!! I like this! Hope it holds up long term!
I've never owned a clamshell bag 🤷🏼♀️
I still use my parents' old American Tourister luggage tags from the 60s... back when people used to fly Pan Am 😅. I gave up my old latching lid suitcase when it got too big and heavy for me, or I suppose I should say I got too weak for it!. I miss it. My soft-sided carry-on bag is OK for the amount of use it gets. At least one side is deeper than the other 😊
@@emmelia-6068 OMG, Pan Am! I remember that from my grandparents! 🤣🤣 Old School!!
I always hated the clamshell design when it became the norm, hence why I still like my soft shell top opening ones. Just more compact and can lean the top lid against a wall, instead of having to spread out the clam shell on the ground. Thanks for sharing
Same here! I’m still using my top opening one from 11 years ago cuz I can’t find a good light top opening one anymore…
At 8.5 pounds, it's pretty heavy if you want to keep total weight to about 17 pounds, about the weight some foreign airlines require for carry on. Otherwise, it will get checked...and it's even a bit too large for a lot of European airlines.
Agree, I recently went through checking out every carry on size case to find the perfect one. I essentially wanted one like this (hard with top opening instead of clam) that didn’t weigh so much as the airlines I travel often have 23cm depth and 7kg restrictions. After much research I found one by Delsey that meet these requirements. It’s not the absolute lightest hard shell but not bad given it met all my other requirements. It comes in at around 6.8 pounds. Haven’t used it yet but have done a test pack and am very happy with it.
3.8 kg is incredibly heavy. Many airlines outside the USA have a weight limit of 7 kg for carry-on so this case reduces what you can take with you to 3.2 kg - barely anything. In practice, it’s only any use with airlines with no weight limit for carry-on.
The holy grail! We've been looking for something like this, and it's astonishing that none of the mainstream or newbie luggage brands make it. A hard shell that opens like a soft shell.
I love the top open style. Packing cubes are the game-changer that makes this style ver efficient for me. I love the look of this sturdier piece of luggage.
The cup holder!!! Omg!! As a parent, I have zero spare hands and always need to scoff a coffee so I have a hand free for kids lol. I love the simple stuff
For real!
Though I would recommend to those travelling with a stroller to forgo a suitcase this size and instead have one giant checked suitcase for the whole family and only a weekender that can sit on the suitcase and go under the seat and/or a backpack as personal item. Shortage of hands is always an issue.
Regarding unusual baggage colors: A friend of mine has bright purple luggage…she has had her underwear (just her underwear!) gone missing somewhere between her point of origin and destination twice now! I have had good luck with teal, it contrasts with all the black bags, but apparently doesn’t scream “steal my underwear”! 😂😊😂
… 😮😂
Funny and creepy!
lol that is quite a story! Maybe put them in a packing cube like I do and burry it!
@@alysmalls I’ll have to suggest that to her next time she flies!
😮😮😮
Well look at that, were back to using a trunk for travel. I love it. British Airways lost my heirloom carryon with garment bag in the lid. Rest of the bag was similar to this, but soft sided. Thank you so much for this posting this, it solves my search for a replacement.
I have a similar case without the cup holder, but I LOVE the “lid” design like I had with some samsonite pieces back in the 90s
Oh, bought that bag a few months ago (mine is pink). I love it to bits. My brother was impressed by it and how smooth it rolls. He ended up getting the black and red wheel one. I highly recommend it.
How is yours holding so far? Thanks
I find it cute that calls the clamshell "traditional." 😊
I’ve been eyeing these for a while. It makes so much more sense. Usually your only choice for hard sides is a clamshell. And there are so many reasons I don’t like them. With this is much easier to access on the go if needed. Easier in a small hotel room, fits on hotel luggage stands, it’s easier to pack bulky items aka souvenirs 😂. I have not run into weight issues yet so I agree the weight might eventually be an issue. I keep hoping other companies start making these and they will get lighter.
Dagne Dover just released a new luggage bag and I believe it opens like this.
Lojel USA sells these. They are a higher end Japanese brand. It’s appropriately called the Cubo. These aren’t much heavier than any other hard side around the same size.
Delsey do a top opening hard case that meets international carry on size. I researched so many to find it, and love it. It’s 3.1kg.
Great review Ally. Thank you. I really love the top opening concept better. Finally a classic regular suitcase, with a durable outside. Cup holder genius !! The clamshells are a pain to open and close. I hope suitcase companies do come out with a set in this style and durable material. I hope it goes on sale for prime day 😊
JUST ORDERED THIS BAG. I hope it arrives before Sunday. I'm hoping to use it on a flight and cruise. Thank you.
I love this concept, especially for traveling places where I'm leaving all my clothes in the luggage during the stay.
I've always used a soft sided carry on because I like the top open feature. Glad to see it is available with a more sturdy suitcase.
Hard-shells are the way to go because you can wipe them down with disinfectant wipes after a flight and after a hotel 😊 I still like two separate sides but this one is cute.
I love my travel pro carry on. I like to open the lid. Very easy to grab something I need at the airport. So much easier? Never understood why the middle zip was so popular lol. I travel a lot
clam shell is easier to organize.
Because everyone has different needs. There’s no such thing as one-size fits all. Use what works best for you.
its amazing what can fit in a good 20 inch carry on for a tropical destination you could easy pack for almost 2 weeks in a bag like that!
Totally!
That is the BEST travel related item I've yet to see. I began using travel bags that really do make packing/travel easier. I'll try this suitcase. THANK YOU! 👍👍
Hopefully more companies will make this style, which looks so much saner than the clamshell, in accordance with their draconian size limits.
@@AnikanotevenUnfortunately, it fits and packs the same amount. Only real difference in capacity is the fact youre not limited to something that is 4 inches tall per side.
The idea of using the cup holder like extra nightstand room is so handy! The hotel I stayed at in Paris had TINY nightstands that were attached to the headboard, so you couldn’t even move the if you wanted to.
I totally agree. They are hard to find nowadays. The footprint is also much smaller when open.
I'm in total agreement about this style of bag. We use Travelpro Maxlite5 2 wheel bags, which have even more room than this. They're softsided but well built and really light, which is becoming a more important factor.
I use the 2-wheel Travelpro Maxlite5 as well. With international carry on weight often limited to 15 lbs/7kg every bit of weight saving helps.
What sized of travel pro do you suggest? I'm traveling to Miami and want to get their carryon but standard 21 is actually 23. I'm not sure it will easily fit in a regular overhead bin lifted by a female.
Yeh, I have a knockoff one of those. 2 wheels always beats spinners for capacity.
Travelpro is the goat! ❤
@@margaritasmirnova Travel Pro also carry a 20 inch International size, and it always fits the sizers.
I prefer the clamshell since you won't have to dig deep into the suitcase, but it does take more space though, can be hard in some smaller hotel rooms like in Japan.
I guess I will have to avoid a small hotel in japan
@pjwillsr if you have the budget, why not. For myself, I'd rather spend the money on other things because whenever I travel, the hotel is basically just a place to sleep and leave my luggage. I would be out most of the day and sometimes night, so I want to spend the minimum possible without having to stay at a hostel.
The way you pronounce, "bag"... gives me Illinois/Minnesota vibes.
But, your use of "washroom" gives me Canadian vibes.
And, then you confirmed Canadian at the end. Land of the Maple Leaf!!! Woooo!
😁 Good video.
I won’t buy a hard shell suitcase because they are too heavy and I don’t like spinners because they waste space and don’t handle cobblestones well. I do like the basic design, and as other people have pointed out, almost all luggage used to work like this.
The ones I've seen lately are very lightweight, but strong.
nowadays hard shell suitcases are much lighter than cloth counterparts, and very sturdy. they last pretty long.
@@coolerdude42not in my girlfriend's experience, they surely don’t last long, especially the big ones
Top open design….AKA, what soft shell suitcases have been doing for ages! 😏. Long live the soft shells!
Love that it packs more and that it works for you but personally, its a hassle to dig thru the pile to find what you need
there are generally weight limits anyway on carry ons so packing more will generally = more weight so meh, I prefer some basic organization
That's what packing cubes and bags are for.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade you still have to dig thru the packing cubes.
My thoughts exactly. I don’t want to have to pull my packing cubes all out if I have to get one on the bottom.
I have been looking at these suitcases, so I’m glad you reviewed it. I’m so tired of the clamshell design. It just doesn’t make sense.
Finally, time to consider a hard shell 😊 will wait for Prime Day in 2 weeks!
I really like thos design. I was thinking why don't companies creat a top open only, and now I found your video. Thanks!
I just transitioned from a regular Travelpro deep bin carry-on to a Tumi clamshell hybrid and I love it. Most of my trips involve multiple locations and I like having the two separate compartments so I can have one compartment for, say, casual wear and one for more dressy clothes. Or one for cold weather and one for warmer weather. If you're going someplace where you'll stay and not to anywhere, a deep bin bag is great because you can fit a lot.
Wow! Mind blowing! I wonder why this isn't the default format (or even common).
that top opening feature is the only way a hard shell suitcase makes sense to me
THANK YOU for this video!
Always hated clamshells, but they were almost always the most available and cheapest.
Time to overhaul my gear!!!
Great video! We prefer Travelpro soft black bags because they don't show the dirt or scuffs. To make them easy to spot, we use colored handle wraps.
I’m in the market for new luggage and have been toying with the idea of a clamshell. I’ve never used one before, but after returning from South Africa, I am considering one.
I spent more time digging through my luggage for things at the bottom, versus picking from one side. I see people talk about opening space with a clamshell, but my rooms are always big enough to open. Also, I’ve never had to open my bag mid flight for anything.
I'll never fly again, but if I did, this would be my bag. Love the cup holder!
I got a rolling clam shell suitcase recently and the first time I used it I realized that the open top style is so much better. The first chance I get, I'm replacing the clam shell bag. It's too inconvenient at the hotel.
Love your reviews I saw this in the Amazon store and loved the drink holder of all things. The bag reminds me of my beloved Motherlode with the way it opens. The Motherlode offers a bit more space in the top which is where I store sports equipment, water shoes, puffy jacket, umbrella, etc. stuff I rarely have to have and I love that. I jump between it and my Away bag but always bring my wheeled Jansport backpack as I often check the other bag on the way back and my carry-on must have wheels! XO, Kelly
You gotta have a DAB (deep ass bin) LOL. I prefer this type of luggage as well. It is so much easier to pack and handle. I used to have a very large soft luggage suitcase and it had that design. Now I am a minimal packer and this one looks good. Thanks for your insight. 😁😁
Haha love me a DAB!
I had luggage like this in the 80's. Glad to see it come back in style.
Been waiting all my life for deep hard case top opening bag.i bought a mid size bag . Mine is a ZOOMLITE it’s so fantastic as it has an expansion joint in the centre so any pockets just love it and I bought two more one cabin and one large
I had a soft side like this when I started using packing cubes. I converted to clamshell because I like to be able to see my things at a glance. Especially those loose things that may not be in a cube.
As a frequent traveller who started travelling before clamshell bags existed I prefer the newer style. It’s far easier to pack and I can definitely get more in to a clamshell. I particularly like the ability to pack each side separately. I pack plus size clothes and would never go back to a top opening case.
The absolute best think about a clamshell is the ability to pack everything snugly when the bag isn’t full.
What a deal, clever design and functionality. You sold me on this bag! Unfortunately this video came a few months too late! I purchased a Timbuk2 bag. So far it’s holding up well- it’s a 2 wheeler carry on.
PS, I enjoy your videos as i’am an airport worker at YEG!
Very cool! Some of my shots should be familiar to you then!!
My wife and I are going on a trip and wanted new luggage. We watched several of your videos and found them to be enjoyable and very informative. Based in large part on your videos I purchased a Mixi 20 in carry on. I feel badly because you didn't get credit at Amazon for the purchase. I have not previously made a purchase based on a uTube video. The issue for me was the location of the link for you to get credit. It is under ....more. I suggest that it would be helpful to the viewer and you if there was a more obvious link that gives you credit for the purchase. Thanks for your videos.
3.8 kg that’s more than half the 7 kg weight allowance. It’s too heavy.
My thoughts too. I'd travel with a half empty bag just to keep at the 7kg limit.
I have one of these but mine opens lengthwise - I love it because I can open/close it without running my hands between the nasty wheels!
Thank you so much for reviewing this case. I am a fan of hard sided carry on luggage but needed a top open to fit a motorcycle helmet, which takes up 1/2 the case. This case fit my helmet and clothes (I did have to put some clothes in my personal item). The wheels were incredibly smooth. I used the cup holder. And love the opening straps that hold the top up. Thank you!!!
I had that style in the 70s and 80s and it was good. I have a clamshell now and it's good, too. Most important is that you said, you can take something that size for 3 weeks.
The bag is cool. Loved the charging port that you can hook the power source to and use the outside access ports.
I would love to see a video of you transferring what you put into your top open case into your clamshell just to see which actually holds more. I was team top open until I transferred it all into the same size 22x14x9 clam shell to see…I was so surprised to see that I could fit everything from the top open case PLUS a Jean jacket, hooded sweatshirt, cross body, and a towel.
I just found my new replacement carry on. I was about to get the 20 inch carry on I saw you review earlier. As I travel for business it should be perfect for dress shoes and sports coats and slacks. If it had a quick access pocket on the outside for magazines and charging cable it would be the ultimate carry on.
I got a different model from that same brand. Also a hard shell with front opening, but has a laptop sleeve and some front organization pockets. Mostly good things to say but a few minor negatives. You have to carefully zip up inside panel, making sure the zippers aren’t dangling, before you zip the outside panel. They sort of crash into each other if you’re not paying attention.
8.3 pounds is a little more than twice as heavy as my hardshell carry-on. I don’t mind the clamshell design, but the heaviness of that bag would be a deal-breaker on a lot of international flights with strict weight limits.
I have never felt compelled to purchase a bag or suitcase advertised but I must admit your case looks really useful. I give it a search here in Japan. Thanks from over the pond, LoL
Clamshells are so painful. Love this!
This lid at one side makes more sense than the two equal halves idea. Now this new concept is out, we will likely see a gradual takeover of this design from all brands.
Not a new design....but yeah
Love the design, I use a soft sided top opening carry on as the carry on rules in Australia are strict so using a hard shell would just add unnecessary weight. I'm always amazed at how other countries allow passengers to carry super heavy carry on lugguage like imagine that dropping on your head 😳
I recently had two of these style bags decided to rehome them because they were the canvas/clothe typed and weren’t lightweight from some 15years ago. Good for road trips but not flights. They weren’t half bad but if i packed something deep down that I suddenly needed to remove later on it’s a big hassle. Clam-shells are my go-to choice now because they open wide and sometimes can pack for two people on short trips; his and hers. So, to each their own i say.
Just watched your video, four months later... and it is now 184.99$ in Canada. So it's probably an item you have to keep an eye on and jump on it when it comes on sale! It will go in my wish list for now, but great suggestion!
Very informative video , 😄 I switched from a clamshell trolley bag to a softshell one , much more convenient . It also extends by a couple of inches to accomodate additional items . Will never use a clamshell bag again .
Bought the white one last year for travel to Mongolia and I absolutely love it. Only down side is it's heavy for a carry on so might not be the greatest for international travel as carry ons have weight restrictions.
You totally influenced me in to getting this. It is a little heavy but I'm flying Canada Air so it should be good. I just packed this plus my personal item for a trip to Greece and I was able to pack beyond my usual summer capsule (using compression cubes) with room to spare! Cant beat the price point on this. Fully packed it weighs 9.7kg.
I have a vanity impressions xl vanity, which is a luggage size vanity. It has an electric plug, Wi-Fi, radio, Bluetooth, speaker, adjustable lights,and all the plug ins for your computer and phone. It also has a detachable case inside.
On the contrary, clamshell design is far more practical, because you reach for your insides twice as fast. And that fancy cup and phone holder.. you can have that on clamshells as well. BTW: this "new" design of yours is actually an old, original box design from 100 years ago and clamshell is an evolutionary improvement. But - if you prefere that retro-style - sure, go for it.
Works well for small spaces like in Japan!! Thank you, I was looking for this specific style of carry on.
It is easier and fastest to access the items on top of the bin. Whatever is at the bottom, though....
Another negative is that you cannot easily distribute the weights is with the others.
Cool, thanks. Who recommended it to you?
The trick is it must have a lot of adjustable compartments.
God bless you.
Counterpoint, with a clamshell, you can slide it under the bed while open so it's out of the way. Just slide it out whenever you need anything
I like this but thinking about it, I would say most of the hotel beds I've stayed in don't have an open space underneath, like they're closed up.
i would NOT store an open bag under a hotel bed. If there is a bed bug issue, you may end up taking some home with you.
when I travel, I used an organized clamshell. My things stay in my bag and at night, I zip the bag closed and store it on it’s wheels.
As someone with pretty bad arthritis in my hands i have a absolute disaster using the zippers on my clamshell type suitcase, this looks much easier to close and open. If it was just a little lighter in weight it would be a no brainer purchase for me. I'll consider it for sure though. Thanks.
I have the biggest size in this style and I really like it. Now I have the hard shell benefits without my suitcase splitting in half to open. However,I tend to be overweight because there is so much room to fill.😬
the top opening design is finally reaching the english speaking world. since I saw them amongst asian youtuber 2 3 years ago. glad to see them more often
Was it Lojel? Very high end and I love them, but having a hard time justifying the purchase. Japanese brand.
Yes but I thought the plan was to go under the seat, and forget about the overhead bin. That's the plan you taught that I love, and have implemented with success! ;-)
For those that are restricted to only under the seat bags or want to travel ultra-light - yes those videos are my system! But I also still fly with a full carry on as many of my flights allow 😊
thanks for taking the time to make this video and sharing it! Love the details and scenarios of use.
Did you know that for flying international out of Sydney Australia my weight limit for carry on was 7kg. This bag looks great but it weighs in at 8.8 pounds. That’s 3.99 kilos. So I could take 3 kgs of luggage in my carry for the flight.
The quality of the handle, the wheels and the zipper are crucial. Does the bag roll straight? Does it tend to tip over? Are the wheels protected at all?
Cup holder is cute but the other factors make or break a bag.
It's very sturdy all around, one of the smoothest bags I've owned.
Nice bag, love the front opening door. Still, the weight is an issue on international flights with restrictive weight requirements - love to see more options like this which weigh less - great coverage as usual
Thanks Aly, I love that bag but who is the manufacturer or the make?
3.8kg empty is actually quite heavy. I agree that the one opening from the top is game changing but my previous carry on not even 3kg empty. Mostly 2.6kg. So I'm not sure if I want to change to this because most airlines in Asia and Australia is very strick with the carry-on weight limit. But overall I always like your reviews. Regards from Hungary xx
Stay tuned, currently putting together a similar video for my next favorite bag which is 2.5kgs!
But in a clamshell luggage, I DON'T have to take everything out to reach for something I need mid flight. I am able to quickly open side and keep other side zippered up while I pull out my items.
Takes wider space to open though.
The challenge I have with this design compared to a clamshell is whether you can pack pressed pants and carefully folded suit jackets so they don’t wrinkle too much. In a clamshell, I put these items on the flat/front side. The bottom of this bag has the handle tracks, so no flat surface. I guess you could try putting them on top, but then you can’t have easy access items like toiletries or laptop on top.
Garment bag made for suits would solve that issue. Usually has a poly frame sheet in those.
It’s $189 US on Amazon in the US.
Seeing it for $160 on U.S. Amazon. The creator (who is clearly Canadian given her obvious accent and cadence) did the conversion correctly, it’s just more expensive now.
@@lawr17..but of course it’s more expensive now…. Over 150,000 folk have seen this video, and either ordered one from amazon or made a video about this suitcase and posted on youtube. 🥸
Tumi split carry on wins hands down. I can clamshell it or not. There is only a thin zippable divider between the two sides. I use it as top loader to start my trip, then separate dirty from clean as trip progresses. Game changer.
Before the semi-hard clamshells, we had these deep suitcases with a flat cover. It’s actually nothing new. I know because I’m THAT old. 😂
So this is a hardshell version of my 20 year old soft-sided cordura nylon bag. Actually looks pretty nice - I have never been a fan of the clamshell style suitcases.
Also, every airline I've been on recommends placing the bag in the overhead bin with the wheels facing out.
I got a 5.11 roller bag that is expandable with a top open, perfect for a 7 day trip. I hated the clamshell design of most spinners on the market
I love a hard shell suitcase because any time I’ve checked a soft shell bag it comes out looking like the gorilla from the old American Tourister commercials had a go at it, and the suitcase lost the fight. But…. I hate the clamshell! I use packing cubes and they just do not work well in a clamshell suitcase. And good luck finding a place you can open both sides of the damn thing without taking up the whole bed. I had a Delsey hard shell bag with a top opening like the one in this video but they don’t make it anymore. I’ll have to check out this bag. And I love the color!
The old school bags were this design. Are we all forgettting why we switched to clamshells? You dont have to dig too deep for items at the bottom, it splits into two shallow areas.
Been using this design for over 20 years. Never understood why people love clamshells. Yeah it looks nice. That's it.
I bought another brand, similar concept. It’s 9.25 inches wide and flew Westjet to Canada and they made me check it on. That was $160 wasted. Best to get a bag 9” or less deep and no more than 20” high including handle and wheels for the Canadian airlines.
Westjet has to be one of the strictest airlines there is! I always hear these stories about them!
We love your videos. Thank you for sharing such good information with us. Will the Mixi fit in the Ryan Air sizer?
Hi, really interesting bag. I like 1 big container better than 2. My only concern is that it is too heavy. We are allowed for 8kg max in a carry on and this weight already half of it. I might consider this one for my travel when I do not fly. Thank you for the video.
Top loading with packing bags are the way to go. Without the packing bags, everything quickly gets jumbled in the bag as you dig into it to retrieve clothing.
Cool travel case and thanks for mentioning c-pap machines👍🏽👏🏽❤️
Hello Mss. Aly, thanks for your video, My question is Luggage will hold heavy use???? on the reviews there are many complaints about the zippers and wheels braking with a few trips. thanks again.
Great bag , where to get it ?
I love that design . No clam shells. I never like the way clamshells open up. Hope luggage makers make smaller ones that go under seats, something 17” for height.
